The Pear Theatre

In this sparkling comedy of manners, two former lovers find themselves honeymooning with new spouses in adjoining rooms—only to discover that their passion for each other hasn’t dimmed. As they abandon convention for a reckless reunion, they expose the absurdities of polite society and the fragile structures that hold it together. With razor-sharp wit and irresistible charm, the play asks whether civility is merely a performance—and whether love is ever meant to be tamed.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Playing through October 11 (Friday, Saturday, Sunday)Use promo code HOPE10 for a 10% discount off the ticket price.

Westhope Presbyterian Church

Family caregiving can be one of life’s most meaningful—and most challenging—roles. While many of us will become caregivers at some point, few feel fully prepared when the responsibility arrives.
This one-time workshop will offer practical guidance and support from a physician, social worker, registered nurse, and pastor. Fellow caregivers will share their experiences, and participants will receive self-care suggestions, helpful resources, and opportunities to connect with others who understand the caregiving journey.
Presenters include Dr. Gary Lee, geriatric, hospice, and palliative care physician; Danette Flippin, geriatric social worker; Donna Bell, registered nurse and parish nurse; and Rev. Erik Swanson, senior pastor at Westhope Presbyterian Church.
