There, inside the walls of this crumbling New York tavern, a young couple finds themselves caught up in what might be the biggest conspiracy of all. Steven Dietz’s acclaimed and already widely produced dramatic thriller is a fierce, funny, and ultimately mind-bending work of theatrical power that grips you until the final word.

How Politicization of Our Courts Threatens our Democracy: We live in a time of political polarization that seems to affect every aspect of our republic. The courts that we expect to render justice fairly and impartially are increasingly politicized. When political agendas drive judicial outcomes, we cease to trust our courts and our judiciary. And when we lose faith in our system of justice, democracy itself is at risk.

While you’re here, check out our many crafting books with knitting and crocheting projects to try. Join us on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm.

Participants will be encouraged to test out hypotheses while designing their bristlebot and put their plans to the test! This program will be provided by Davidson library staff, and is recommended for preteens ages 9 to 12.
