Thursday, April 7th at 6:30 Registration begins March 15th Join the Wild Women Coffee gals as they explore the history of everyone’s favorite hot drink! What regions do coffee beans grow? How do you roast the beans to produce the best coffee flavor? How can you read labels to insure a better cup of joe? They answer all of these questions and more! They finish the program with a blind “cupping” (taste test). Participants are able to taste a selection of coffees and based on their attributes, guess what their regions of origin are. They also will offer a “coffee dessert bar” which features servings of freshly brewed coffee (including decaf), chocolate-bomb coffee (cup of hot coffee with Lindt chocolate truffle dropped in), and gourmet baked goods.   Thursday, March 31st at 6:00pm
It is 1992 and Diana finds herself lost as she tries to drive to the Sandringham Estate to celebrate the holidays with the Royal Family. The cold treatment she receives upon her arrival is only exacerbated by her knowledge of her husband's affair and her acute awareness of the cage she is trapped in. The only bright spot of the supposed holiday is spending time with her sons, William and Harry. As the princess powers through three days of madness, she realizes what her next step should be. 111 min/R. We will have tables and chairs set-up just like an old fashioned dinner theater! You can bring anything from a sandwich, to sushi, to a take-out meal from your favorite restaurant. Limited attendance.  Thursday, March 10th at 6:30
Registration begins February 15th Featured on Connecticut Public Television and in many other venues, this unique duo combines fiddler Jeanne Freeman, whose playing has been described as "effortlessly virtuosic" -- and balladeer/guitarist Dan Ringrose, whose voice has been called “stunning.” Together, they create a knock-out, toe-tapping, and hand clapping musical performance of traditional and original Celtic music interwoven with humor, stories, poetry, and history. Both faculty members at the Connecticut Academy of Irish Music (founded by Jeanne), they have performed widely throughout New England, and love to share their music with all ages.  Thursday, March 3rd at 6:30
Registration begins February 15th Celtic Culture is woven deeply throughout the fabric of America and especially so in the Northeast. The Softer Side of Celtic combines the music, stories and a wee bit of history from Scotland, Ireland and England into a program that will keep your audience on the edge of their seat. There will be singing, laughing, clapping and perhaps a bit of foot stomping. The concerts are interactive; questions and input from the audience are encouraged and become part of the event.  Thursday, March 24th at 6:30
Registration begins March 1st Ruth Bader Ginsburg was an American lawyer and jurist who served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death in September 2020. She was the second woman and the first Jewish woman ever appointed to the Court and became the longest serving Jewish Justice. Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s life continues to be one of achievement: as a lawyer, professor of law, a judge, and then a Supreme Court justice, she stands out because she was not afraid to dissent, disapprove, and disagree with conditions of unfairness and inequality. This show is the inspiring story of how she changed her life—and ours.

Stunning visuals and stories abound!  Thursday, February 24th at 6:00pm
Registration begins February 1st Based on the life and times of Aretha Franklin, the woman who would come to be known all over the world as the undisputed Queen of Soul, this story follows her beginnings back to when she'd first come onto the music scene as a singer in the choir at her father's church when she was a young girl growing up in Detroit. Following many difficulties in her adult life, due to bad marriages and other unwise choices, she still managed to keep contributing her natural talent to the music world, becoming one of the art's most recognizable voices, and producing songs that would be known and enjoyed by many generations. 145min/PG 13. We will have tables and chairs set-up just like an old fashioned dinner theater! You can bring anything from a sandwich, to sushi, to a take-out meal from your favorite restaurant.
