Book Discussion | The Rose in Fashion: Ravishing, Author and Dress Historian in Conversation (virtual) 


Amy de la Haye's The Rose in Fashion: Ravishing explores how the rose has inspired the way we look, dress, feel, and fantasize. Wild yet cultivated, savage yet delicate, the rose has remained an enduring symbol. From elite 18th century woven silks to the latest gender-neutral catwalk trends, the rose in fashion has referenced love, beauty, sex, sin, gendered identities, rites of passage, transgression, degradation, and death. de la Haye is a fashion and dress historian, writer, and curator. She is a professor of dress history and curatorship at London College of Fashion, joint director of the University of the Arts Centre for Fashion Curation.

Performance | Broadway Murder Mystery: Play The Part Or Solve The Crime! (virtual)


It's opening night of Murder in the First on Broadway, and nerves are high. The cast and crew are all a buzz backstage with the excitement of the lights, the sounds - and the dead body of big-shot Broadway Producer. There lies Jack Bialystock, shot in the back, centerstage before the curtain could rise. Was the murderer a cast member, like Anita Part who's making her Broadway debut tonight, or seasoned performer Sienna Stealer? Was it the sleazy casting director Colin Back, or a member of the audience like Megan Phan who somehow wandered backstage? There's only one way to find out: play the game Bullets on Broadway! But hold onto your overpriced wine--the murderer may be YOU!
