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.

The Seymour Library welcomes again the historian John Cilio. Mr. Cilio will speak on how the idea of an individual's freedom and and a nation's freedom grew from concepts present in the Colonists' print media and everyday interactions.

The Colonists' concept of freedom grew organically from concepts present in the print media of the time. Mr.Cilio will look into the early days of the Revolution---he will use primary and secondary sources as he focuses in the viewpoints and the mindset as the Colonists' gear up to the inevitable fight for independence.

The presentation will show how sermons from various states and church ministers, newspaper articles of the time and taverns served as lively hubs that encouraged Colonists to consider rebellion and ultimately self-governance as their best options for respect, independence and meaningful survival on their own collective terms.
