We invite you to do just that with us every second Wednesday of the month. Robin Barnes with Sounds for the Soul will create a peaceful sound immersion where you will allow the sound vibrations to wash over you and reset your frazzled nervous system. You will be eased into the experience with guided breath. So drop your kiddos off at school, invite a friend to join you and make your way to our welcoming space.

Presented by The Star Bright Players and Image Surgical Arts
The Star Bright Players (ages 13-18) and Image Surgical Arts present Urinetown the Musical, a sidesplitting sendup of greed, love, revolution (and musicals!), in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. Winner of three Tony Awards, three Outer Critics Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards and two Obie Awards, Urinetown provides a hilarious musical satire and fresh perspective on one of America’s greatest art forms in a hysterically funny and touchingly honest way. In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity’s most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides that he’s had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!
