The 2024 Pulitzer Prize winning play comes to life on the Playhouse stage.
Eboni Booth’s 2024 Pulitzer Prize winning breakout play is an uplifting, gentle and powerful exploration of change, friendship, and quiet courage. Meet Kenneth, a creature of habit whose world is upended when his lifelong job ends – and he’s nudged into the unknown by his best friend Bert and a few unexpected encounters over mai tais at the local tiki bar. This luminous new American play draws us into a deeply human journey, as Kenneth takes small steps into a bigger world – one where every connection holds the power to transform a life.

Seymour Library welcomes back the historian John Cilio. Mr. Cilio will talk on Connecticut's own patriot Roger Sherman. Roger Sherman was invaluable to the young nation as a masterful debater, negotiator, and man of legal mind.
With his family in New Milford, Connecticut and his work as a lawyer in Litchfield County, Roger Sherman entered politics as he was selected to the Connecticut General Assembly in 1755.
Sherman, always unwavering in his support for independence from British rule, is the only person to sign all four great state papers of the United States: the Continental Association, The Declaration of Independence, The Articles of Confederation and The Constitution.
Call the Library at 203-888-3903 for more information about this program. Registration is not necessary for this program.
