CHOIR BOY
Thursday, April 28, 7pm
Charlie Anders
A fantastical coming-of-age story, this novel combines off-kilter humor and...
modern-day magic in a rollicking, bittersweet story about a 12-year-old choirboy
who wants nothing more than to remain a choirboy.

*Dr. Sprinkle's Spectacular Sex
Tuesday, June 21
7pm
ANNIE SPRINKLE
Why am I so interested in sex? Why have I devoted thirty years to exploring it relentlessly?
Because sexuality is not only something that can be used for the enhancement of an intimate relationship, for physical pleasure or procreation. It can also be used for personal transformation, physical and emotional healing, self-realization, spiritual growth, and as a way to learn about all of life.
