Through first-person testimony filmed in Nepal, Volunteers Needed&nbsp;The Film powerfully reveals The Orphan Trap - the cycle of orphanage trafficking and voluntourism where well-meaning volunteers and donors create demand that funds a multi-billion-dollar industry that commodifies children. Of the 5,000,000 children living in orphanages it's estimated that a full 80% have at least one living parent. This film shows how the desire to help often separates children from their families. The screening, brought to you in partnership with Freedom United, on October 28 at the Cantor Film Centre, NYC, will be followed by a Q&amp;A with the Director Barak Laub, Dr Katharine Thompson, founder of the Amani Foundation in Tanzania, and Gina de la Chesnaye, founder of The Nachan Project in Uganda. <a href="https://donorbox.org/events/971648/steps/enter_details?location_id=" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">donorbox.org/events/971648/steps/enter_details?location_id=</a>

Caveat

Vice President JD Vance needs to come clean. He’s been pretending to be someone he’s not for far too long. Luckily, he has a chance to rewrite his old wrongs and his old memoir in his own one-man show. Hillbilly Allegedly tells the real story of JD Vance, and what made him change his mind and support Donald Trump. From growing up in Ohio to where his money came from for a Congressional campaign to why he’s the only logical choice for president in 2028…everything will be revealed!
Starring comedian and Vance impersonator Dan Wilbur plus special guest President Donald Trump (JL Cauvin)
Dan Wilbur is a comedian and author whose work has been featured in The Onion, McSweeney’s, MTV, Funny or Die, The Today Show, and Comedy Central’s @Midnight. His videos parodying the current Vice President JD Vance have amassed tens of millions of views across social media, and have been shared by legendary comedians and journalists alike. He is the author of two humor books, How Not to Read (Penguin) and Never Flirt with Puppy Killers (Simon &amp; Schuster). His first comedy album Husband Material plays regularly on Sirius XM. I recently opened for Patton Oswalt around the Midwest and at the Beacon Theatre in NYC.Doors 9:00 PM Show 9:30 PM

Light &amp; Darkness Elaine Hagenberg: Illuminare Ralph Vaughan Williams: Dona Nobis Pacem Saint Andrew Chorale &amp; Orchestra Katherine Wessinger, soprano; Rod Gomez, baritone Andrew Henderson, conductor
The Saint Andrew Chorale opens its 62nd season with two glorious choral works of the 20th and 21st Centuries. Hagenberg’s Illuminare has quickly gained a place in the modern choral repertoire, set to a compilation of sacred and poetic text in Latin and English, the piece draws on themes of light overcoming darkness. Vaughan Williams’s Dona Nobis Pacem (“Grant us peace”) is a profound plea for peace in a troubled world, setting texts from the Latin Mass alongside poetry by Walt Whitman reflecting on the horrors of war and the hope for reconciliation.
