Any adult who has helped a learner—formally or informally—has access to two useful voices: a “Teacher Voice” that provides instruction, information, and sometimes step-by-step directions, and an “Executive Function Coach Voice” that invites thinking, problem-solving, and&nbsp;ownership.
Both are important. The key is knowing which voice the learner needs in the moment — when to step in with direction and when to step back and make room for&nbsp;thinking.
Join Forman School's Cognition and Learning Teacher and Executive Function Coach Robyn Greenspan, Cognition and Learning Head of Department Brittany Bloom-Price, and Director of Cognition and Learning Dr. Kristin Simmers as they share research-informed strategies that work for learners of all ages, with a&nbsp;focus&nbsp;on:
<ul><li>A clear, plain-language understanding of executive function&nbsp;coaching</li><li>How to recognize when to use Teacher Voice and EF Coach&nbsp;Voice</li><li>Specific language shifts that encourage thinking, problem-solving, and&nbsp;ownership</li><li>Practical strategies that can be used at home and at&nbsp;school</li></ul>

Works by Schubert, Gryc, and Brahms
Originally written as a single movement for another piece, “Notturno” is a work of nuanced beauty. This gem of a composition by the sublime lyricist Franz Schubert opens our 2026-27 season. “Dances and Nocturnes” was commissioned by New World in 1989 from Hartt composer Steven Gryc. Each of the seven fanciful movements can be considered “night music”, the dances being “dreams of dances”. The addition of a viola adds richness and depth to the overall texture, creating a “contemporary classic” piano quartet. Brahms’ op.8 trio was first written as a youthful composer of 21 and revised thirty-five years later, shortly before his death. This imposing, expansive work remains a cornerstone of the chamber music repertoire. Its classical structure combined with romantic expressionism certainly fits the weltgeist of Beethoven. “ Autumn Reflections” is being given in memory of William E Fuller.

After Multiple Sold-Out Performances in West Hartford, Parlor of Impossibilities is back!
Some evenings entertain you.
Others stay with you.
After a string of sold-out performances, Parlor of Impossibilities is back in West Hartford for an intimate theatrical experience unlike anything else in Connecticut.
Created by Las Vegas headliner Jason Bird, this isn't a traditional magic show. It's an elegant evening of mystery, psychology, impossible coincidences, and astonishing demonstrations of human perception, performed just feet from the audience in an intimate parlor setting.
With only 60 guests admitted to each performance, every reaction matters. Every impossible moment happens in full view. There are no camera tricks, no stooges, and nowhere for the impossible to hide.
For more than two decades, Jason Bird performed over 9,000 shows in Las Vegas, entertained more than one million people worldwide, and has appeared on television, including Fox,&nbsp;NBC's&nbsp;America's Got Talent, the CW's&nbsp;Masters of Illusion, and&nbsp;Penn &amp; Teller: Fool Us. But Parlor of Impossibilities is the show he's always wanted to create: sophisticated, immersive, thought-provoking, and unforgettable.
Guests don't simply leave asking, "How did he do that?"
They leave questioning what they know about wonder, illusion, the human mind, and the nature of reality itself.
Whether you're planning an unforgettable date night, celebrating a special occasion, or simply looking for something extraordinary, this is an evening you'll be talking about long after the final curtain.


Only 60 seats are available for each performance.
