It Can’t Happen Here – Free Informal Readers Theater
Join a group of semi-theater people in an informal reading of the play “It Can’t Happen Here” adapted from Sinclair Lewis’ book written almost 90 years ago. Audience Participation guaranteed. A fun and challenging event with no admission charge.
This is a Historical, Political, and Dynamic work by a Nobel Prize winning author from the area. We recommend parents of children 13 or younger consider their child’s maturity and curiosity about the subject matter before attending.

Legal and Logistical Information:
All children 6 and over are welcome.
If your child is disabled and would have a better time with some accommodations – contact us so we can work to provide them with the access they need. We love the diverse world of disability, so don’t be shy.
We use non-toxic supplies in case they get on kids skin – but we do use small items and some supplies should not be ingested, so this class is not appropriate for children who are still prone to eating art supplies.
Crochet and Knit Night
Bring your own project or just come and learn! This is a time to relax, enjoy a nice tea or coffee, hang out with others, learn from each other, and make some progress on that project that you’ve been dreaming of finishing (or even starting!). An experienced Crocheter will be on hand to help you if needed, or you can bring your skills and help others.
