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.

Join us at Earthplace for a healing and restorative Sound Bath session with Lisa Pak, the founder and owner of Hummingbird Healing Center in Westport!

Lisa’s Sound Bath Meditations are multi-instrumental soundscapes that begin with a short guided meditation to relax the participants as they lie down on yoga mats with blankets, bolsters, and eye pillows. As the soothing sounds wash over the participants (hence the term “sound bath”), Lisa allows the Himalayan bowls, gongs, crystal bowls, and her voice to work their magic. She will incorporate sounds of nature into her journey with rain sticks, bird whistles, palm fronds, and more. After the Sound Bath, participants feel more relaxed, refreshed, and at peace.

Join us for Moth Ball, our nerdiest and most creative event yet! Enjoy an evening of moth observation, expert-led lightsheeting stations, hands-on activities, crafts, and nature walks after dark. Costumes encouraged! Come dressed as your favorite moth or nighttime creature. Refreshments will be served.

Don’t miss out on the fun! Register at https://earthplace.org/annual-moth-ball/
