In Search of Spontaneity: A Writing Workshop with Lara Mimosa Montes

Join Lanesboro Arts and BIPOC Artist Residency Artist-in-Residence, Lara Mimosa Montes for a free, all stages writing workshop at the St. Mane Theatre Second Floor Studio starting at 6 pm on Wednesday, May 13th! In this generative and process-focused writing workshop, we’ll read poems that invite the fledglings in us to take a seat at the table. We’ll collectively embark on writing activities that court naïveté and spontaneity in an attempt to become a little—or a lot—less inhibited in our creative pursuits. Participants will be invited, though not required, to share the results of some of their experiments during session. This workshop is about embracing a beginner mind at any stage in a creative life. Participants can expect to write in between and across genres, moving between poetry and prose, while embracing accident and experiment over mastery and perfection. Writers of all genres and skill levels are welcome. Participants must be at least 18 years old. While this workshop is free, prior registration is encouraged to help us plan for the event register now at the link above! About the Artist: Lara Mimosa Montes is the author of The Time of the Novel (Wendy’s Subway, 2025). Previous books include THRESHOLES (Coffee House Press, 2020) and The Somnambulist (Horse Less Press, 2016). Lara holds a PhD in English from The Graduate Center, City University of New York. She teaches in XE: Experimental Humanities and Social Engagement Master’s program at NYU.

"No Matter What You Tell Me" by Benjamin Boucvalt

Lanesboro Arts is excited to present “No Matter What You Tell Me” an original play written and performed by Benjamin Boucvalt at the St. Mane Theatre on Saturday, May 16th, 2026 at 7:00 pm! Tickets are on sale now for $25 General Admission, $22 Lanesboro Arts Members. A truly gripping night of storytelling that dives deep into the heart of human connection and forgiveness, No Matter What You Tell Me is a years-long journey of a son searching for the truth about his family, while believing them incapable of doing wrong. Uncovering a family secret about his late uncle sets off a chain of events that brings him face to face with his own foundations, forcing him to wrestle with everything he’s been taught to believe. Hilarious, heartbreaking, and fiercely hopeful, this powerful story leads from one secret into another. A story that proves how family is fraught, never really what it appears, and, despite it all, so very necessary. Benjamin Boucvalt has spent most of his career on stage doing classical work. He performed as a resident company member at Great River Shakespeare Festival continuously for the past 13 years. Notable performances include As You Like It/Orlando, Julius Caesar/Cassius, Midsummer/Oberon, Winter’s Tale/Leontes, Cymbeline/Iachimo, and Romeo and Juliet/Romeo. Other theatres Benjamin has worked with include the Asolo Repertory Theatre, Playmakers Repertory Company, St. Petersburg Shakespeare Company, and the Orlando Shakespeare Theater. Benjamin’s latest book, “The Name Hennessy,” was published in 2024. He voices one of the main characters in the audiobook that was also released that same year. It is a fully dramatized audiobook, with individual actors reading each character, all recorded together on stage. Benjamin is also an active martial artist and does fight choreography for stage and film across the country.
