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.

Another season, another reason to support the Friends of the Guilford Free Library’s annual Spring Book Sale!

The sale offers gently used hardcover and paperback fiction and nonfiction for adults and children, as well as books on art, cooking, gardening and more. Also, mass market paperbacks, DVDs, CDs and jigsaw puzzles. Everything is in excellent condition and offered at unbeatable prices.

The sale will take place on the front patio and in the Meeting Room, rain or shine.

All proceeds from the sale go to support the Library—to buy books; sponsor programs for children, teens, and adults; purchase equipment, software, and hardware; and to provide funds for staff development.

***And if you’re doing any Spring Cleaning, please consider donating used books in saleable condition to the Friends’ fundraising efforts. There is a conveniently placed table for donations at the Library’s parking-lot entrance.

The Library is located at 67 Park Street across from the Guilford Green.
For more information, contact the Library at 203-453-8282 or www.guilfordfreelibrary.org.

This exhibition examines depictions of the American flag through 75 works by a diverse group of artists, beginning during WWI with Childe Hassam’s Italian Day, May 1918 and continuing to the present day, including a textile sculpture commissioned for the show from Maria de Los Angeles. The exhibition includes work in a variety of media by artists including Jasper Johns, Faith Ringgold, Robert Rauschenberg, Shepard Fairey, and Julie Mehretu, and challenges viewers to consider who the American flag truly represents and whether justice is available to all.

For Which It Stands… forms part of America250: The Promise and Paradox, an initiative through which Fairfield University Explores 250 Years of the American Experiment.
