The one-person show was originally produced by TOSOS (“The Other Side of Silence”) a theatre company dedicated to preserving the theatrical heritage of the LGBT community.

SUMMARY:The New Suburbia: How Diversity Remade Suburban Life in Los Angeles after 1945
DESCRIPTION:The conventional story of suburbs as bastions of white\, middle-class homeowners no longer describes the suburbs of America’s cities. Today they house a more typical cross-section of the nation – rich\, poor\, Black American\, Latino\, Asian\, immigrant\, the unhoused\, the lavishly housed\, and everyone in between. Nowhere\, writes historian Becky Nicolaides\, are these changes more vivid than in Los Angeles\, where stories of everyday suburban life have taken on new inflections. Join us for a webinar on February 20 at 6pm ET as Nicolaides discusses her new book\, The New Suburbia: How Diversity Remade Suburban Life in Los Angeles after 1945. Based on a half-century of quantitative data and unpublished oral histories and interviews\, The New Suburbia explores this vital transformation.

SUMMARY:Print Your Own Valentine's Day Card
DESCRIPTION:Hands-on tour that will transport you and your kids into the fascinating world of 19th century sailors. In addition to getting to raise the sail\, the tour will also show the young people in your life how sailors worked and lived aboard a 19th century cargo sailing ship—from the captain to the ship’s officers\, cooks\, and crew.  On your visit\, you will explore the main deck that features the newly restored forecastle\, where the crew bunked; the galley\, where meals were prepared; the saloon\, which acted as the captain’s living room and the ship’s office in port; and the quarterdeck\, where you can man the helm\, turn the ships wheel\, and learn about the capstan. You will also get a look into the vast cargo hold\, which stored bulk cargo on Wavertree’s many journeys to distant ports around the globe during her 24-year sailing career. Advanced registration is required for sail raising tours as space is limited. All children must be accompanied by an adult; maximum four children per adult. Repeated at 2pm and 4pm.

SUMMARY:Amanda Selwyn Dance Theatre Choreography Workshop

Then\, she will guide students to develop short choreographic studies that explore these motifs and add their own nuance\, musicality\, and point of view.

SUMMARY:Mozart Requiem
DESCRIPTION:Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s final composition\, Requiem\, was finished after his death by his student Franz Xaver Süssmayr. According to his wife\, Constanze Mozart\, the ailing composer had come to believe he was writing the piece\, initially commissioned by a German count\, to be played at his own funeral — and indeed some sections were. Requiem was later performed at the funerals and commemorative services of Ludwig van Beethoven\, Joseph Haydn\, and Frédéric Chopin. Centuries later in 1960\, “scraps of paper” containing Mozart’s unrealized ideas were discovered\, prompting new versions of the Requiem. Join us for Robert Levin’s scholarly completion of this celebrated and emotionally stirring choral masterpiece\, featuring Downtown Voices with The Choir of Trinity Wall Street.
