SUMMARY:Off Book - The Improvised Musical
DESCRIPTION:Off Book – The Improvised Musical is coming to Madison!

The duo has also written songs and musical sketches for the hit animation show Rick and Morty\, Party Over Here (a Fox sketch show produced by The Lonely Island)\, the Peacock series Pitch Perfect: Bumper In Berlin\, Buzzfeed\, FunnyOrDie and Nickelodeon. Zach and Jess are currently developing TV and Film projects with Amy Poehler’s Paper Kite Productions\, David Wain (The State\, Role Models\, Wanderlust) and Elizabeth Banks’ Brownstone Productions. They also created and starred in Serious Music\, a digital series for ABC.  \nTheir improvised musical podcast Off Book has been praised by various online publications including Indie Wire\, USA Today\, Parade\, AV Club and Splitsider and been featured at Comedy Central’s Clusterfest Festival\, Moontower\, the world renowned Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal\, and the Netflix Is A Joke Festival in LA.

SUMMARY:WI Book Festival Author Event: Stone Age Astronaut (Liam Callanan)
DESCRIPTION:October 17th\n4:30-5:30pm\nCentral Library – Community Room 302 \nPresented in partnership with the Wisconsin Book Festival. \nAward-winning author Liam Callanan uncovers the astonishing life of Lester Maitland—the Milwaukee-born aviator who\, in 1927\, became the first person to fly to Hawaii\, earning national acclaim on par with Charles Lindbergh’s transatlantic triumph. For a brief moment\, the two men shared headlines\, White House invitations\, and fame. But while Lindbergh’s legacy grew\, Maitland’s all but vanished. \nCallanan brings Maitland back into the spotlight\, tracing his meteoric early career: flight instructor at nineteen; one of the US Army’s first test pilots; the first American to fly faster than 200 mph; and the pioneering airman whose Pacific crossing earned him the Distinguished Flying Cross. \nJust twenty-two days after becoming Executive Officer of the Far East Air Service Command—and one day after Pearl Harbor—Maitland witnessed the destruction of much of the Far East Air Force in the Philippines. Later\, he commanded the 386th Bomb Group in Europe\, making him World War II’s oldest bomber pilot\, only to be abruptly and mysteriously retired weeks before D-Day. After the war\, Maitland experienced a series of professional and personal disappointments\, and he quietly faded into obscurity. He eventually became an Episcopal priest\, serving small parishes far from the glamour of his early days in the cockpit. \nThe pages of Stone Age Astronaut hum with the tension and excitement of early aviation\, rendered in a richly detailed narrative and Callanan’s research—spanning archives\, newspapers\, interviews\, and travel to key sites—to reveal the remarkable sweep of Lester Maitland’s world. Along the way\, readers encounter a constellation of notable figures\, including Amelia Earhart\, Billy Mitchell\, Ernest Hemingway\, Gerald Ford\, and Harry Houdini. With sparkling prose and a storyteller’s instinct for detail\, Callanan resurrects a man whose life intersected with major events\, eras\, and personalities—but who has inexplicably slipped through the cracks of American memory. A gripping portrait of ambition\, innovation\, fame\, failure\, and reinvention—and the enduring human urge to fly—Stone Age Astronaut ensures that Lester Maitland’s extraordinary story will no longer be forgotten. \nIn conversation with Jeff Oloizia. \nCheck out more Wisconsin Book Festival & Wisconsin Science Festival partner events here!

SUMMARY:WI Book Festival Author Event: A Womb of One's Own (Tara Mulder)
DESCRIPTION:October 17th\n3-4pm\nMadison Museum of Contemporary Art – Lecture Hall \nPresented in partnership with the Wisconsin Book Festival. \nPresented in partnership with the Wisconsin Science Festival. \nA bold new history of women’s health\, brought to life through ancient women’s stories of pregnancy and birth. \nIn the well-trod history of the Roman Empire\, a pivotal moment has long gone unnoticed: It was in ancient Rome that medical men first set their sights on childbirth\, the traditional domain of female midwives. \nTaking us to the dawn of Western obstetrics\, A Womb of One’s Own offers a feminist account of how\, against a long tradition of midwifery\, male doctors began claiming authority in reproductive matters\, with an emphasis on theoretical rather than practical knowledge. Their intrusion paved the way for the later criminalization of midwives and the cloaking of childbirth in secrecy and shame. \nYet communities of Roman women continued to help each other through the journey from preconception to postpartum\, guided by their own experience and the expertise of midwives. Tara Mulder recovers stories of ancient women living and resisting as they sought autonomy over their bodies and their health. Recounting their experiences in vivid\, intimate detail\, she reveals how old our modern conflicts about birth truly are. \nIn conversation with Kate Phelps. \nCheck out more Wisconsin Book Festival & Wisconsin Science Festival partner events here!

SUMMARY:WI Book Festival Author Event: In Trees (Robert Moor)
DESCRIPTION:October 17th\n1:30-2:30pm\nMadison Museum of Contemporary Art – Lecture Hall \nPresented in partnership with the Wisconsin Book Festival. \nOne day\, on a whim\, Robert Moor set out to climb a tree near his home—unwittingly embarking on what would become a decade-long\, globe-spanning adventure of intellectual and spiritual transformation. Pursuing the hidden wisdom of trees\, he scales to the very top of a giant sequoia while filming a nature documentary with David Attenborough; he treks through swamps in Papua to reach a treehouse-dwelling tribe of hunter-gatherers; and he journeys to a remote research camp in Tanzania\, where he spends a memorable night sleeping in a chimpanzee nest\, seeking to understand our deep evolutionary history. Eventually\, having gained a radical new outlook on both our gnarled past and our ever-branching future\, he joins an intrepid clan of climate activists risking everything to halt construction of a new oil pipeline and save an ancient forest. \nAlong the way\, Moor learns the art of “tree-thinking\,” which\, he discovers\, has the power to break open some of humanity’s oldest questions: What is the secret to truly growing old? How do we set down deeper roots in an increasingly chaotic world? Most importantly\, how should we—as individuals\, as communities\, as stewards of the earth—live? \nA witty and relentlessly curious excursion through philosophy\, history\, and science\, what begins as an ode to the miracle of trees blossoms into a joyous\, daring\, fiercely hopeful endeavor to arborize humanity. \nCheck out more Wisconsin Book Festival & Wisconsin Science Festival partner events here!
