Gilbert and Sullivan were the pioneers of musical theater 150 years ago, and some of their operettas continue to be performed and enjoyed today. Join us for five fun-filled and educational classes as we learn about the iconic duo, enjoy at least one song from each play, and get a glimpse of British Victorian society as well. Special attention will be given to the three most popular                   productions: “HMS Pinafore”, “The Pirates of Penzance”, and “The Mikado”   with several songs from these plays. You'll have a chance to sing along if you wish! Are you ready to be "The Very Model of a Modern Major General"?

Join Carolyn Chandler for this three-part series as you travel through iconic cities and small towns, from St. Louis and Joplin to Oklahoma City, Amarillo, Gallup, Flagstaff, Kingman, Barstow, and beyond. Along the way, meet colorful characters, discover fascinating history, marvel at quirky roadside attractions,    enjoy stunning scenery, and pick up practical road trip tips. Whether you've  traveled Route 66 before or only dreamed of it, this photographic adventure  will bring the spirit of America's Mother Road to life. 

Join “Lend Me Your Ears” Readers’ Theater Group for a delightful hour of funny stories, comedy monologues and dialogues, and some very funny scenes from one-act plays as well. This presentation, called Just For Laughs, is a collection of writings by our favorite humorists, comedians, authors, and playwrights and features delightful and artfully-told jokes, too. We’re not kidding around . . . THIS is gonna be funny! This is a Lunch and Learn Event, sponsored by                   Commissioner Michelle Long Spears. Reservations for lunch are required. Please sign up in the lobby. 

Join Jonah for an update about the 120-acre forest here at Mason Mill.   He will bring  new stories and photos to inspire and educate us. 

One of humanity's first philosophical concerns was the possibility of an afterlife.   And it continued academically and religiously contentious throughout the centuries. The class will survey the concepts and literature, from Dante through Pascal's Wager to Jonathon Edward's sermons, possibly drawing some interesting conclusions.

Join us for Part 4 of our Silk Road series as we explore how this ancient network of trade routes connected East Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and parts of Africa for more than 1,500 years. Discover how the exchange of goods, ideas, religions, and cultures transformed civilizations, why the Silk Road eventually declined, and how its legacy continues to influence our interconnected world today. Presented by Howard Cohen. 

This class will present some of the greatest art heists in history. These stories are filled with shadowy figures, sensational master plans, daring escapes and international espionage. Some of the most expensive pieces of art in the world have  vanished forever or have taken years to track down.  The presentation covers stealing The Ghent Altarpiece (several times), the Isabella Stewart Gardner theft, and stealing the Scream (at least twice) and the Swedish Speedboat Heist. Presented by Jill Parks. 

This discussion will explore short poems by Seamus Heaney, A.E. Stallings, Robert Hayden, Philip Larkin, and Wordsworth’s descriptions of “spots of time.”  We will consider questions such as:  How do poems about other people’s memories reanimate our own?

Does attending closely to poems improve our memory?  What can science teach us about the cognitive and emotional benefits of getting poems or passages “by heart”?

Handouts will be available as usual, but participants who would like to read  the poems in advance are urged to email John at engjs@emory.edu.

Relationships are the most important thing we do as human beings.  Without them we would not survive during our early years or live happy satisfying lives afterward. Most of us are aware of the importance of using verbal language to relate, but beyond our  awareness there is another language operating that is as significant for connecting with others. Explore this language and how it is like and different from verbal language and how the differences have a unique impact on how our interactions with others turn out.

At both Polar regions, animals experience stress, and adaptations for survival and success. Charles Darwin had two great ideas: that creatures evolve over time and that their attributes for dealing with whatever their environments challenge them with determine their survival rates. Thus those attributes get passed on, and predominate in the general struggle.  The class will spotlight particular adaptations and how they came about. Which species do the best with what they face and why. Beyond the severe cold climate situations, we will also touch on: extremes of drought, cases of predation, pandemics, and of course climate change.

Join Jeff Milsteen for a stroll through the past, present and future of the largest museum complex in the world.  Most of us have fond memories of spending a family vacation being dragged down the mall on a hot summer day in Washington D.C.  Whether you were the one doing the dragging or the one being dragged, or even if you’ve never visited any of the Smithsonian’s museums, you will enjoy this stroll through the fascinating history of the institution, learning how it was founded, how it is governed and the scope of its collections.  We’ll also explore some of the recent controversies surrounding the Smithsonian and look at the challenges it is facing in the current political climate.
