SUMMARY:James Sears | Queering Rehoboth Beach
DESCRIPTION:Featured Book Signing and Talk \nAbout the Book\n“Create a More Positive Rehoboth” was a decades-long goal for progress and inclusiveness in a charming beach town in southern Delaware. Rehoboth\, which was established in the 19th century as a Methodist Church meeting camp\, has\, over time\, become a thriving mecca for the LGBTQ+ community. In Queering Rehoboth Beach\, historian and educator James Sears charts this significant evolution. \nSears draws upon extensive oral history accounts\, archival material\, and personal narratives to chronicle “the Battle for Rehoboth\,” which unfolded in the late 20th century\, as conservative town leaders and homeowners opposed progressive entrepreneurs and gay activists. He recounts not just the emergence of the gay and lesbian bars\, dance clubs\, and organizations that drew the queer community to the region\, but also the efforts of local politicians and homeowners\, among other groups who fought to develop and protect the traditional identity of this beach town. Moreover\, issues of race\, class\, and gender and sexuality informed opinions as residents and visitors struggled with the AIDS crisis and the legacy of Jim Crow. \nQueering Rehoboth Beach is more than just an inspiring story about a community’s resilience and determination to establish a safe space for itself in the wake of the era of Don’t Ask\, Don’t Tell. It is also a terrific beach read. \nAbout the Author\nJames T. Sears is an independent scholar focusing on Queer History. He is the author or editor of numerous books\, READ MORE

SUMMARY:Mary Alice Monroe | Where the Rivers Merge
DESCRIPTION:Featured Author Signing and Talk \nFrom New York Times bestselling author Mary Alice Monroe comes her highly anticipated Where the Rivers Merge\, the first of two epic and triumphant novels celebrating one intrepid woman’s life across multiple generations in the American South. \n1908: The Lowcountry of South Carolina is at the cusp of change. Mayfield\, the grand estate held for generations by the Rivers family\, is the treasured home of young Eliza. Free spirited\, she refuses to be confined by societal norms. Instead\, Eliza revels in exploring the golden fields and sparkling ponds of Mayfield\, observing wildlife\, and riding horses. \nBut her halcyon days are cut short by the Great War\, coastal storms\, and unexpected challenges to Mayfield. As Eliza battles personal pains and the ravages of family turmoil over the years\, her love and devotion for the natural world puts her on a collision course with the patriarchal traditions of a bygone era. \n1988: At 88\, Eliza is the scion of the Rivers/DeLancey family. She’s fought a lifetime to save her beloved Mayfield and is too independent and committed to quietly retire and leave the fate of the estate to her greedy son. She must make decisions that will assure the future of the land and her family—or watch them both be split apart. \nSet against the evocative landscape of the twentieth-century low country\, Where the Rivers Merge is a dramatic and sweeping multigenerational family story of unyielding love\, lessons learned\, profound sacrifices\, and the indomitable spirit of a woman determined to persevere in the face of change in order to protect her family legacy and the land she loves. \nAbout the Author\nMary Alice Monroe is the New York Times bestselling author of 30 books for adults and children. She has earned numerous accolades READ MORE

SUMMARY:Help with Village Volunteers!!
DESCRIPTION:Share your time\, your skills\, your way.\n  \nIf our members are the Village’s heart\, our volunteers are the Village’s soul.\nThose volunteers give selflessly of their time\, their talents\, and their compassion in order to serve their neighbors and nurture a vibrant community of support for older adults in Sussex County\, Delaware. \n  \nOur volunteers are also incredibly loyal. Many are members themselves. Many have been with the Village since it began operations in 2013. And part of that loyalty is due to the fact that the Village encourages volunteers to choose the services they enjoy and their availability schedule. \nAnd volunteering has its own rewards! In a survey by the United Health Group: \n\n96% of volunteers say their efforts give them a richer sense of purpose in life.\n95% say volunteering makes their community a better place.\n94% say it improves their mood\, and 78% say it lowers their stress levels.\n\nOurs is a proactive\, data-based approach that balances supply and demand through sophisticated demographic mapping. Members can count on volunteers who are reliable neighbors. And volunteers can count on service requests that reflect their own schedules and interests. \nLearn about volunteer opportunities \nAll info and more at the website: https://villagevolunteer.org/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=492141&module_id=148131

SUMMARY:Steel Magnolias
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, 7pm | Saturday\, 7pm | Sunday\, 2pm\nABOUT THE SHOW…\n\nRobert Harling’s Steel Magnolias\, made popular as a movie and stage play\, is both hilarious and touching as it reveals the strength of its characters.\n\n \nDelicate as magnolias but as tough as steel\, Clairee\, Ouiser\, Truvy\, Annelle\, M’Lynn\, and Shelby are gossipy southern ladies in a small-town Louisiana beauty parlor who laugh\, cry\, and teach a thing or two about life and how to live it.\n\n \nThe action of Steel Magnolias is set in Truvy’s beauty salon in Chinquapin\, Louisiana\, where all the ladies who are “anybody” come to have their hair done.\n\n \nHelped by her eager new assistant\, Annelle (who is not sure whether or not she is still married)\, the outspoken\, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon\, Ouiser\, (“I’m not crazy\, I’ve just been in a bad mood for forty years”); an eccentric millionaire\, Miss Clairee\, who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader\, M’Lynn\, whose daughter\, Shelby (the prettiest girl in town)\, is about to marry a “good ole boy.”\n\n \nFilled with hilarious repartee and not a few acerbic but humorously revealing verbal collisions\, the play also draws on the underlying strength—and love—which give the play\, and its characters\, the special quality to make them truly touching\, funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad.\n\n \n – – – – – \n\n\n\nSteel Magnolias is produced through special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service 440 Park Avenue South | New York\, NY 10016 | dpsinfo@broadwaylicensing.com\n\nBUY TICKETS | READ MORE

