Date: 2026-12-02T02:00:00Z
Description: Labor and delivery may seem like a scary undertaking for many expectant moms. In her Monday evening class, Joyce prepares women for being uncomfortable in labor, and helps them to know that they can handle it. The practice starts off slowly with a warm up, moving into a relatively vigorous strength-building vinyasa practice, and finishing with a relaxing restorative pose. In the process, moms learn how to relax on command, let go of tension and fear, to become more aware of their bodies and to feel comfortable with the changes that pregnancy brings. This is a mixed levels class, with variations to accommodate all expectant mothers.

Description: "As Long As You're Asking: A Conversation with Jason Alexander" is an evening of comedy, music and conversation with the award-winning star of stage and screen, with a twist: the audience determines what they want to know the most. Alexander will present a variety of topics for the audience to pick and choose from, culminating in behind-the-scenes stories of his life, career and social activism. Alternatively, ask about anything you've always wanted to know and see if he can answer. Alexander has starred on Broadway, in hit films like "Pretty Woman" and "Shallow Hal" and, of course, on the TV series "Seinfeld." He is an actor, director, producer, writer, children's book author, award-winning magician, semi-pro poker player and social-political activist. It's all on the table and the conversation is completely in your control, making for a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Aside from his performances on stage, screen and television, he has worked extensively as a writer, composer, director, producer and teacher of acting. In between all that, he has also become an award-winning magician, a notorious poker player and a respected advocate on social and political issues. For his depiction of "George" on "Seinfeld," Alexander garnered six Emmy nominations, four Golden Globe nominations, an American Television Award and two American Comedy Awards.

More informationAn Evening with #1 Bestselling Author, Mitch Albom
Date: 2026-12-10T03:30:00Z
Description: #1 internationally renowned and bestselling author Mitch Albom returns to nonfiction with “Finding Chika: A Little Girl, An Earthquake, And The Making Of A Family.” With this book, the author of “Tuesdays With Morrie” celebrates Chika, a young Haitian orphan whose short life forever changed his heart. Chika Jeune was born three days before the devastating earthquake that decimated Haiti in 2010. She spent her infancy in a landscape of extreme poverty, and when her mother died, Chika was brought to the Have Faith Haiti Orphanage that Albom operates in Port Au Prince. With no children of their own, the children at the orphanage became family to Mitch and his wife, Janine. Chika's arrival makes a quick impression. Brave and self-assured, even as a three-year-old, she delights the other kids and teachers. But at age five, Chika is diagnosed with something a doctor there says, "No one in Haiti can help you with." Mitch and Janine bring Chika to Detroit, hopeful that they can get the medical help needed to return her to a healthy life in Haiti. Instead, Chika becomes a permanent part of their household and their lives as they embark on a two-year, around-the-world journey to find a cure for an inoperable brain tumor. As Chika's boundless optimism and humor teach Mitch the joys a child brings to their lives, he learns that a relationship built on love, no matter what blows it takes, can never be lost. Told in hindsight, and through illuminating conversations with Chika herself, this is Albom at his most poignant and vulnerable. “Finding Chika” is a celebration of a girl, her guardians and the incredible bond they formed—a devastatingly beautiful portrait of what it means to be a family, regardless of how it is made.
