SUMMARY:The Chicago 8: A Dramatic Transcript Reading
DESCRIPTION:In the aftermath of the 1968 Democratic National Convention\, eight anti-Vietnam war activists were tried for criminal conspiracy and incitement to riot. The “Chicago 8” trial was one of the most intense in American history\, characterized by the judge’s uncloaked hatred of the defendants; star testimony from some of the era’s cultural icons\, including Allen Ginsberg\, Norman Mailer\, Jesse Jackson\, and Judy Collins; and disturbing visuals\, like the only Black defendant being shackled and gagged in court. In this popular program\, Aytan Adler will lead participants in a dramatic reading of the edited trial transcript. Much like a table reading for a play\, participants will be assigned parts (judge\, attorney\, plaintiff\, etc.) with time for discussion. Bring your curiosity and creative spirit.

SUMMARY:JCC Book Club: The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store
DESCRIPTION:“A murder mystery locked inside a Great American Novel . . . Charming\, smart\, heart-blistering\, and heart-healing.” —Danez Smith\, The New York Times Book Review \nNamed a 2023 best book of the year by NPR/Fresh Air\, Washington Post\, The New Yorker\, and Time Magazine\, James McBride’s novel tells the story of small-town secrets and the people who keep them. In 1972\, workers in Pottstown\, Pennsylvania digging the foundations for a new development found a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill\, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side. As these characters’ stories overlap and deepen\, it becomes clear how much the people who live on the margins struggle and what they must do to survive.

SUMMARY:Albert Rivera Presents: A Brief History of Jazz Through the Eyes of its Performers
DESCRIPTION:In this hybrid talk and saxophone performance\, teaching artist Albert Rivera will take us through a brief history of jazz from the 1930s through the present day. He’ll discuss how different styles of jazz were created in response to the socio-economic and political themes of certain decades and how jazz music shaped the sounds of music we hear today. \nAbout the instructor: Described by WNPR’s Owen McNally as “A modern Jazz messenger\,” saxophonist Albert Rivera has been a consistent force on a national and international level since finalizing his studies at The New School University Jazz and Contemporary Music Program. Born and raised in the Bronx\, Albert is a recipient of a Chamber Music America Residency award\, an ASCAP Young Jazz Composers Award\, and most recently a City Arts Corp Grant. He is the current Director of Operations at the Litchfield Jazz Camp and serves on the Jazz Faculty at SUNY Purchase.
