This Saturday, the XYZ Club welcomes Sue Truman, crankie artist from the beloved city of Seattle, Washington.  Mrs. Truman will demonstrate her crankies, otherwise known as moving panoramas, "The Lace Maker" and "The Scottish National Antarctic Expedition, 1902-1904."

"The Lace Maker" chronciles the story of a clairvoyant lace maker living in Quebec in the 19th-century.
"The Scottish National Antarctic Expedition, 1902-1904" is based on William Speirs Bruce's photographs during his time as leader of the 1902 Expedition and the 1907 book "Voyage of The Scotia," written by scientists on board the ship. 

Join Mrs. Truman in a full service, French-inspired dinner after the show and feed your hunger for knowledge on crankies and other forms of 19th-century entertainments. Afterwards, we welcome Lonesome Leash on stage for a one-man act on accordion, drum, vocals and, of course, dessert.
