What was that about brunch?Some of the old brunch entrees will reappear alongside new creations on our Specials board, so don't panic when you don't see them on this menu.

The Waldron Arts Center opens its doors in 2024 with three new exhibitions in the galleries. In the Miller Gallery, Laura Greenwood presents Resonance, a large-scale, interactive art installation. Through the medium of photography, Greenwood attempts to connect humans to nature and their surroundings, using sheer, floor-length fabric panels to display her images. Her work responds to the movements of its viewers, inspiring awe, and reminding us all of the delicate relationship between people and nature. Video and audio components share the sense of awe Greenwood experiences in her interactions with nature and attempts to evoke the same in viewers.
In the Educational Gallery, Danny Bolton presents his show, Saccharine Gestures. A series of works in various sizes, mediums, and depths fill the space with interest while Bolton explores mark-making, texture, color, and shape. Through his nonobjective art, Bolton attempts to blur the lines between art and reality, incorporating everyday objects in an effort to question where the line between art and reality might begin to be drawn. Suspended Animation: Narratives on Pause opened in December 2023. In this exhibit, Jennifer Herrold showcases a collection of paintings influenced by her background in graphic design and her family of artists. Each work strives to display the contrast, innate in all created things, between idea and technique, flat and 3D forms, and mood and logic, while also giving a nod to the still life tradition with her use of negative space as a pause.

Constellation is ringing in the new year with its 23/24 Season Woodward/Newman Award Winning Play: Webster’s B!+@# by Jacqueline Bircher, on stage January 25 - February 11 at the Ted Jones Playhouse. Directed by Constellation’s Associate Artistic Director, Daniella Wheelock, this Constellation Original tackles the power of language, gender dynamics, and office politics in the age of social media. Featuring a star-studded cast of favorites like Diane Kondrat and Henry Woronicz, this witty new play is not to be missed!
When their Editor-in-Chief gets caught using some unexpected profanity, the employees of Webster’s Dictionary find themselves at the center of an internet uprising over gender and obscenity in the age of social media. As office politics collide with ambition, morality, and lexicography, the future of the English language hangs in the balance. Constellation is thrilled to be bringing this comedic and powerful new play to Bloomington audiences! Webster’s B!+@# was the recipient of this season’s Woodward/Newman Award, an exclusive honor offered by Constellation, started through the support of Joanne Woodward, Newman’s Own Foundation, and the Newman family, celebrating Paul Newman & Joanne Woodward’s tremendous history of work on stage and screen.
