October16th: An Adult evening with Shel Silverstein
An Adult Evening of Shel Silverstein is a collection of ten darkly comic, short plays by the beloved children's author Shel Silverstein, first published in 2003. The plays feature his signature wordplay and whimsical style but explore adult themes like prostitution, homelessness, and violence, often with a sinister or explicit edge. The collection is intended for an adult audience and showcases the raunchy and sinister side of Silverstein's personality, using clever wordplay to expose the underbelly of American culture.

Dec 18th: A Long Christmas Ride Home by Paula Vogel

play about a dysfunctional American family's disastrous Christmas Eve road trip to the grandparents' house, which is revisited in the present through the use of Bunraku-style puppets and memory.

Feb 12th: Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf- Edward Albee

History professor George and his boozy wife, Martha return late one Saturday night from a cocktail party at the home of the college president, Martha's father. Martha announces that she invited another couple, newly appointed instructor Nick and his timid wife, Honey over for a nightcap. When the younger couple arrive, the night erupts into a no-holds-barred torrent of marital angst and verbal tirades.

April 16th Top Girls: Caryl Churchill's Top Girls (1982) is a seminal play exploring women's success, sacrifice, and the complexities of feminism in the early Thatcher era. It opens with a surreal dinner party where Marlene, a newly promoted executive, hosts historical and fictional female figures, setting the stage for a nonlinear narrative that contrasts the lives of women in the 1980s with those from the past. The play questions the cost of ambition, the nature of female solidarity, and whether the gains of feminism have truly benefited all women.

June 18th:
Fat Pig is a 2004 play by American playwright Neil LaBute that explores themes of body image, societal pressure, and personal cowardice through the story of Tom, a man who falls for a plus-size woman named Helen. When Tom's shallow friends and co-workers mock Helen, he struggles to defend their relationship, forcing him to confront his own prejudices and the superficial standards of beauty. The play, which premiered off-Broadway in 2004, is a sharp critique of societal ideals and questions our ability to overcome personal biases.

August 13th: Evelyn in Purgatory-
A Breakfast Club for teachers!

When a complaint is filed against one of the 70,000 teachers in New York’s public schools, they’re sent to a Reassignment Center, one of a series of empty offices in the Department of Education Building. There, they sit and wait for their case to be reviewed. Usually for months. Sometimes for over a year.
A claim of improper behavior by a failing student lands Evelyn Reid in “the rubber room,” where she encounters a group of teachers, some guilty, some not, who have long since lost any hope of returning to a classroom.
Over the course of the school year, these colleagues form an unlikely alliance, reminding each other of forgotten passions, emerging to face life outside in unexpected new directions. They also learn French and workshop a screenplay.

"The Devil and Miss Prym” (A Novel of Temptation) by Paulo Coelho, author of “The Alchemist”.

A novel set in a small village about a young, poor barmaid whose wager with the devil leads to a spiritual transformation. A stranger arrives at the remote village of Viscos, carrying with him a backpack containing a notebook and eleven gold bars. He comes searching for the answer to a question that torments him: Are human beings, in essence, good or evil? In welcoming the mysterious foreigner, the whole village becomes an accomplice to his sophisticated plot, which will forever mark their lives. A novel of temptation, The Devil and Miss Prym is a thought-provoking parable of a community devoured by greed, cowardice, and fear—as it struggles with the choice between good and evil.

Whether it is a bold brushstroke on a canvas, the brave chisel strike into stone, or the gentle shaping hands of a potter, art in all its forms not only brings beauty and emotion into to our lives yet most importantly gives us pause for contemplation along with space to reflect on the meaning of life. If the beauty within you is captivated by art and the lives of the artists that create then this book discussion may be for you.

Leonardo da Vinci wrote “painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen” join us as we read, discuss, and explore a mix of historical fiction, biographies, and memoirs of art and artists from around the world.

Millions of people climb the grand marble staircase to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art every year. But only a select few have unrestricted access to every nook and cranny. They’re the guards who roam unobtrusively in dark blue suits, keeping a watchful eye on the two million square foot treasure house. Caught up in his glamourous fledgling career at The New Yorker, Patrick Bringley never thought that he’d be one of them. Then his older brother was diagnosed with fatal cancer and he found himself needing to escape the mundane clamor of daily life. So he quit The New Yorker and sought solace in the most beautiful place he knew.

To his surprise and your delight, this temporary refuge becomes Bringley’s home away from home for a decade. We follow him as he guards delicate treasures from Egypt to Rome, strolls the labyrinths beneath the galleries, wears out nine pairs of company shoes, and marvels at the beautiful works in his care. Bringley enters the museum as a ghost, silent and almost invisible, but soon finds his voice and his tribe: the artworks and their creators and the lively subculture of museum guards—a gorgeous mosaic of artists, musicians, blue-collar stalwarts, immigrants, cutups, and dreamers. As his bonds with his colleagues and the art grow, he comes to understand how fortunate he is to be walled off in this little world, and how much it resembles the best aspects of the larger world to which he gradually, gratefully returns.

September 11th
If you are introspective with a desire for personal growth, then this book discussion may be for you. Finding the balance between the need for self-improvement and accepting oneself as whole is a challenge throughout life’s twists and turns; creating space to explore this juxtaposition is the purpose of this group.

To quote Rilke, if you are willing to “go within and scale the depths of your being from which your very life springs forth” then join us as we discuss a variety of personal development and psychology-based selections.

