SUMMARY:Lightbeam Players Present Conversations at a Dead Man’s Grave
DESCRIPTION:The Lightbeam Players present Conversations at a Dead Man’s Grave\, a 1-hour play for ages 10 and up. \nWhile visiting her brother’s grave on the one-year anniversary of his disappearance\, May Thompson meets a strange girl named Sage who claims to be her half-sister.  But May has never met her before!

As May begins to unravel the mystery of what happened to her brother\, things begin to take a turn\, and it soon seems you might not be able to trust the things that go on in your very own head. \nWith this production\, Lightbeam Players\, a theatre company run by kids\, for kids\, is debuting its first teen-led production. Best of all\, it’s entirely free and requires no registration. \nFor more information\, please contact Theresa at theresaw@dkpl.org or at (815) 756-9568 ext. 3350.

SUMMARY:Pros at the Pick: Jessi Haish LaRue
DESCRIPTION:Join the NIU Pick Museum of Anthropology for coffee and conversation at Pros at the Pick — a space to make connections and gain insight about what really goes on in museums. This spring we are excited to feature Jessi Haish LaRue\, the Executive Director of the J.F. Glidden Homestead & Historical Center in DeKalb. \nJessi is proving that history can be innovative\, community-powered\, and anything but dusty. Leading the organization since 2022\, she brings a creative\, forward-looking approach to the birthplace of “The Winner” barbed wire—home to two National Register of Historic Places buildings. An eighth-generation DeKalb County resident and descendant of barbed wire baron Jacob Haish\, Jessi’s connection to local history is both deeply personal and future-focused. With a journalism background from Kishwaukee College and Northern Illinois University\, she pairs strong storytelling with strategic vision\, guiding a lean operation of one part-time staff member and a dedicated volunteer team\, funded entirely by donations. Under her leadership\, the Homestead has expanded programming\, fundraising\, and public engagement\, including the launch of Barbed Wire Weekend in 2024 celebrating the 150th anniversary of Joseph F. Glidden’s patent\, and earning a 2026 DeKalb Chamber of Commerce Nonprofit of the Year nomination.
