Author Reading | Aili & Andres McConnon discuss their book Road to Valor


There are sport champions and there are national icons. Gino Bartali was more of the latter. In an Italy that emerged from World War II half destroyed and humiliated, he represented the will to make it, the idea that with honesty and hard work you could actually triumph. But very few people know that it was during the tragic final years of the war that Gino won the most difficult battles, working in close contact with the Resistance and Cardinal Della Costa of Florence to help Jews and other people persecuted by the Nazis and the Fascists.

Theater | Shakespeare's As You Like It, Directed by Tony Winner Daniel Sullivan


Rosalind, Shakespeare's most breathtaking heroine, and her boyfriend Orlando find themselves in the enchanted Forest of Arden, where all the world's a stage, and where sudden infatuation is as confusing as it is beautiful. Along with other "country copulatives," they discover that nothing transforms, redeems, or enriches experience quite as powerfully as love. As You Like It has everything we adore about Shakespearean comedy: mistaken identity, cross-dressing, madness, mayhem, rage, lust, laughter, and of course plenty of romance, both heartbreaking and joyous. Featuring Brendan Averett, Andre Braugher, Donna Lynne Champlin, Grantham Coleman, Jon DeVries, MacIntyre Dixon, Susannah Flood, David Furr, Renee Elise Goldsberry, Andrew Hovelson, Robert Joy, Jesse Lenat, Erik Mathew, Omar Metwally, Oliver Platt, Lily Rabe, Will Rogers, Michael Rudko, Justine Salata, Paul Saylor, Anna Phyllis Smith, Stephen Spinella, and Brendan Titley.
