February 27 through March 22, 2026 Where there’s a Will there’s a way… Without William Shakespeare, we wouldn’t have "Romeo and Juliet", but without Henry Condell and John Heminges, we would have lost half of Shakespeare’s plays forever! Those who knew Shakespeare best thought to collect his plays into one volume to honor the legacy of the man they loved. Along the way, they’ll battle a shady publisher, drunken poet, shrinking resources, and their own mortality. Amidst the noise and color of Elizabethan London, The Book of Will tells an unforgettable true story of love, loss and laughter, and sheds new light on a man you may think you know. Advisory: Contains some adult language, drinking, and romance. Featuring: Shelley Benoit, Abbie Black, Chris Braden, Josh Click, Laura Ganz-Holton Andy Heil, Jeff Jones, Steven Jensen, Gabe Samrock, Stephen Toth, and Joseph Vitti. Performances: Fridays at 7:30 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m. Saturdays, February 28, March 7, and March 21, 2026, are 2 p.m. matinees; no evening performance Saturday, March 14, 2026 is 7:30 p.m. evening performance.

Class Description Artificial intelligence programs have been described in many ways, but perhaps the best way to understand how we can benefit as writers from the use of Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and others is to think of them as our sidekicks. Eager and helpful assistants that can do things faster and better than us as long as we give them the right instructions. This course is about which AI programs are the best for which tasks, what is possible with AI, and how to use it without crossing any ethical lines. You’ll learn how to benefit from AI when it comes to research and writing and how to design and produce amazing covers, websites, and marketing materials. AI can do things for a fraction of the cost and in the blink of an eye, including creating audio books, apps, and other complimentary (and lucrative) ancillary items. As promising as this sounds, we’ll also look at the ways in which we can lose authenticity and credibility if we take it too far. This is a hands-on, interactive, and solution-oriented program presented as a discussion and brainstorming session so we learn how to make the most of these powerful new tools to take our ideas, bring them to life, and get them out to the masses. Come with your questions and suggestions, and leave with a whole new way of working that opens up possibilities that weren’t available just a couple of years ago.
