Georgie is a resourceful 12-year-old girl. She secretly lives alone in her flat in a working class suburb of London following the death of her mother. She makes money stealing bikes with her best friend Ali and keeps the social workers off her back by pretending to live with an uncle. Out of nowhere, her estranged father, Jason, arrives. Uninterested in this sudden new parental figure, Georgie is stubbornly resistant to his attempts to connect to his daughter. As they adjust to their new circumstances, Georgie and Jason find that they both still have a lot of growing up to do.

Civil rights activist and independent archivist Marion Stokes videotaped 33 years of the 24-hour news cycle on 70,000 VHS tapes. In an effort to protect the truth, Stokes created an archive of U.S. history through media, starting with the Iranian Hostage Crisis and ending with Sandy Hook. In some cases, Stokes’s recordings are the only ones in existence as networks disposed of their own copies and the collection is now being digitized by the Internet Archive for future use.

Please register if you are interested. Join us on the third Thursday of the month to discuss a dynamic mix of fiction and nonfiction. This month’s selection is Inciting Joy by Ross Gay.
Summary:
Gay’s poetically influenced prose is nothing short of joyful. Blending the serious and the playful, this essay collection incites joy with writings about a wide range of actions and places: dancing, orchards, teaching, skateboarding, basketball courts, technology’s absence, death, authentic gratitude, and more. For Gay, joy is also incited by courage and honesty; his essays have a through line of offering the deeply personal and speaking truth to power.
Please register if you are interested. Join us for a spooky, suspenseful game of Dread, where a teetering Jenga tower decides success or failure. Are you afraid?!

Each comedian is asked to do no more than five minutes of completely original material. While we do not care about foul language in your set, we do not allow racist, homophobic, transphobic or rape/female bashing jokes. If you have to ask if it’s racist, homophobic, transphobic or a rape joke, it probably is.
Comedians that wish to participate are asked to e-mail [email protected]. Newcomers and any participants who are not paid professionals will be required to bring audience members to see them. This is non-negotiable. So if you plan on signing up, be sure to invite as many friends as you can. Good luck!
