How May We Hold Tension Creatively?
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Our Sunday Service, “Creative Tension,” will be led by Rev. Mary Grigolia. How may we hold tension creatively - in our relationships, congregation, community - so we open to new understandings of ourselves and our world, enhancing our lives and allowing us to enhance other people’s lives? This service is part of our year-long theme, 'Healing the Heart of Democracy.'

Ruthless!
3:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Ruthless! is a campy cult favorite about Tina Denmark, the greatest song-and-dance sensation to ever hit the third grade. When her school holds auditions for Pippi in Tahiti, Tina proves she will do anything to play the lead…anything! This outrageous musical famously spoofs Broadway musicals such as Gypsy and Mame, as well as classic films including The Bad Seed and All About Eve. An Off-Broadway sensation, Ruthless! is the winner of Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards.
