Featuring a sneak preview screening of his new six-part documentary series, THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, plus a fireside conversation with Ken Burns, along with co-director David Schmidt, and film advisor\/historian, Alan Taylor. Moderated by The Atlantic's Vann R. Newkirk.\n\nTHE AMERICAN REVOLUTION examines how America’s founding turned the world upside-down.\n\nThirteen British colonies on the Atlantic Coast rose\u202fin rebellion, won their independence, and established a new form of government that radically reshaped the continent and inspired centuries of democratic movements around the globe.\n\nAn expansive look at the virtues and contradictions of the war and the birth of the United States of America, the film follows dozens of figures from a wide variety of backgrounds. Through their individual stories, viewers experience the war through the memories of the men and women who experienced it: the rank-and-file Continental soldiers and American militiamen (some of them teenagers), Patriot political and military leaders, British Army officers, American Loyalists, Native soldiers and civilians, enslaved and free African Americans, German soldiers in the British service, French and Spanish allies, and various civilians living in North America, Loyalist as well as Patriot, including many made refugees by the war.\n\nThe Revolution began a movement for people around the world to imagine new and better futures for themselves, their nations, and for humanity. It declared American independence with promises that we continue to strive for. The American Revolution opened the door to advance civil liberties and human rights, and it asked questions that we are still trying to answer today.\n\nThe American Revolution was at once a war for independence, a civil war, and a world war. It impacted millions – from Canada to the Caribbean and beyond. Few escaped its violence.\n\n\n\n\n","media_file_type":"img","media_file_placeholder":null,"media_file_name":"https:\/\/www.mccawhall.com\/assets\/img\/An-Evening-with-Ken-Burns_2025_brand-0e9d93329c.jpg","media_link":"https:\/\/www.mccawhall.com\/events\/detail\/an-evening-with-ken-burns","ticket_link":"Buy Tickets<\/a>","event_date":"Jul<\/span> 14<\/span>, 2025<\/span>","promos":"home featured","event_time":"7:30pm","media_thumb":"https:\/\/www.mccawhall.com\/assets\/img\/An-Evening-with-Ken-Burns_2025_thumb-a9f7e05129.jpg","category":{"name":"Other","id":"0"}},{"media_title":"Louis C.K.: Ridiculous","media_tagline":"","event_body":"Louis C.K. is a six-time Emmy Award and three-time Grammy Award winner.

Finally, this dynamic production brings a national masterpiece to life. Rendered in vivid blue-green mineral pigments and created by the prodigious 18-year-old artist, Wang Ximeng, the original scroll remains an emblem of classical Chinese aesthetics and artistic transcendence.\n\nThrough a lyrical, time-traversing narrative, the drama follows a modern cultural historian who journeys back nine centuries to meet the young artist. Together, they illuminate the creative odyssey behind the painting. Structured in seven poetic chapters—Unfolding the Scroll, Inquiring into Seals, Chanting Silk, Seeking Stones, Practicing Brushwork, Preparing Ink, and Merging with the Painting—the performance becomes a profound meditation on the devotion, ingenuity, and artistic legacy of ancient creators. It is, above all, a reverent homage to the universal spirit of craftsmanship, artistry and cultural continuity.\n\nAn Aesthetic Offering from the East to the World\n\nLauded as a “pinnacle of Chinese aesthetics,” The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting premiered in 2021 at Beijing’s National Centre for the Performing Arts and rose to international prominence following its captivating “Green Waist” performance during the 2022 Spring Festival Gala. In fewer than four years, it has garnered over 700 sold-out performances, celebrated for its exquisite synthesis of stagecraft—costume design, scenic composition, hairstyling, musicality, and choreography—all meticulously attuned to traditional Chinese artistic sensibilities.\n\nRooted in the refined culture of the Song Dynasty—often regarded as the “Eastern Renaissance”—the production evokes an era where humanism, artistic elegance, and intellectual exploration flourished. More than a visual spectacle, the drama presents a living philosophy: a vision of harmony between humanity and nature, simplicity and sophistication, daily life and poetic imagination. These themes, eternal and borderless, continue to resonate with contemporary audiences across the globe.\n\n \n\n\n","media_file_type":"img","media_file_placeholder":null,"media_file_name":"https:\/\/www.mccawhall.com\/assets\/img\/Journey-of-a-Legendary-Painting_2025_brand-0abefcb491.jpg","media_link":"https:\/\/www.mccawhall.com\/events\/detail\/the-journey-of-a-legendary-landscape-painting","ticket_link":"Buy Tickets<\/a>","event_date":"Jul<\/span> 25 - 26<\/span>, 2025<\/span>","promos":"home featured","media_thumb":"https:\/\/www.mccawhall.com\/assets\/img\/Journey-of-a-Legendary-Painting_2025_thumb-35cc62e22c.jpg","category":{"name":"Other","id":"0"}},{"media_title":"The Rose","media_tagline":"Once Upon A WRLD","event_body":"The Rose (\ub354 \ub85c\uc988) is a Korean alt-pop indie band made up of four talented members: vocalist and guitarist Woosung, vocalist\/multi-instrumentalist Dojoon, bassist Jaehyeong, and drummer Hajoon.\n\nTheir upcoming album, WRLD, promises to blend familiar early sounds with fresh sonic landscapes and genres.
