Book: A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway
Description - J.Yardley, The Washington Post:
"Sometime in 1960 Ernest Hemingway completed a memoir of his years in Paris from 1921 to 1926. "If the reader prefers," he wrote in a three-paragraph preface, "this book may be regarded as fiction. But there is always the chance that such a book of fiction may throw some light on what has been written as fact." He did not submit the manuscript for publication, and the next year he was dead. …Three years later the manuscript was published as "A Moveable Feast." The title apparently was chosen by Hemingway's widow, Mary, who recalled words he had written to a friend in 1950: "If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.""

Ladies Night Out
“They're Playing Our Song”
Neil Simon put the funny in this musical romance that follows the on-again, off-again romance of one very despondent composer and one very ditzy lyricist, as they try to create their own unique love song. Loosely based on the real-life love affair of composer, Marvin Hamlisch, and lyricist, Carole Bayer-Sager, this whirling dervish of a musical comedy will have you humming its songs between each and every laugh.
Bring dinner and beverages at 7:00 p.m. to enjoy a picnic dinner before the show (curtain at 8:00)
Time: 7:00 p.m.
