Do you hate throwing something away and adding to a landfill because it is no longer working?  Do you wish you could see if it could be fixed?  Would you like to see if fixing something is something you could learn?  Register for the LHT Library’s first Fix-It Café!  We will have volunteers who will try to determine if your item can be fixed and then try to repair it with your help.  For our first Café, you can register for a time slot with items to be sewn, a bike that needs a chain repair, and most electric items not working such as a lamp or a toaster.  Once you register, if your item does not fit within the skills of the Fix-It Café volunteers, you will be notified. No one will be seen without an appointment.   Sponsored by Long Hill Township Public Library.

Though not a native New Yorker, Leonard Bernstein had a long association with the city of New York. He wrote three legendary Broadway Musicals celebrating the city he loved. Marc Courtade discusses On the Town, Wonderful Town and West Side Story, all three showcasing different aspects of “New York, New York, a helluva a town!” We will listen to musical examples, to examine the eras involved (1930’s with Wonderful Town, 1940’s with On the Town, and 1950’s with West Side Story) and how they reflect New York. We will also examine his “problem” musicals, Candide and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, which still show Bernstein’s strong musical voice even in flawed (though fascinating) settings.

Presented by Marc Courtade
