Based on audience surveys of shows patrons would most like to see ECCT produce again, this was the show that received the most votes!

Based on the extremely popular Disney movie, this Broadway version is full of music, color, dance and spectacular special effects. Characters like Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, Belle and the Beast and songs like “Gaston”, “Belle”, “Be Our Guest” and the familiar title song make this a fitting show to kick off the 20th Anniversary Season.

Campus Film: The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Lyrical, erotic and allegorical drama set in Czechoslovakia on the eve of the 1968 Soviet invasion. A surgeon and compulsive womanizer (Daniel Day-Lewis) divides his time between the free-spirited painter (Lena Olin) who is one of his lovers, and the politically conscious photographer (Juliette Binoche) he marries. "In 1988, the film received a lot of attention for its frank sexuality, but its sex scenes aren't as notable for their lustiness (though it's best not to understate how sexy they are) as for how much Kaufman and his actors say with only body language. No one leaves the film unchallenged or unchanged. Other people and the forces of history make sure of that. And whether the outcome is tragic or blissful, it's part of what makes any life, whether lived once or repeated endlessly, worth living at all. No one floats forever" (The Onion A.V. Club). USA 1988, 171min, rated R, Directed by Philip Kaufman.

Exhibit: Common Thread Quilters
When Bob and Deb Aaron’s house burned down in the Dunn County town of Otter Creek in 1984, one thing that grew out of the ashes was a women’s quilt group, Common Thread Quilters. The fire quilt they made as their first project for the Aarons was followed by baby quilts, wedding quilts, graduation quilts, and now includes grandchildren quilts. The membership has changed a little over the years, but the majority are founding members with many still living in western Wisconsin, and a few “social members” scattered from Duluth to Madison to New Mexico. The ladies still gather for monthly working sessions in each others' homes, as well as summer quilt retreats at a cabin near Tomahawk on Crystal Lake.

Private Soldiers: A Year in Iraq with a Wisconsin National Guard Unit
This exhibit honors Wisconsin's participants in the Iraq War and helps viewers understand the conflict's human side. "Private Soldiers" is an exhibit version of a Wisconsin Historical Society Press book of the same name. The exhibit showcases photographs and text provided by three members of the Wisconsin Army National Guard's 2-127th Infantry Battalion. This compelling firsthand documentation chronicles the battalion's yearlong deployment from the unique perspective of the soldiers themselves. Through the candid prose of Capt. Benjamin Buchholz and the vivid camera work of Lt. Nathan Olson and Staff Sgt. Joseph Streeter, "Private Soldiers" captures the experiences of these citizen soldiers from training and deployment to their unique mission to their return to homes, jobs, and families. Their mission took them into the most dangerous regions of Iraq, where they withstood hundreds of attacks, saw dozens wounded, and lost three members killed in action.