SUMMARY:Clear Space Theatre presents Spring Awakening
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, 7pm | Friday\, 7pm | Saturday\, 7pm | Sunday\, pm \nBUY TICKETS AND SEE TIMES\nABOUT SHOW \nIn every era\, there comes a moment when the next generation changes the narrative\, rips away the mistakes of the past\, and tries to build a new future on their own terms. When rock and roll icon and Grammy Award winning musician Duncan Sheik adapted Spring Awakening into a groundbreaking musical in 2006\, he created the Hair of a new generation – a powerful celebration of youth\, rebellion\, and teenage self-discovery. The story may be set in late 19th century Germany\, but with its searing ballads and its high energy score\, Spring Awakening’s exploration of desire among a group of young people who have been suppressed\, oppressed\, and dangerously repressed is as powerful and resonant now as ever. \n“Broadway may never be the same.” – New York Times\n“Thrillingly modern… a vital leap forward for the American musical” – Time Out New York \nPresenting Sponsors: Vicki & Jay Allen \nAll pics and info from the website Spring Awakening – Clear Space Theatre

SUMMARY:Science and Society | Intraterrestrials: Discovering the Strangest Life on Earth
DESCRIPTION:Featured Author Talk\nLife thrives in the deepest\, darkest recesses of Earth’s crust—from methane seeps in the ocean floor to the highest reaches of Arctic permafrost—and it is unlike anything seen on the surface. Karen Lloyd\, author of Intraterrestrials: Discovering the Strangest Life on Earth\, draws on her experiences and those of her fellow scientists working in challenging and often dangerous conditions to describe subsurface life that is truly alien: microbes living in environments as extreme as boiling water\, pure acid\, and bleach\, with some of these living cells surviving for hundreds of thousands of years or longer. Their findings are broadening our understanding of what life is\, how its earliest forms may have evolved\, and the prospects of finding life on other planets. \nKaren G. Lloyd is the Wrigley Chair in Environmental Studies and Professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Southern California. Her work has appeared in leading publications such as Nature and Science as well as two TED talks. READ MORE

SUMMARY:Steel Magnolias
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, 7pm | Saturday\, 7pm | Sunday\, 2pm\nABOUT THE SHOW…\n\nRobert Harling’s Steel Magnolias\, made popular as a movie and stage play\, is both hilarious and touching as it reveals the strength of its characters.\n\n \nDelicate as magnolias but as tough as steel\, Clairee\, Ouiser\, Truvy\, Annelle\, M’Lynn\, and Shelby are gossipy southern ladies in a small-town Louisiana beauty parlor who laugh\, cry\, and teach a thing or two about life and how to live it.\n\n \nThe action of Steel Magnolias is set in Truvy’s beauty salon in Chinquapin\, Louisiana\, where all the ladies who are “anybody” come to have their hair done.\n\n \nHelped by her eager new assistant\, Annelle (who is not sure whether or not she is still married)\, the outspoken\, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon\, Ouiser\, (“I’m not crazy\, I’ve just been in a bad mood for forty years”); an eccentric millionaire\, Miss Clairee\, who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader\, M’Lynn\, whose daughter\, Shelby (the prettiest girl in town)\, is about to marry a “good ole boy.”\n\n \nFilled with hilarious repartee and not a few acerbic but humorously revealing verbal collisions\, the play also draws on the underlying strength—and love—which give the play\, and its characters\, the special quality to make them truly touching\, funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad.\n\n \n – – – – – \n\n\n\nSteel Magnolias is produced through special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service 440 Park Avenue South | New York\, NY 10016 | dpsinfo@broadwaylicensing.com\n\nBUY TICKETS | READ MORE

SUMMARY:Clear Space Theatre presents Spring Awakening
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, 7pm | Friday\, 7pm | Saturday\, 7pm | Sunday\, pm \nBUY TICKETS AND SEE TIMES\nABOUT SHOW \nIn every era\, there comes a moment when the next generation changes the narrative\, rips away the mistakes of the past\, and tries to build a new future on their own terms. When rock and roll icon and Grammy Award winning musician Duncan Sheik adapted Spring Awakening into a groundbreaking musical in 2006\, he created the Hair of a new generation – a powerful celebration of youth\, rebellion\, and teenage self-discovery. The story may be set in late 19th century Germany\, but with its searing ballads and its high energy score\, Spring Awakening’s exploration of desire among a group of young people who have been suppressed\, oppressed\, and dangerously repressed is as powerful and resonant now as ever. \n“Broadway may never be the same.” – New York Times\n“Thrillingly modern… a vital leap forward for the American musical” – Time Out New York \nPresenting Sponsors: Vicki & Jay Allen \nAll pics and info from the website Spring Awakening – Clear Space Theatre
