Umoja: Unity

Nia: Purpose

FREE author talk!
The book DAUNTLESS tells the unknown story of the 1st and 2nd Filipino Regiments, US Army, who fought in the Philippines and the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion that arrived in secret submarine missions to the various islands two and a half years before Gen MacArthur returned on his way to Japan. President Roosevelt created the unique Filipino unit to fight in the islands. Only MacArthur and certain people on his staff knew of the top-secret missions. The mission men brought weapons and supplies to keep the guerrillas’ morale high to continue the resistance. Through unimaginable dangers, radio messages were sent to Australia on the enemy’s disposition for a successful return that saved Filipino and American lives.

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee: 2nd weekend
2023-10-27 19:00 - 21:00 | CA
A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a delightful den of comedic genius. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.
Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee has charmed audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor. Featuring a fast-paced, wildly funny and touching book by Rachel Sheinkin and a truly fresh and vibrant score by William Finn, this bee is one unforgettable experience.
