“Bridge of Spies” is a 2015 historical film directed and co-produced by Steven Spielberg.

Set during the Cold War, the film tells the story of lawyer James B. Donovan (played by Tom Hanks), who is entrusted with negotiating the release of Francis Gary Powers, a U.S. Air Force pilot whose U-2 spy plane was shot down over the Soviet Union in 1960. Powers was sentenced to 10 years in prison, and his only hope for release was through Donovan. Powers’ son, Francis Gary Powers Jr., is the author of several books including “Spy Pilot,” and consulted on the film. During the program he will discuss misinformation in the movie, talk about being on set and working with the cast and crew, and offer a behind-the-scenes look at what motivated Spielberg to make the film. Schedule: 5:30 p.m.: Commentary with Francis Gary Powers Jr. 6-8:15 p.m.: Film screening 8:15-8:40 p.m.: Audience Q&A A book signing will take place before and after the program.

Me, Myself, and Other is a sharp, funny, and unexpectedly moving solo performance about identity, disability, and the messy middle between who you were told to be and who you actually are.

A first-gen American grappling with the feeling of being “othered” throughout her life is forced to confront and embrace her true identity after a life-altering diagnosis. Humorous, heartfelt, and unflinchingly honest, this show takes one on a timely and poignant journey through cultural contradictions, societal expectations, and the resilience it takes to rewrite your own narrative.

An hour long, searingly innovative and comedic take on an oft-told story, DI LADY DI eschews the fairytale glamor of the People’s Princess to illuminate her struggles in a dysfunctional family and paternalistic society. Under pressure to sacrifice self and conform to oppressive external demands, Lady Di bravely relinquishes illusory dreams to emerge from her crucible-chrysalis as an empowered woman of influence, transcending celebrity and transforming the monarchy. Through beautiful, multi-layered harmonies and incisive lyrics, DI LADY DI celebrates the transformative possibilities of finding humor in the darkness, overcoming familial trauma, and the ineffable power of a woman’s intuition.
