The Attic Ensemble Presents: The Pillowman
Tickets: $20 general admission; $15 senior citizens/students.
Martin McDonagh's award-winning - and remarkably dark - black comedy is a spine-chilling story of fact versus fiction. A writer is arrested when children in his vicinity begin dying savagely, in ways resembling his stories. The interrogation includes his brother, two unpredictable investigators, and the telling of several stories which led to the writer's arrest.
"Energizing...a blindingly bright black comedy...[what makes] the unsettling and exhilarating new play from Mr. McDonagh...so gripping as theater is how narrative art becomes the play's and the character's very life blood." -The New York Times

Make a Pot, Plant a Seed - Kids love caring for plants they grow themselves, and they can make a pot from newspaper, fill it with soil, and plant sunflower seeds. Then set the whole thing in a paper cup and take it home to plant. The birds will thank you!

Culinary Arts Workshop at HCCC Culinary Arts Institute: "Slow Cooking"
6:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Tuition: $50. Class held at the Hudson County Community College Culinary Arts Institute. Click here to download the full schedule of community education classes.
All the top chefs in the world are doing it: cooking foods at extremely low temperatures - and sometimes over extremely long periods of time. Often these foods are cooked in a vacuum (known as sous vide) and have not been widely accepted in the United States due to the dangers of botulism. This course examines how, why, and what these chefs are cooking and how this relates to the principles of HACCP or Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point. Class is limited to 12 students.
