Tuesday, September 10 “Letters from the Heart” with Dennis Depcik

Based on Dennis Depcik’s book "Wouldn’t It Be Something," “Letters from the Hearth” is both a love story and a nostalgic look at the power of the hand-written letter. It’s the true story of a long-distance relationship between an Army officer, an “insignificant kid,” and a young woman back home. It’s a romance that began on different sides of an ocean and blossomed into a forty-plus year marriage.

Tuesday, September 17 “The Real Story of Mae West” with Martina Mathisen

Mae West: she shattered box office records and public sensibilities. She rocketed from Broadway to become the highest-paid actress in Hollywood. Her one-liners scandalized the censors yet made her an icon. She rescued studios from bankruptcy and created stars. Without her, Cary Grant would have remained a nobody! Meet the woman behind the wit. Who was Mae West, really? Meet Mae West and find out.

Tuesday, September 24 “Teddy Roosevelt” with Terry Lynch

Local actor and Center favorite Terry Lynch returns with a program by popular demand: Having just completed his second term as president, Theodore Roosevelt reflects back on his triumphs and failures, primarily on his White House years.

There will be a special luncheon on October 1.

Please save the date for the interactive presentation, “I Was There, Man! Woodstock’s Golden Jubilee”! Note: This program will have a longer running time than usual.
