| Play Reading Party |
|
We'll read Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing, a short two-act comedy which won the Tony® Award for Best Play in 1984 and the Tony® Award for Best Revival of a Play in 2000. Refreshments will be served between acts and each participant will receive an acting edition of the script, generously donated by Samuel French, inc. We'll take turns reading the seven characters' parts alternating for each of the twelve scenes. This intellectually and emotionally engaging backstage comedy portrays an articulate and romantically idealistic playwright whose second wife is trying to merge worthy causes with her art as an actress. She has met a "political prisoner" named Brodie who has been jailed for radical thuggery, and who has written an inept play about how property is theft, how the state stifles the rights of the individual, etc., etc., etc. Henry's wife wants him to make the play work theatrically, which he does after much soul searching. Eventually, though, he is able to convince his wife that Brodie is emphatically not a victim of political repression; he is, in fact, a thug. And while this hilariously transpires, Henry's concepts of love, marriage and fidelity are tested as surely as his writing skills. "So packed with wit, ideas and feelings ... Stoppard's most moving play and the most bracing play anyone has written about love and marriage in years." - The New York Times. | 8 | 0 | 000030.0 | 30 | .0002E7 | 20 | 1/11/14 7:00 PM |

Join a group of UCE friends for an evening out at Charlie's Chicago, 3726 Broadway on Monday, Dec. 2. Charlie's is a Country Western dance bar whose clientele is primarily gay male but is welcoming to everyone. Free dance lessons are offered every Monday, but it can be challenging to go the first time on your own. So we will all go on the same night, carpool from UCE’s parking lot (or ride CTA to the Addison Red Line stop if you prefer) and arrive at Charlie's by 7:30pm. Take a beginner line dance lesson at 7:45pm. Or buy a drink, sit back and watch the fun. At about 8:40pm, you can take a class in Country Western Two-Step, a couples’ dance. Enjoy music and dancing until we head home at 9:45pm. We are also offering a Two Step preview-class at 5:30pm at UCE the Sunday evening before our trip to Charlie’s. Note: your tour guides will provide never-empty pitchers of water for you during the evening; you buy your own alcohol or sodas (which are reasonably priced).

| Gregory Shifrin Recital |
If you’re like us, when you listen to Gregory play on Sunday morning, you think: "I’d love to hear that again." Now, you can. Gregory will play a private, informal recital in our home. The selections will be chosen by the attendees from a list that Gregory will supply, of many of the pieces he has performed on Sunday morning. Wine and hors d'oeuvres will be served throughout the evening; the concert will be informal, interspersed with an occasional hymn we sing together, and by remarks by Gregory. Some may want to share why they chose the piece they chose. But in any case it should be a beautiful celebration of music and friendship and good food. In our minds, it will be a celebration of Gregory Shifrin, a man who has come to mean so much to us not only for his consummate artistry, but also for the warmth and grace he brings to us and to our church family. We will gather on Saturday, September 13, 2014, 6:30-9:30 pm. | 10 | 2 | 000100.0 | 100 | .0008E7 | 80 | 9/13/14 6:30 PM | |
