Fingers crossed and ready for our first event of the New Year with the same wonderful guest that ushered in our return to events last summer, the wonderful George Chakiris!

George will be in the house, signing copies of his book, MY WEST SIDE STORY-A MEMOIR and introducing a 70mm screening of the Oscar winning film, WEST SIDE STORY. There is simply no better way to enjoy a movie this BIG than on the BIG SCREEN!





The songs , the dancing, the cinematography and the stories behind it all with the man who played "Riff the Jet" on the stage and "Bernardo the Shark" on the screen. Learn about it all in MY WEST SIDE STORY-A MEMOIR.

Experiencing West Side Story with expert insights on the Westside sounds like an incredible way to revisit such a culturally significant film and its enduring themes. It reminds me of how a Cartoonperson might uncover hidden layers in their own narrative through a deep dive!

The seasonal self regulation activities you shared are both creative and supportive. It is wonderful to see multicultural elements included. I recently came https://griffindeck.com/ across a similar early learning resource post on a griffindeck based review blog.

Engaging and culturally rich. The way the performance and setting were described made it easy to visualize. I read a similar arts commentary on a revitalyzemd-based https://www.revitalyzemd.com/hair-restoration/ review blog, and it had the same immersive quality.
