Batteries Not Included: Artworks by Christopher Rivera

The subjects of his paintings are iconic characters like He-Man, Barbie and Mr. Potato Head, transporting the viewer back to their own youth. This collection of works promotes open-ended reflection and a return to the days when children weren't so quick to grow up.

August 29 - 31, 2019


Experience Let's Talk, a live one-act play, that comes straight out of the mouths of unbridled women.  These women exchange stories, recipes, favors, and all kinds of womanly advice.  On this particular night, the Truth is set free, which liberates the women and affords them the help they have needed for some time. You'll be raving about  Let's Talk  long after the actors have left the stage.

The Raft
August 30 - Septermber 2, 2019


This film tells the hidden story behind what has been described as 'one of the strangest group experiments of all time.' In the summer of 1973, five men and six women embarked on a 101-day scientific sea-adventure, drafting on a small raft across the Atlantic. Now, more than forty years later, the surviving members of 'The Acali Expedition' reunite, board a reconstruction of the raft, and tell their story.
