The cast from Roxy’s 2023 production is BACK for another run of The Play That Goes Wrong!

The thespian troupe of Cornley University is putting on a production of The Murder at Haversham Manor and you’re invited. If only they had a few more weeks of rehearsals. From dropped lines to dropped set pieces, by the end everything (and everyone) will drop at least once.

Glass in Flight 2
Sunday, July 13
Botanica Wichita

People often want to know what inspired me create this joyful, large-scale steel and glass sculpture exhibit. Mainly I am responding to the concept of "entomophilia' — the love of insects- particularly pollinators, without which the Earth we know would not exist. If my exhibit can foster a deeper understanding of insects, birds and other animals and how we all co-exist, then the time and hard work I dedicated to the making of Glass in Flight 2 will have been worthwhile."

- Artist, Alex Heveri
 

Nestled in the heart of Wichita, amidst lush greenery, vibrant trees, peaceful streams and bodies of water, and stunning blooms, Glass in Flight 2 by Alex Heveri comes to Botanica—not just a collection of striking outdoor sculptures—but a story of transformation and beauty.
 

Glass in Flight 2, a collection that embraces the role of pollinators and celebrates the intersection of art and nature. The sculptures were carefully designed and crafted, each one a masterpiece of vibrant, kiln-fired glass and metalwork. Her work captures intricate details of wings, dynamic movement, and the relationship of color and light.
 

"It is an honor to exhibit Glass in Flight 2 at Botanica.  The Wichita Gardens is so rich in color and in clear, Plains sunlight, that the sculptures will dazzle and appear "alive."

- Artist, Alex Heveri

Strategically placed throughout the Gardens, the sculptures create moments of surprise and delight. Large-scale luminous dragonflies, vibrant butterflies, playful hummingbirds, and much more serve as a visual reminder of the intricate connection between art, science, and the natural world, sparking curiosity in visitors of all ages.
 

“It is more than a collection of sculptures—in every flutter of light and color, Glass in Flight 2 invites us to dream and take flight in our own way,” said Dr. Zimmerman.
 

For a limited-time, Glass in Flight 2 will become a treasured part of the Gardens—a symbol of the harmony between Wichita’s natural beauty and its innovative spirit. This exhibition is included in general admission and is free to members.
