Hey! Come by Kafe Kiskeya (12th & Benton Blvd) in the Historic Northeast Neighborhood and paint a coffee cup for Mosaic Brain's Annual Cups for a Cause Event. Saturdays, September 29 & October 13, 2007 from 2- 6pm.
You make a donation of $5.00 and paint a cup. Actually, you glaze it. We fire it and put it with dozens of others into our Silent auction, Cups for a Cause, on November 8, 2007.
Then you get a bunch of friends to come the event and bid for the cup. We'll also have lots of art and goods and services on hand to bid on as well!
See you Saturday!

3 Innocents & A Spirit
Dream Studio Presents 3 Innocents & A Spirit
All the way from Haiti, this production by the N a Sonje Foundation explores 700 years of history in less than an hour, and offers a post-production discussion between cast and audience.
Dream Studio and Kafe Kiskeya present "3 INNOCENTS AND A SPIRIT", a historical drama depicting the interactions of the people from the Americas, Europe, and Africa, on September 28th at 7:00 pm at Dream Studio, 711 East 31st Street, KCMO 64109. Tickets are $10 and can be reserved by calling 816-914-5096.
"3 INNOCENTS AND A SPIRIT" is performed by two Haitian men representing the Native American and African cultures, respectively, and an American woman representing the European culture. Dressed in era costumes, the three actors weave together mime, interactive participation, authentic historical texts and music to demonstrate the progression and effect of historical events.
The play exposes the destruction and acculturation of the Native Americans and the enslavement of Africans, which resulted in a transfer of wealth and natural resources to Europe. During the drama the Native American, European, and African characters experience a transformational awakening through which they realize their physical and spiritual losses, as well as their mutual need for one another. The three characters then offer each other gestures of compassion and forgiveness, ultimately recognizing the need for healing and reconciliation.
The cast will engage in a post-production discussion, creating an open forum for ideas and solutions that can help towards the healing of our fractured societies. Further information can be gathered at the following sites: 3 Innocents, N a Sonje Foundation, and Memory Village.
For more information about the play contact Sarah Cool at 816.914.5096 or coolsarahs@hotmail.com. Visit Meaningful Communications to download a flyer.
