SUMMARY:All Things Equal
DESCRIPTION:All Things Equal\nThe Life & Trials of Ruth Bader Ginsburg \nSupreme Court Justice “RBG” welcomes a friend of the family to her cozy chambers to convey\, over the course of ninety fascinating and often funny minutes\, a sense of her life and its many trials: losing her mother the day before she graduated as valedictorian of her Brooklyn high school … being one of only nine young women studying law at Harvard while also raising a daughter and helping her husband battle cancer … fighting for women’s rights in the nineteen-seventies before condescending all-male courts … and taking courageous stands for human rights as a voice of reason amid a splintering and increasingly politicized Supreme Court. An evening with a great and compassionate icon of straight-thinking American justice emerges … an RBG who is not only “notorious” but victorious as she takes a stand for ordinary people facing the many challenges of a changing world. Bring your scrunchies\, your hankies\, your humor and your heart to this entertaining and uplifting event! \nWritten by Tony Award-Winning playwright RUPERT HOLMES\nStarring Michelle Azar as Ruth Bader Ginsburg\nDirected by Laley Lippard

SUMMARY:National Theater Live Broadcast – The Misanthrope
DESCRIPTION:Award-winner Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) plays the title role in this razor-sharp reimagining of Molière’s classic dark comedy. \nTelling the truth isn’t always that simple. Alice\, a brilliant novelist\, despises the carefully constructed lies of modern society. But the more she challenges those around her\, the fiercer the backlash becomes. Soon\, she must confront the price of speaking her truth in a world that would rather silence her. \nFilmed live on stage at the National Theatre\, Indhu Rubasingham directs Martin Crimp’s (Cyrano de Bergerac) highly anticipated play. \nAdult $18 | Senior $13 | Student $11 | All fees included
