A grand dame of the theatre is returning to the U.S. for a career-defining comeback after decades abroad. Instead of a warm welcome, she finds herself usurped by a young performer stepping into her most famous role. This collision with a rival challenges her legacy, her politics, and her sense of self… and soon pulls her into a future bright with possibility. Ultimately, the women realize rivalry is not as satisfying as sisterhood. From playwright Pearl Cleage (What Looks Like Crazy On An Ordinary Day), a jubilant meditation on ambition, friendship, and aging gracefully. Only transfer of registrations after Feb 21st. Transportation is on your own. If event is full, please enroll for the waitlist. We will contact you if a space becomes available.

Students will learn mathematical concepts by building, shaping, measuring, sorting, counting, comparing, designing, creating patterns, exploring shapes, and solving problems with clay. Rather than learning mathematics only through worksheets, students experience math as something they can touch, manipulate, visualize, discuss, and use to create. Kindergarten, first-grade, and second-grade students will work with various types of clay, earthenware, polymer, air dry, and oil-based clay to build functional, sculptural, decorative and wearable works of art. Los estudiantes aprenderán conceptos matemáticos mediante actividades con arcilla que implican construir, modelar, medir, clasificar, contar, comparar, diseñar, crear patrones, explorar formas y resolver problemas.
