Our first discussion of 2019 will be around the fundamental challenges we see impacting our lives and the lives of others. We’ll share what keeps us up at night and how we can get involved in a positive way.

Featuring Elisa Camahort Page

An Off-Broadway Play

Based on the extraordinary life of Gloria Steinem, Gloria: A Life weaves together events from her 50 years in social and political activism. Starting from her early years as an audacious reporter and as a founder of Ms. Magazine, the play features personal stories of the people who inspired her, leading to her evolution into a woman who has inspired generations.

From the New York Times:

"The first act will be a six-character bio-play about her life and career as a feminist writer and activist; the second act will be a facilitated “talking circle” that includes the audience and a moderator."
