Free Adult Guitar Class Expanded for Beginning Players
Have you always wanted to learn an instrument? This could be your time! We know educators are the quintessential life-long learners.
We introduced the Adult Guitar Class in April 2021 and it has gained enough buzz to grow from a few community members to a group of 25. Now that most of the original participants have a year or two under their belts, we're starting an all-new beginner class to welcome less experienced players.
The program is hybrid with weekly classes on Mondays, with one Monday a month in-person at LBC and the rest on Zoom. We've got classes in English and Spanish and, if you need to borrow a guitar, we've got you covered—for free!
Perhaps it's time to give yourself the gift of learning something new and what could be better than learning to play guitar?! Classes start on January 9, 2023. We hope to see you!

Cenicienta: A Bilingual Cinderella Story
by Glass Half Full Theatre
Thursday, February 23, 2023
9:30 am & 11:30 am
Grades K-6
Ten-year-old Latina Belinda is a budding poet and storyteller. While she’s stuck in the basement as her stepmother and stepsisters prepare for a party they’re hosting upstairs, Belinda reenacts her version of the classic tale Cinderella using creativity and everyday household objects—a napkin, a teapot, doilies, just to name a few. When Belinda learns that the party’s special guest is her hero, real life writer Gary Soto, she realizes she must stand up for herself and take charge of her dreams if she wants to share her writing with him. This captivating bilingual one-woman performance is a modern spin on the beloved fairy tale and tackles cultural heritage, family, and the power of language.

ARTS INTEGRATION RESIDENCY
Bringing Books to Life: Adapting Literature for the Stage
Instructor: Hannah Keefer
Grades: 4-12
Subjects: Drama, English Language Arts, Social Emotional Learning
In this residency, students will adapt a novel they’ve read in class into an abridged stage version. It’s all in their hands—they will choose the scenes, write the scripts, cast themselves, and create their own stage movement. Along the way, they’ll learn stage essentials, like projection and “cheating out” (to readjust the body with the audience in mind). Additional elements, such as costume design and stage combat may be included, based on the book.
