ZIMA! returns
to LongHouse IlluminateD
LongHouse Illuminated: A Magical Winter Experience Step into the enchanted world of LongHouse after dark, where glowing sculptures and light-lined garden paths transform the landscape into a dazzling winter wonderland. Celebrate the beauty of the season with us and experience LongHouse in a way you’ve never seen before! Featuring ZIMA! by The Neo-Political Cowgirls
Welcome back ZIMA!, our annual theatrical adventure presented by the Neo-Political Cowgirls Dance Theater Collective. Directed and produced by Kate Mueth, ZIMA! (Polish for “winter”) is an immersive walk through the beautifully illuminated pathways of LongHouse. Audiences of all ages are invited to explore the gardens as they search for whimsical vignettes of dance, theater, and folklore from diverse cultures. Each discovery along the path reveals a new winter tale, brought to life with poetry, music, and dance. This year’s magical journey takes about 30 minutes, leading you to a cozy art market where you can enjoy treats and holiday cheer. Holiday Market curated by Sunshine:
Keep the holiday spirit alive after your ZIMA! adventure and shop our annual Holiday Market in the Pavilion. Local merchant Heidi Humes of Sunshine has gathered a beautiful selection of local artisans and artists - sure to secure your spot on the “best gift giver” list this season!

community outreach
Our little Free food Pantry
NPC has launched 6 Little Free Food Pantries on the East End. The Neo-Political Cowgirls’ January Girls ally-ship workshop in art and friendship brought our community-building into the full calendar year with our 24/7 “Take what you need, give what you can” Little Free Food Pantries.
These are available for ANYONE to receive from, for free, and/or for anyone to give to.
The Neo-Political Cowgirls could not do our work without the ongoing support of Bill Costello and Men At Work Construction. Always there for us, always sharing their beautiful work. True fabric of our community!
Without major support from the following granting partners, our work would not be possible.
NPC Reviews
Spell-binding & creative
"My whole family loved today's virtual performance of Primavera, as well as the insightful question and answer session that followed.
What an engaging, imaginative, and hope-inspiring way to spend a Saturday evening. I didn't feel like anything was lost through the virtual element -- it was a different (although equally fun!) experience."
– Jessica Bengels
Stepped into a dream
"Truly amazing theater"
