Cost is sliding scale...whatever you can afford, but suggested @ $10
6pm- live music wit...h Red Weather and Emily Moldy, also an art bazaar featuring arts and crafts by local vendors and a 2nd floor gallery filled with the works of local women artists 8pm-"Legacy of Light" drama/comedy Two brilliant women, centuries apart, push the boundaries of science while grappling with motherhood in this theatrically adventurous comedy. Physicist Émilie du Châtelet, lover of famous French philosopher Voltaire, and a young poet, worries about her fate after she unexpectedly becomes pregnant. Driven by fear and ambition, she races to publish her theories based on Sir Isaac Newton’s Laws of Motion. Linked together by scientific legacy and maternal instincts, accomplished astrophysicist Olivia and her husband, Peter, want to conceive but cannot. Olivia’s attention turns to her new “child,” a planet she’s discovered in the midst of hiring a quirky and free-spirited surrogate. This touching and whimsical tale leaves us asking: Does the birth of a child ultimately mean as much to the world as the birth of an idea? Approx. Performance Run Time: 2 hours, with one 15 minute intermission. 10pm Panel Discussion with fantastic women balancing career and family decisions.
