Marin Shakespeare's 8/13 3-7 San Rafael Lesley Currier
Meet the Director and Enjoy an Afternoon Performance with the Family

Escape down the rabbit hole with Marin Shakespeare's own original adaptation of Lewis Carroll's whimsical, wacky and wonderfully twisted tale -- sure to delight children and grown-ups alike. Join Alice, the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter and more for a theatrical feast of tea, tarts and tantalizingly tickling words and images

There will be a special pre-show opportunity for Princeton alumni: Meet at 3:15 behind the haybales for a half-hour pre-show introduction by Lesley Schisgall Currier '84, Founder and Executive Director of Marin Shakespeare, who adapted and directed "Alice". Lesley will talk about how she adapted the production and give you a glimpse into the creative process at work. You may bring your own picnic to the pre-show talk if you like, however seats for the show should be saved early (Marin Shakespeare has seat cushions available, or you can bring your own blanket or cushions). Show starts at 4pm.

Princeton alumni will receive discounted admission to the show, courtesy of Lesley. $20 for adults, $15 for children under age 18. When you arrive at the Box Office on the day of the show, you can inform the attendant that you are with the Princeton group. You can pay cash, check or credit card (except American Express) at the door.

Monet in Normandy at the Legion of Honor 8/20 9:15-11:15 San Francisco Cathy Legg '99
Private tour of the Monet in Normandy show at the Legion of Honor Museum

Join us for a private docent-led tour of the Monet in Normandy show at the Legion.

From the sublime isolation of the great chalk limestone cliffs at Etretat to the picturesque and romantic seaside at Trouville, this is Monet's Normandy captured in 53 unforgettable paintings.

Claude Monet spent much of his life in Normandy in northern France and his art reflects his special relationship with this countryside and its topographical features, with its towns and villages, and the seasonal rhythms of the region. Monet gained artistic inspiration from these subjects and returned to them throughout his career. Of particular interest is his interpretation of the sparkling, surging bodies of water found in Normandy, from the bustling commercial harbor at Le Havre, to scenery along the Seine, or beside quiet river banks, such as the Epte, to the crashing waves at Etretat. Manmade monuments, such as Rouen cathedral, also figure in Monet’s repertoire and will be represented in this selection of approximately 50 paintings.

The price is $5 for Legion of Honor Members, $17 for seniors 65+, and $20 for adults. Includes general admission ticket, admission to the Monet exhibit, and docent tour.

Date: Sunday 8/20
Time: 9:15-11:15
Location: Legion of Honor Museum, San Francisco

RSVP: Please RSVP by August 10 to the contact listed below.
