Stein Pieces – This was an evening of short poems, plays and stories by Gertrude Stein, adapted and directed by Frank Galati of Northwestern University. Performers were Lilla Heston of Northwestern, Sandra Singer and Carol Francis of Roosevelt University. The program included Miss Furr and Miss Skeene and As a Wife Has a Cow: A Love Story, among other works.

With the launch of this website, the MCA has created a platform for archiving and publishing images and stories from our 50-plus-year history. Though many exhibition and event pages currently lack descriptions or illustrations, we’re committed to a program of ongoing research that will fill in the blanks over time. If you have information about past MCA exhibitions to share, we’d be delighted to hear from you. There are also gaps in what is shown online, and our Library and Archives are always the most complete record of our history. If you are interested in further information about our exhibitions, performances, events, programs, or anything else, please reach out to us via email.
