Thursday, September 25 at 7:00 p.m. – Patricia Lockwood“Will There Ever Be Another You” is the brain-shredding, phosphorescent story of one woman’s dissolution and her attempt to create a new way of thinking, as well as a profound investigation into what keeps us alive in times of unprecedented disorientation and loss. Sunday, September 28 at 2:00 p.m. – Misty Copeland“Bunheads, Act 2: The Dance of Courage” will be an inspiration to ballet and dance lovers everywhere, and to anyone who has ever suffered a setback or had a dream to defend. Thursday, October 23 at 7:00 p.m. – John Grisham“The Widow” follows Simon, a small-time lawyer accused of murder, as he races to find the real killer to clear his name. Monday, November 17 at 7:00 p.m. – Kate Baer“How About Now” is a bold and compassionate collection of poems that confronts the march of time in a shifting world. With her trademark candor and curiosity, Baer explores what it means to grow older, to release children into the wildness of their own lives, and to reclaim the ever-evolving self.
