SUMMARY:🎭 "Something Rotten" presented by The RMHS Drama Club
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Renaissance and the outrageous\, crowd-pleasing musical farce\, Something Rotten. Created by Grammy Award-winning songwriter Wayne Kirkpatrick\, and successful screenwriters Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell\, Something Rotten was lauded by audience members and critics alike\, receiving several Best Musical nominations and hailed by Time Out New York as “the funniest musical comedy in at least 400 years”. \nSet in the 1590s\, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as “The Bard.” When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing\, dancing and acting at the same time\, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night\, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self\, and all that jazz. \nSomething Rotten features large song and dance numbers\, and a wacky cast of over-the-top characters\, each given his or her own special moment in the show to shine. Throughout its Broadway run\, the musical received a show-stopping standing ovation from audiences… in the beginning of the first act!

SUMMARY:🎸 Bobby Jo Valentine Performs at Old South Coffee House
DESCRIPTION:Come to Old South on October 29th at 7 pm for coffee and folk music in a cozy fall concert performed by folk singer Bobby Jo Valentine. Tickets will be $12 and will include coffee.  There will also be a dessert bar bake sale! Valentine’s music has won Song of the Year three times at the West Coast Songwriters Association\, and his songs have appeared on radio\, TV\, and feature films.  He has performed artist residencies\, hosting songwriting workshops\, and been involved in helping communities of all types use their spaces and voice in more creative\, powerful ways.  Old South is delighted to host him for the evening on his New England Fall Music Tour. \nBobby Jo’s music exists outside the lines of any genre\, but the music’s thoughtful spirit focused lyrics and catchy melodies reach listeners across all walks of life. The poetic nature and spiritual focus of his stories and songs has resulted in notable awards and a growing loyal following around the country.  He has found a voice with original\, hopeful songs about the gentle everyday spiritual awakenings of an openhearted life. \nOld South’s Coffee House will begin at 7 pm. Tickets are $12 ($30/family) and will be available at the door\, or online at OldSouthUMC.org.  Old South United Methodist Church is located at 6 Salem Street in Reading — the white church with the beautiful steeple and clock tower at the top of the town common. We are so excited that Bobby Jo has chosen to tour at  Old South — and that we have the opportunity to hear such great music in our space.  This is a family-friendly event – open to everyone in a venue where sitting still is not necessary!

SUMMARY:🕊️ On Being a Second Generation Holocaust Survivor: The Importance of Keeping the Legacy Alive
DESCRIPTION:2023 marks the 85th anniversary of Kristallnacht\, the Night of Broken Glass\, on which the Nazis coordinated systematic attacks against Jews throughout Germany. In consideration of this anniversary and the uptick of antisemitic incidents worldwide\, The Reading Public Library is honored to welcome Gayle Saks\, whose family was directly affected by Nazi persecution. After four of her older siblings were deported to a Belgian concentration camp\, Gayle’s mother\, Fadja Wittelsohn\, hid for two years in the basement of a private residence in Bruxelles. Her view of the world was limited to feet walking past the one window they had\, where they lived in constant fear of being found. \nGayle discusses the importance of telling her mother’s story while navigating though the sensitive and complicated terrain of passing the torch as the keeper of this critical piece of cultural history. \nNo registration required. Use the link provided below for additional information on the program.
