Learn to Weave! Join us for an afternoon of fiber friendship and camaraderie. Weaving is an ancient craft; it shelters and clothes as well as adorns our spaces, adding texture, color, design and inspiration to our lives. And it is the actual process of weaving, along with selecting fibers, natural objects; guiding weft through the vertical foundation of warp strings; creating pattern/texture as the process unfolds…these steps continue to connect us with the past, and more importantly, with ourselves. Join in this weaving workshop as we weave intuitively and work together in a space of creativity and openness. Instructor Jeanine Ertl will provide guidance in a variety of weaving techniques and will surround you with warped looms to work on, tools to learn with, natural fibers, and foraged and gathered natural objects to incorporate into your weavings. Feel free to bring your own items to weave into your piece, especially if there are any fibers/yarns, stones/crystals, shells, leaves/grasses, etc. that you’d like to experiment with. Each weaver will complete a one-of-a-kind woven textile. We’ll have rods on hand for those who would like to adapt their pieces into wall hangings. Come explore mindfully making in a space of creativity & harmony with others. No experience necessary. Ages 14+ welcome! • Military, first responders and sibling discounts • Scholarships available • Homeschool funds accepted • If this class is full, join the interest list to be notified.

A tight-knit group of gay men reunite in Palm Springs for a weekend of rekindling friendships, drinking poolside margaritas, and the biggest highlight: recording a lip-synched music video. Turns out a vacation in this dreamy town is not all fun and games when there’s gossip and grudges floating in the air. "To My Girls" is a hysterical yet deeply moving play about chosen family and how we move forward as a community in times of change and uncertainty. Pool floats, margaritas, and a little drama never hurt anybody. Visit: https://ci.ovationtix.com/33385/production/1245145 Diversionary Theatre on Instagram and Facebook
