SUMMARY:Pippin
DESCRIPTION:With an infectiously unforgettable score from four-time Grammy winner\, three-time Oscar winner\, and musical theater giant Stephen Schwartz\, Pippin is the story of one young man’s journey to be extraordinary. Winner of four 2013 Tony Awards\, including Best Musical Revival\, this updated circus-inspired version of Pippin continues to captivate and appeal to the young at heart worldwide. \nHeir to the Frankish throne\, the young prince Pippin is searching for the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. He seeks it in the glories of the battlefield\, the temptations of the flesh\, and the intrigues of political power (after disposing of his father\, King Charlemagne the Great). In the end\, though\, Pippin finds that happiness lies not in extraordinary endeavors but in the daily un-extraordinary moments.

SUMMARY:Pippin
DESCRIPTION:With an infectiously unforgettable score from four-time Grammy winner\, three-time Oscar winner\, and musical theater giant Stephen Schwartz\, Pippin is the story of one young man’s journey to be extraordinary. Winner of four 2013 Tony Awards\, including Best Musical Revival\, this updated circus-inspired version of Pippin continues to captivate and appeal to the young at heart worldwide. \nHeir to the Frankish throne\, the young prince Pippin is searching for the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. He seeks it in the glories of the battlefield\, the temptations of the flesh\, and the intrigues of political power (after disposing of his father\, King Charlemagne the Great). In the end\, though\, Pippin finds that happiness lies not in extraordinary endeavors but in the daily un-extraordinary moments.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL - The Golden Ticket to College Admissions Is Not What You Think
DESCRIPTION:Another college application season is around the corner\, and stress is already beginning to ratchet up for teens and their parents. You’re invited to join us for this must-watch talk by Irena Smith\, PhD. You will hear about constructive and healthy ways to approach the college application process\, preserve your relationship with your teen\, and help them define success on their terms instead of chasing the elusive “golden ticket.” \nREGISTER HERE \nIrena is a former Stanford Admissions Officer who has spent 18 years advising accomplished\, tightly-wound students in Palo Alto and around the world. She saw firsthand the extreme measures parents took to help their children gain admission to highly selective colleges and the toll it took on the children as well as on their parents. \nAt the same time\, Irena’s own children struggled with developmental delays\, learning differences\, severe depression\, and anxiety. She kept her double life—successful college counselor at work\, anxious mom at home—tightly under wraps for years until a stunning realization: she was exactly like the anxious parents of the students she worked with\, all of whom were equally terrified about their children’s future. Irena’s memoir\, The Golden Ticket: A Life in College Admissions Essays\, which candidly explores her personal as well as professional life\, was published in 2023\, and she has since devoted her time to speaking out about hard things: the heavy burden of generational expectations\, teen and young adult mental health\, and the importance of embracing a broader\, more generous vision of what it means to succeed. To learn more about Irena’s personal experience as a parent\, professional experience as a college admissions officer\, and leave with tips on how to help your child approach the application process in practical\, healthy ways–register now!

SUMMARY:Online Artist Talk: Fast Fashion
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this online interactive talk about on the environmental footprint of the fast fashion industry. \nJoin Yulia Shtern\, an artist featured in our current exhibit\, Changing Tides\, in a talk on the environmental footprint of the fast fashion industry. \nWe’ll uncover the impact fast fashion\, the rapid creation and distribution of inexpensive clothing\, has on the environment and explore alternative materials and practices aimed at alleviating these effects. \nThe second part of the talk introduces a number of international artists\, including some of members from the i3C Artist Group also featured in Changing Tides\, who use upcycled textiles and other discarded materials originating from fast fashion as their artistic medium. \nThe aim of the talk is to foster the public’s interest\, creating further awareness about this aspect of caring for the environment\, and helping to educate and inspire. Community’s engagement with environmental initiatives facilitates their forming of an emotional connection to these issues\, galvanizing the feeling of ownership and investment in the potential solutions. \nThis talk will be presented via Zoom. A link will be sent via email shortly before the event to guests who have RSVP’d with instructions.
