Come read a part in Thorton Wilder's seminal minimalist play about life and death and love in Grover's Corners, New Hampshire. This is a show that means a lot to me, personally- I often think of a few of the ending scenes. The class will be limited to a fairly small number, so you should all have good parts. There will be an audience! If you would like to hear the show but maybe not perform, sign up for my class "Watch Our Town," which will watch this class read the show.

Watch the students in my "Script Reading: Thorton Wilder's Our Town" class read Our Town! Now you may be thinking, "why would I want to watch a bunch of amateurs read some silly play?" I can only say that Our Town is a fantastic, moving, thought-provoking play. Even if you don't sign up for this class, I hope you experience it at some point in your life- you will be richer for doing so. If you'd like to perform, sign up for the script-reading version!

Should you kill one person to save two? Is it ever justified to lie? Theories of ethics and justice can help us answer these questions. We will give a brief rundown of the ethics of Mill and Kant, and also contrast the two most prominent theories of justice: those of Rawls and Nozick.

Do you never read the instructions? This class is for you! Come build IKEA furniture with only a photograph of the intended product as your guide.

There will be paper, pencils, and tea. Come and write (I'll provide prompts, or you can choose your own topic) and then we'll share what we wrote and give constructive criticism!
