As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States, we reflect on the history that has shaped our nation. Join us as Evan Banks explores Revolutionary Revels. The American revolution was, arguably, more-or-less born in taverns and public houses. Would the revolution have happened without it? While we can never answer this question definitively, evidence suggests that revolutionary markets, people, and ideas were largely under the influence of these potent potables. This talk will explore usage, changing attitudes, and importance of alcohol around the time of The War for American Independence.

Light beverages and snacks will be served.

Reader's Theater Camp - 10 Ways to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse. 

A Reader's Theater is a low-stress approach to acting. It takes the stress of memorizing your lines out of the equation and gives you the opportunity to put more of your attention on the way that you are carrying yourself and how you are delivering your lines. 

This year, we will be putting on the short play 10 Ways to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse. The public will be welcome to view the performance on Saturday, August 8th at 1PM.
