SUMMARY:Smut: An Unseemly Story (The Greening of Mrs. Donaldson)
DESCRIPTION:One of England’s finest and most loved writers\, Alan Bennett\, explores the uncomfortable and tragicomic gap between people’s public appearance and their private desires in this tender and surprising story. In The Greening of Mrs. Donaldson\, a recently bereaved widow finds interesting ways to supplement her income by performing as a patient for medical students\, and renting out her spare room. Quiet\, middle-class\, and middle-aged\, Mrs. Donaldson will soon discover that she rather enjoys role-play at the hospital\, and the irregular and startling entertainment provided by her tenants.A master storyteller dissects a very English form of secrecy with this story of the unexpected in otherwise apparently ordinary lives.  Directed by Amy Kossow.

SUMMARY:Joel Selvin + John Hell
DESCRIPTION:If 1967’s Summer of Love heralded a sea change in San Francisco\, the disastrous events at Altamont in late 1969 heralded quite another. In Altamont: The Rolling Stones\, The Hells Angels\, And The Inside Story Of Rock’s Darkest Day\, Joel Selvin\, longtime music critic for the San Francisco Chronicle\, details every way in which the presumptive “Woodstock West” dissolved into chaos and bloodshed\, a bracing reminder that some of the “good old days” were not as nostalgia would paint them. Joining Selvin onstage will be local radio luminary John Hell (Radio Free Burning Man\, Radio Valencia)\, for an in-depth Q & A about one of rock music’s most notorious moments.

SUMMARY:Jeffrey Tambor
DESCRIPTION:A Broadway star\, a television legend\, an accomplished screen actor whose singular wit and heartrending performances have been entertaining audiences for more than four decades\, but the question remains: who the hell is Jeffrey Tambor? \nIn his illuminating\, often hilarious\, and always unflinchingly honest memoir\, Are You Anybody?\, Tambor looks back at the key moments in his life that taught him about creativity and play and pain and fear. The son of what you might call eccentric Russian and Hungarian Jewish parents\, Tambor grew up in San Francisco a husky kid with a lisp who suffered in his otherness\, and found salvation in the theater. \nWhile he learned his art from the best of the best—Al Pacino\, George C. Scott\, Garry Shandling\, Jill Soloway—he also introduces his many unexpected teachers\, from the nameless man in a Detroit bookstore who gave him the love of reading\, to his young children who (at this ridiculously late stage in his life) have re-introduced him to play\, bravery\, and the simple joy of not giving a shit. \nTambor shares the triumph of landing his first Broadway role\, but not before experiencing the humbling that is commercial work (and how even saying my socks don’t cling can prove a challenge). He invites you behind the scenes of his wildly successful television shows\, but he doesn’t leave out the pit stops he made at addiction\, Scientology\, and what it feels like to get fourth billing after Sylvia the Seal on The Love Boat. \nAt last\, Tambor answers the question ARE YOU ANYBODY? with a promise that success doesn’t mean perfection and failure most definitely is an option.

SUMMARY:Alan Lessik

SUMMARY:Kerry Egan: On Living
DESCRIPTION:erry Egan discusses her new book\, On Living with Victoria Sweet. \n\nPraise for On Living \n\nThere’s nothing preachy about this book\, nor is it at all depressing — although it is terribly moving. This is a poetic and philosophical and brave and uplifting meditation on how important it is to make peace and meaning of our lives while we still have them.—Elizabeth Gilbert\, author of Eat\, Pray\, Love \n\n“It’s a brave thing to walk into the rooms of the dying with no props–to sit down\, open your heart and your mind\, and be present to whatever comes up. But that’s exactly what chaplain Kerry Egan does\, and in On Living\, she reveals some of what she has learned. What does come up? Anger\, love\, regret\, secrets\, stories\, and insights\, well-told and well-felt.” —Victoria Sweet\, author of God’s Hotel \n\n“When I forget the importance of kindness\, when I forget to listen\, when I no longer recognize the comfort of a quiet presence\, when no words will help\, when I lose sight of what is most important\, I will want On Living within arm’s reach\, always. I love this book.” —Abigail Thomas\, author of A Three Dog Life and What Comes Next and How to Like It
