​Tomato Pie: The Frank Pepe Story
Thursday, January 9th at 6:30
Registration begins January 2nd
Author Talk with Joanna Kelly About the book In her richly textured chronicle, Joanna Kelly delivers a historic account of Frank Pepe and the pizza-centric street he made famous in New Haven, Connecticut. In this celebration of the life of America's pizza pioneer, she shares the rags to riches story of Frank Pepe, an illiterate immigrant from the Amalfi Coast in Italy. Using his mother's recipes, Pepe made his first pizza without mozzarella and called it tomato pie. In 1925, Pepe began selling his pies from a push cart on the streets of New Haven. In 1937, he mastered his culinary destiny when he opened Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana on historic Wooster Street. The first pizzeria in Connecticut and one of the first in the United States, the award-winning Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana has expanded into ten restaurants, from New York to Rhode Island.

BYOD and a Movie: The Kitchen
Thursday, December 19th at 6:00pm

The gritty, female-driven mob drama “The Kitchen,” from New Line Cinema and BRON Creative, was written and directed by Andrea Berloff, who was nominated for an Oscar for the original screenplay for “Straight Outta Compton.” “The Kitchen” stars Oscar nominee Melissa McCarthy (“Can You Ever Forgive Me?” “Bridesmaids”), Tiffany Haddish (“Girls Trip”), and Elisabeth Moss (“The Handmaid’s Tale”) as three 1978 Hell’s Kitchen housewives whose mobster husbands are sent to prison by the FBI. Left with little but a sharp ax to grind, the ladies take the Irish mafia’s matters into their own hands—proving unexpectedly adept at everything from running the rackets to taking out the competition…literally. Rated R/100 Min.

Two-Part Meditation Workshop!

11/1/2019

 
Two Part Meditation Workshop
Thursday, December 5th and 12th at 6:30
Registration begins November 15th

 “I should probably meditate more.” You know that meditation produces a wild array of beneficial results for regular practitioners. Maybe you even meditate regularly, but haven’t found the joy and inspiration that makes you want to meditate every day. It’s hard to do something when you don’t want to do it. Even when you know it’s good for you. Meditation has become widely known and accepted for relaxation, emotional, mental, and health benefits all over the world. But did you know there is more to it? The “more” is the very thing that might be keeping you from doing it, simply because you don’t know what’s missing! This workshop takes a hands-on look at the technology of meditation. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate regardless of experience or background.

"Helter Skelter: Heresay or History?"

Registration begins November 15th
​

On the 50th anniversary of the Manson murders, History educator, Patrick Richardson, takes a look back at one of the most shocking events in U.S. history. Despite popular perception of the murders, questions remain concerning the motivations for the murders and the culpability of the principal actors. The murders continue to have a profound impact upon U.S. culture, evidenced through pop culture references, endless television documentaries, and the recent release of Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood."
