SUMMARY:A Midsummer Night's Dream
DESCRIPTION:“A Midsummer Night’s Dream” will be an interactive outdoor Shakespeare show in the Gardens. Shakespeare is at his most playfully chaotic\, as four young lovers wander into the woods\, where a group of fairies—who really should not be in charge of anything—decide to intervene in their relationships. Thanks to one well-meaning but unreliable sprite\, everyone ends up briefly in love with the wrong person. Meanwhile\, a troupe of very sincere (and very untalented) actors attempts to stage a play. By morning\, things are mostly sorted out\, dignity is lightly bruised\, and the whole experience feels a bit like a dream no one can quite explain. \nThis interactive\, fun\, outdoor production will be staged at Historic London Town & Gardens in Edgewater\, MD\, produced in partnership with Compass Rose Theater featuring its student actors ages 10-18. \nPatrons are invited to bring a blanket (or reserve a chair)\, dress in character\, and bring or purchase fairy wings or crowns at the event and be part of the show!

SUMMARY:An evening with New Times Best Selling Author Chris Bohjalian
DESCRIPTION:Join Park Books in welcoming #1 NYT Bestselling author Chris Bohjalian as he celebrates the release of his new novel\, THE AMATEUR. He will be in conversation with Jung Yun. \nWe request that all readers secure a book ticket or seat ticket. Please note: book availability is not guaranteed unless purchased with a Book Ticket or through preorder\, as inventory is planned based on ticket sales and preorders. \nAbout the Book: When a young woman\, a golf prodigy\, accidentally kills a caddy with a stray ball at the country club\, the investigation of this freak accident reveals a dark and shocking tale of secret affairs\, predatory men\, and a teenager on trial in this spellbinding novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Flight Attendant. \n1978: It is the first Thursday in August and temperatures are flirting with ninety when Mira Winston\, eighteen years old\, drives a practice ball from her tee with a wooden club. The golf ball\, weighing 1.6 ounces\, tears through the net\, travels 150 miles per hour for fifteen yards and slams\, with sickening force\, into the forehead of a high school junior named Kenny Foster\, causing a traumatic rupture in the frontal lobe of his brain. Kenny brings his right hand to his forehead\, then topples to his side. He is dead before the ambulance even arrives. \nIn the wake of this terrible accident—and everyone\, at first\, agrees it was an accident—Mira looks for comfort in all the wrong places: In her lover\, Theo Catton\, a married man forty years her senior. In her mother\, a well-kept woman with secrets of her own. In the dead caddy’s little sisters\, girls bewildered by grief. But when Henry Fallows\, the golf pro\, looks more closely at the torn net\, when the detective investigating the case recalls Mira’s history of recklessness\, and when Kenny’s father spies Mira with her married lover\, the affluent and mannered community turns on this once promising young woman. \nA gripping story that takes the reader from the sun-soaked greens of a tony Westchester country club to the fluorescent-lit stand of a district courtroom\, The Amateur What happens when one small moment—a swing\, a ball\, a piece of string—changes the course of an entire life? \nCost to attend-purchased through the Park Books website \nSeat ticket only: $5.00 \nBook and seat ticket: $39.98
