Cost: $40 | Includes transportation and theatre ticketWe are pleased to schedule another trip to the Arvada Center for an afternoon of live theater.
Noises Off is about a touring troupe’s flop of a play that revolves and devolves into comedy chaos in this multi-award-winning play within a play. Noises Off is a relentless, high-energy farce filled with embarrassing moments, behind-the-scenes kerfluffles, physical comedy hijinks, and even flying sardines.
Take a trip behind the scenes as everything that could possibly go wrong, goes wrong. Noises Off gives audiences a voyeuristic view into the inner workings of theatre, and how the real drama happens when the actors leave the stage.
Play runs approximately 2.5 hours. SPACE IS LIMITED

Nervous Wrecks: Jewish Men & the Women Who Love Them
Thursday, April 4 | 1:00 -2:00pm
at BMH-BJ
Cost: $5 | Schmoozing & light refreshments will follow the programWriters, scholars, and comedians all point to a recognizable strain of “Jewish humor” that winds its way from the Hebrew Bible, to rabbinic commentaries, and through to today’s literary humorists and provocative stand-up comics. And this history of Jewish humor is chock full of examples of schlemiels and the women who love them.
Join University of Denver professor Adam Rovner for an interactive talk that describes the how Jewish men and women are portrayed in American culture, and what these images tell us about ourselves. Professor Rovner’s talk, “Nervous Wrecks: Jewish Men and the Women Who Love Them,” focuses on stereotypes of Jewish masculinity, Jewish motherhood, and the non-Jewish temptresses.
Advanced payment and registration required.

Jewish Women & Support for the Union and Confederate Causes During the American Civil War

at Temple Emanuel
Cost: $5 | Schmoozing & light refreshments will follow the programBy 1860, there were thriving Jewish communities across the United States both in the North and South. With the outbreak of hostilities in 1861, Jewish women joined their respective sides and offered their services as nurses, spies and smugglers, and formed soldiers’ aid societies.
Professor Tish Richard returns to share the experiences of Jewish women during the war as they suffered privations and endured separation from their husbands, brothers and fathers who enlisted. In their war work they provided for their men, their causes and fought anti-Semitic attitudes thereby proving in the North their Jewish Union loyalty and in the South their Jewish Confederate loyalty.
