SUMMARY:Getting Unstuck: How To Get Out Of The Way Of Your Art
DESCRIPTION:Join Lisa Lampanelli for an interactive workshop on how to get unstuck and out of your own way to create work that will truly change you. \nIt’s the age-old story: you have something to say\, something to write\, something to share\, but you’re stuck.

Join her for a 2-hour interactive workshop on how to get unstuck and out of your own way to create work that will change you and the people who see it. \nBring something to write with and a willingness to move forward\, and see if the former Queen of Mean can get you to a place of more kindness to yourself. *ONLY 15 SPOTS AVAILABLE* \nBio: With a career that spanned more than 30 years\, Lisa Lampanelli was a constant on the comedy scene.

She has been featured on the Moth Mainstage tour and podcast\, and the Risk! storytelling show and podcast\, and her solo shows\, “Lisa Lampanelli: Big Fat Failure” and “Lisa Lampanelli: Irrelevant!” have helped her and audiences deal with issues she has wrestled with over her years since retirement. \nHer play\, STUFFED\, enjoyed two off-Broadway runs in 2016 and 2017\, and her appearances on the Comedy Central Roasts and the “Tonight Show with Jay Leno” are career highlights.

SUMMARY:Good Girlfriends Book Club: Miss Pearly's Girls
DESCRIPTION:Join the ladies for a night of fun and sisterhood as we discuss Deja’s Pick of Miss Pearly’s Girls by ReShonda Tate Billingsley. \nBorn from our annual Summer Reading Series\, a group of intelligent and humorous women came together to read Kennedy Ryan’s “Skyland Series.” United by their shared love for books and good company\, the Good Girlfriends Book Club was established. \nJoin us on Friday\, July 17th at 6pm as we discuss Deja’s pick\, Miss Pearly’s Girls by ReShonda Tate Billingsley. \nAbout the book: In this captivating family drama from award-winning\, bestselling author ReShonda Tate Billingsley\, four estranged sisters must return to rural Arkansas when their mother is diagnosed with a terminal illness. Their mother wants them to repair their shattered relationships\, but first they’ll have to face the lies and obstacles they’ve worked so hard to leave behind… \nRaising four very different daughters on her own in rural Arkansas wasn’t easy for Miss Pearly Bell. And she’s always regretted that the sisters went their separate ways for good—and never wanted to see each other again. But when Pearly is stricken with a terminal illness\, she summons them all home—determined to somehow help them get right with each other and forgive…But that means dealing with past secrets and lies first. \nAs the oldest sister\, pastor’s wife Maxine took her responsibility way too seriously—and never fails to judge everyone else. But a secret she can no longer keep will explode everything she stands for. Youngest sister Leslie is all about making a very different life with her new love—but she didn’t expect a shattering past truth to be suddenly revealed and uproot everything she ever thought she knew. Elegant PR professional Stella and her earthy twin\, Star\, don’t see eye-to-eye on anything—and now a long-ago deception could wipe out their last chance at a relationship. \nSoon each sister must confront the illusions they’ve taken refuge in for so long and deal with each other woman-to-woman. But can building an all-too-fragile trust repair the damage done—and help them come together when they are needed most?

SUMMARY:P.T. Barnum: Before the Circus\, Before the Fame\, Before the Legend
DESCRIPTION:Every legend has an origin story. As part of Connecticut’s America 250 celebration\, this program explores the childhood influences that helped transform a curious Connecticut boy into one of America’s most recognizable figures. \nBorn in Bethel\, Connecticut\, on July 5\, 1810\, Phineas Taylor Barnum spent his formative years in the small farming community that would help shape his imagination\, ambition\, and entrepreneurial spirit. Join the Barnum Museum and Bethel Town Historian Patrick Wild as we return to Barnum’s earliest years to explore the family\, people\, places\, and experiences that influenced the future showman. Through local stories\, historical records\, and insights into early nineteenth-century Bethel\, discover how the lessons Barnum learned as a boy – including the whimsical influence of his grandfather Phineas Taylor\, his earliest business ventures\, and his reverence for the democratic ideals of a young and emerging nation – helped lay the foundation for the man who would become America’s Greatest Showman and leave an enduring mark on American culture and entertainment. \nAdmission\nFree admission – Donations welcome in support of the Barnum Museum
