What's New!
Each year, the Millibo Art Theatre (formerly Manitou Art Theatre) presents The Six Women Playwriting Festival. The mission of the festival is to present theatre that explores the human experience and the human spirit through the examination and presentation of dramatic work.
PPLD TV captured the 2011 festival performances. Below, you can watch Off to Summer (Written by Tira Palmquist; Directed by LeAnne Carrouth; Performed by LeAnne Carrouth and JaNae Stansbery). To view the other plays, click here or tune in to PPLD TV (Comcast 17, Falcon Broadband 75) on Sun., Nov. 6 at 7 p.m.; Tue., Nov. 8 at 9 p.m.; or Wed., Nov. 9 at 9 p.m.

Here's a list of banned and challenged books.
I think my favorite from that list is Like Water for Chocolate, by Laura Esquivel.
