Staged Reading | Could You Patent the Sun?: Drama Inspired by the Life of Jonas Salk (Polio Vaccine Inventor)
This play explores the life and legacy of Dr. Jonas Salk, the visionary scientist who developed the polio vaccine and who famously refused to patent it, believing that life-saving knowledge should belong to everyone. With minimal staging and maximum impact, Galinsky fuses humor, grit, and heart to embody Salk as both a man and a mirror for our times. The 55-minute performance is an intimate theatrical experience that raises timely questions about science, compassion, innovation, and the human spirit: Who owns knowledge? Who profits from discovery? And what happens when compassion, not profit, drives innovation? Written by Robert Galinsky. Directed by Cory Michael Herman

Musical | True Love Never Did Run Smooth: An Operetta of Shakespearean Songs
Enjoy Shakespeare's songs brought to life in a beautiful quartet. An hour of music and Shakespeare filled with love, heartbreak, and hope. Shakespeare alludes to or includes the text of well over one hundred songs in his works. Music was an integral part of Elizabethan life, as it is today. London publishers were constantly producing broadside ballads, madrigals, and consort pieces, and most educated people could read music and play a tune on a recorder, lute, or viola da gamba. Performers: Laura Whittenberger, Soprano Anna Willson, Soprano Alex Lyons, Tenor, Recorders Garald Farnham, Baritone, Lutes
