9781250007131_p0_v6_s260x420Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation
Bill Nye, Friday November 7 @ 7pm

33 East 17th Street, New York, NY 10003

Bill Nye is so well-known as “the Science Guy” that he has appeared as himself on The Big Bang Theory. Undeniable proves that mere celebrity has not weakened either his intellect or his ability to communicate clearly. His grand tour of evolution demonstrates that this process is not only real; it is still unfolding. In lively, sometimes even humorous style, he displays his debate-winning ability to clarify without overreaching as he describes not only what evolution is, but what it so fascinates us. A winning, accessible read.

Stephen King, Tuesday, November 11th @ 12pm
33 East 17th Street, New York, NY 10003

When the new minister arrived in town, little Jamie Morton was swept away by emotion. He was not the only one: Almost everyone in the tiny Maine hamlet fell in love with preacher Charles Jacobs, his beautiful wife, or both of them. Things change all too suddenly when Mrs. Jacobs and her baby die in a gruesome auto accident. Half crazed, the reverend curses God, is banished from the town, and thereafter pursues successive supercharged careers as a sideshow huckster, a faith healer, and a mad scientist. Decades later when Jamie and his former friend again cross paths, all the explosive elements of this archetypal Stephen King novel fall into place. Born to be a number one bestseller.

 

The Moth
New York StorySLAM
Various locations at various times/dates

The Moth is an acclaimed not-for-profit organization dedicated to the art and craft of storytelling. It is a celebration of both the raconteur, who breathes fire into true tales of ordinary life, and the storytelling novice, who has lived through something extraordinary and yearns to share it. At the center of each performance is, of course, the story – and The Moth’s about-mothdirectors work with each storyteller to find, shape and present it.
Since its launch in 1997, The Moth has presented thousands of stories, told live and without notes, to standing-room-only crowds worldwide.

Moth shows are renowned for the great range of human experience they showcase. Each show starts with a theme, and the storytellers explore it, often in unexpected ways. Since each story is true and every voice authentic, the shows dance between documentary and theater, creating a unique, intimate, and often enlightening experience for the audience.

Moth stories dissolve socio-economic barriers, expose vulnerabilities, and quietly suggest ways to overcome challenges and see with new eyes.
