This is Cyndi Marko. 👋
Cyndi is an award-winning author and illustrator of many funny picture books, chapter books, and graphic novels for kids. She is currently a touring artist with the Young Alberta Book Society and her talk at Pecha Kucha Night Vol. 38 will focus on the positive impact that access to Alberta’s literary artists and their works has on children’s literacy. (Fancy way of saying: Meeting Alberta authors is great for kids!) While the purpose of an author visit is to inspire and encourage children to find and use their creative voices, as an author Cyndi can’t help but be inspired and encouraged by the kids in return.

Originally from BC, Cyndi moved to Alberta in 2023, and to Medicine Hat just this spring, but she’s already loving it! When she’s not writing or drawing for kids, Cyndi enjoys reading (obviously), playing D&D, and being bossed around by her two demanding cats.

Join us THIS Saturday, September 19 at 7:30 pm at the Esplanade Arts & Heritage Centre to hear from Cyndi and another line up of amazing storytellers! Doors @ 6:30 pm | cash bar available | suggested donation of $5.

This is Marek Mikunda. 👋
Marek is a Sládek - a Czech Brewmaster. To Marek, brewing is more than a profession - it’s a craft, a tradition, and a way of life. His passion lies in creating authentic Czech b**r and traditional Czech la**rs, respecting time-honoured recipes, carefully selected ingredients, traditional brewing methods, and the patience required to allow a great l***r become what it was meant to be.

That passion comes to life for Marek in his latest venture as Brewmaster at Hell's Basement Brewery - newly reopened with the vision of bringing Czech brewing into a new era while respecting the craft that came before it.

Join us Saturday, September 19 at 7:30 pm at the Esplanade Arts & Heritage Centre to hear from Marek and another line up of amazing storytellers! Doors @ 6:30 pm | cash bar available | suggested donation of $5.

Meet Travis Boser. 👋
Travis will be speaking at Pecha Kucha Night Vol. 38 with a talk entitled, ‘Casting, Chaos, and Curtain Calls.’

If you’ve been to a show at Medicine Hat Musical Theatre in the last few years, then chances are you’ve crossed paths with Travis. When he’s not at his teaching day job, Travis can usually be found at MHMT Playhouse, where he volunteers as a board member, director, actor, and occasional spirit slinger in the bar. You may remember Travis on stage from Sister Act, 12 Angry Men or the radio play version of It’s a Wonderful Life. His directing credits include Mambo Italiano, 9 to 5: The Musical, and most recently POTUS. Using that most recent show as a guideline, Travis will take you through the process of directing community theatre - from the initial idea to the final curtain call.

Join us Saturday, September 19 at 7:30 pm at the Esplanade Arts & Heritage Centre to hear from Travis and a full line-up of amazing storytellers! Doors @ 6:30 pm | cash bar available | suggested donation of $5.

This is Heather Vokes-VanSnick. 👋
Heather will be speaking at Pecha Kucha Night Vol. 38 with a talk entitled, ‘The Power of Thirty Seconds: Finding Humanity in the Increments of Life.’

According to Heather, we tend to measure our lives in big milestones, packed schedules, and grand gestures. But what if the real power to change a life or a community, is hidden in plain sight? Drawing from frontline experience and grassroots advocacy, Heather explores the transformative magic of the 30-second pause and why small choices matter far more than we think.

Heather is a Registered Life Coach, Human Services Supervisor, and grassroots advocate. As the co-founder of The Maven Mockingbird Movement, she works to foster civic engagement, protect community spaces, and amplify local voices. Grounded in frontline experience and personal resilience, Heather is passionate about empowering individuals to practice self-advocacy, cultivate empathy, and transform their lives one micro-moment at a time.

Join us Saturday, September 19 at 7:30 pm at the Esplanade Arts & Heritage Centre to hear this talk and more! Doors @ 6:30 pm | cash bar available | suggested donation of $5.

This is Josh Reimer. 👋
Josh will be speaking at Pecha Kucha Night Vol. 38 with a talk entitled, ‘Electricity 101 - The Magic of Moving Electrons.’

Josh will take us on a journey through time to discover how life on earth has changed from electricity as we've dabbled with this mysterious energy source from antiquity, through the industrial revolution, to our present quickly changing energy mix, and where we're going in the future as more parts of our life are electrified. From making electricity, to moving it around, storing it and understanding why it is central for everyone's life.

Josh has been working in the electric utility industry in Alberta for over 15 years. He's an early solar PV adopter and renewables enthusiast, biker and likes to obsess on how to use our energy more efficiently. Don't ask him about insulation if you're in a hurry.

Join us Saturday, September 19 at 7:30 pm at the Esplanade Arts & Heritage Centre to hear from Josh and a full lineup of incredible speakers! Doors @ 6:30 pm | cash bar available | suggested donation of $5.
