Guthrie Theater Dramaturg Carla Steen recommends stopping by the State Capitol for "Tracks in the Snow," an exhibition of photographs depicting Muslims in Minnesota. Steen says the black and white images — accompanied by statements about each of the subjects — underscore the diversity that exists within a group of people who are often lumped together. On display through May 31 on the third floor of the Capitol building.

Composer and Carleton College professor Andy Flory is headed to Northfield Arts Guild on Saturday to take in some fresh music — and juggling. Composers Patrick Marschke and Andrea Mazzariello will both present new percussion-driven works. In between the two, Josiah Simon will offer a juggling sampler. The event is billed as "three artists grappling with their physical limits, technologically extending their bodies with a variety of tools, musical and otherwise."

Tattoo artist Awen Briem is particularly drawn to art that serves those who are often disenfranchised, so he's looking forward to seeing the first show by Prime Productions, a new theater company that seeks to represent and support women "in their second act" (i.e. over 50). Prime Productions is getting things rolling with "Little Wars," a literary drama that centers around a dinner party at the home of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas in France in 1940. "Little Wars" runs through May 21 at Mixed Blood Theatre in Minneapolis.
