SUMMARY:DROP DEAD
DESCRIPTION:DROP DEAD by Billy Van Zandt and Jane Milmore (a comedy murder mystery) \n  \nDrop Dead!” is a play about a bad stage production\, similar to “The Play That Goes Wrong”. Most of the action takes place on a stage that has to be transformed to resemble the low-budget “off-off-off-off Broadway” stage called for in the script. \nThe stage\, which is said to have been created on a $35 budget\, is complete with uneven walls and defective props. Even the furniture is painted into the background. \nAt Town Players of New Canaan\, we’re so used to doing all the little things that make a set look really good\, this is gonna be a challenge to continually remind ourselves NOT to do those things\, and rather to make the set look the part! \nTickets for sale at: TPNC.ORG \nFINAL WEEKEND! \nBUT we also have a new season coming soon\, and lots of special events and staged readings throughout the Summer. So sign up for our newsletter to stay “in the know!” for events and auditions. Send Email to: INFO@TPNC.ORG \n

SUMMARY:Matthew Desmond: Poverty\, by America: Pulitzer Prize Winning and NYT Bestselling Author To Speak at New Canaan Library
DESCRIPTION:New Canaan Library is pleased to present a special speaking engagement with Matthew Desmond\, acclaimed sociologist and Pulitzer Prize winning author of Evicted. Mr. Desmond will introduce his latest book\, Poverty\, by America\, the #1 nonfiction book on the New York Times Nonfiction Bestseller list.\nNoted as one of the most anticipated books of 2023 by The Washington Post\, Time\, Esquire\, Newsweek\, and Minneapolis Star Tribune\, among others\, Poverty\, by America makes a “provocative and compelling” (NPR) argument about why poverty persists in America: because the rest of us benefit from it.\nAs the richest country in the world\, America has more poverty than any other advanced democracy\, with one child in 8 going without basic necessities. In this landmark book\, acclaimed sociologist Matthew Desmond draws on history\, research\, and original reporting to show how affluent Americans knowingly\, and unknowingly\, keep poor people poor.\nMatthew Desmond is a professor of sociology at Princeton University. After receiving his Ph.D. in 2010 from the University of Wisconsin at Madison\, he joined the Harvard Society of Fellows as a Junior Fellow. In addition to Poverty\, by America\, he is the author of four books\, including Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City (2016)\, which won the Pulitzer Prize\, National Book Critics Circle Award\, Carnegie Medal\, and PEN / John Kenneth Galbraith Award for Nonfiction. The principal investigator of The Eviction Lab\, Desmond’s research focuses on poverty in America\, city life\, housing insecurity\, public policy\, racial inequality\, and ethnography. He is the recipient of a MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship\, the American Bar Association’s Silver Gavel Award\, and the William Julius Wilson Early Career Award. A contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine\, Desmond was listed in 2016 among the Politico 50\, as one of “fifty people across the country who are most influencing the national political debate.”

SUMMARY:Glass House Presents: Architecture Now: New York\, New Publics
DESCRIPTION:The Glass House and New Canaan Library present a lecture by curator Evangelos Kotsioris about Architecture Now: New York\, New Publics\, an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art that showcases 12 projects for public-facing spaces across New York City’s five boroughs. In contrast to the violent nature of urban renewal and other disruptive metropolitan initiatives of the past century\, recent design approaches in this exhibition propose subtler\, nimbler interventions. Considering the city as an ecosystem\, these inventive approaches envision a future in which architecture creates more accessible\, sustainable\, and equitable cities. The exhibition is on view through July 29\, 2023.\nGlass House Presents is an ongoing series of talks\, performances\, and other live events that extend the site’s historic role as a gathering place for artists\, architects\, and other creative minds.

Among other projects\, he has recently co-organized the exhibitions Architecture Now: New York\, New Publics (2023)\, The Project of Independence: Architectures of Decolonization in South Asia\, 1947–1985 (2022)\, and Reuse\, Renew\, Recycle: Recent Architecture from China (2021–22). Trained as an architect and a historian\, his research focuses on the intersections of architecture with science\, technology\, and media. Kotsioris holds a PhD in history and theory of architecture from Princeton University and an MArch II from Harvard University. He has taught architecture at the University of Pennsylvania\, Barnard+Columbia Architecture\, Princeton School of Architecture\, The Cooper Union\, and Harvard Graduate School of Design.