If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated with where you are, the problem isn't you. The problem is the power you give to other people. Two simple words—Let Them—will set you free. Free from the opinions, drama, and judgments of others. Free from the exhausting cycle of trying to manage everything and everyone around you. The Let Them Theory puts the power to create a life you love back in your hands—and this book will show you exactly how to do it.

In her latest groundbreaking book, The Let Them Theory, Mel Robbins—New York Times bestselling author and one of the world's most respected experts on motivation, confidence, and mindset—teaches you how to stop wasting energy on what you can't control and start focusing on what truly matters: YOU. Your happiness. Your goals. Your life.

Using the same no-nonsense, science-backed approach that's made The Mel Robbins Podcast a global sensation, Robbins explains why The Let Them Theory is already loved by millions and how you can apply it in eight key areas of your life to make the biggest impact. Within a few pages, you'll realize how much energy and time you've been wasting trying to control the wrong things—at work, in relationships, and in pursuing your goals—and how this is keeping you from the happiness and success you deserve.

Written as an easy-to-understand guide, Robbins shares relatable stories from her own life, highlights key takeaways, relevant research and introduces you to world-renowned experts in psychology, neuroscience, relationships, happiness, and ancient wisdom who champion The Let Them Theory every step of the way.

If you are introspective with a desire for personal growth, then this book discussion may be for you. Finding the balance between the need for self-improvement and accepting oneself as whole is a challenge throughout life’s twists and turns; creating space to explore this juxtaposition is the purpose of this group.

To quote Rilke, if you are willing to “go within and scale the depths of your being from which your very life springs forth” then join us as we discuss a variety of personal development and psychology-based selections.

“Conventional wisdom,” says Roger Housden, “tells us that nobody goes to heaven for having a good time.” Seven Sins for a Life Worth Living, then, is a refreshing, liberating, and decidedly welcome dose of unconventional wisdom that awakens us to the simple delights and transformative joys of the world around us.

With elegance, gentle humor, and remarkable openness, Housden takes us along as he recalls his personal journey toward an appreciation of what he calls the Seven Pleasures: The Pleasure of All Five Senses, The Pleasure of Being Foolish, The Pleasure of Not Knowing, The Pleasure of Not Being Perfect, The Pleasure of Doing Nothing Useful, The Pleasure of Being Ordinary, and The Pleasure of Coming Home.

Housden writes, for instance, of submitting to the ultimate folly of falling in love, of celebrating our imperfections, of coming to understand the virtues of the Slow Food movement while enjoying an all-afternoon lunch in a small French village, and of discovering in a Saharan cave that, however extraordinary our surroundings, “we are human, a glorious nothing much to speak of”—and learning to be at peace with the notion.

Such pleasures may be suspect in today’s achievement-driven, tightly scheduled, relent-lessly self-improving, conspicuously consumptive culture, but surely the greater sin lies in letting them slip away moment by precious moment. “The purpose of this book,” says Housden, “is to inspire you to lighten up and fall in love with the world and all that is in it.” Reading it is a pleasure indeed.

Whether it is a bold brushstroke on a canvas, the brave chisel strike into stone, or the gentle shaping hands of a potter, art in all its forms not only brings beauty and emotion into to our lives yet most importantly gives us pause for contemplation along with space to reflect on the meaning of life. If the beauty within you is captivated by art and the lives of the artists that create then this book discussion may be for you.

Leonardo da Vinci wrote “painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen” join us as we read, discuss, and explore a mix of historical fiction, biographies, and memoirs of art and artists from around the world.

The Love Lives of the Artists tells the stories of Rainer Maria Rilke and Lou Andreas–Salomé, Alfred Stieglitz and Georgia O'Keeffe, Jean–Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, Diego and Frida, and Henry Miller and Anaïs Nin—five couples who approached their relationships with the same rebellious creativity as they practiced in their art. From their early artistic development and their first experiences in love, to their artistic marriages and their affairs—and then to their fights and reconciliations, addictions, nervous breakdowns and continued creativity—The Love Lives of the Artists describes the promise and the price of freedom and creativity in love.

July 10th
If you are introspective with a desire for personal growth, then this book discussion may be for you. Finding the balance between the need for self-improvement and accepting oneself as whole is a challenge throughout life’s twists and turns; creating space to explore this juxtaposition is the purpose of this group.

To quote Rilke, if you are willing to “go within and scale the depths of your being from which your very life springs forth” then join us as we discuss a variety of personal development and psychology-based selections.

Trauma does not just happen to a few unlucky people; it is the bedrock of our psychology. Death and illness touch us all, but even the everyday sufferings of loneliness and fear are traumatic. In The Trauma of Everyday Life renowned psychiatrist and author of Thoughts Without a Thinker Mark Epstein uncovers the transformational potential of trauma, revealing how it can be used for the mind’s own development.

Western psychology teaches that if we understand the cause of trauma, we might move past it while many drawn to Eastern practices see meditation as a means of rising above, or distancing themselves from, their most difficult emotions. Both, Epstein argues, fail to recognize that trauma is an indivisible part of life and can be used as a lever for growth and an ever deeper understanding of change. When we regard trauma with this perspective, understanding that suffering is universal and without logic, our pain connects us to the world on a more fundamental level. The way out of pain is through it.

“True belonging doesn’t require us to change who we are. It requires us to be who we are.” Social scientist Brené Brown, PhD, LMSW, has sparked a global conversation about the experiences that bring meaning to our lives - experiences of courage, vulnerability, love, belonging, shame, and empathy. In Braving the Wilderness, Brown redefines what it means to truly belong in an age of increased polarization. With her trademark mix of research, storytelling, and honesty, Brown will again change the cultural conversation while mapping a clear path to true belonging.
