Hosted in the boutique manufacturing facility of 48 Blocks Fine Candy, this is a rare opportunity to go beyond the tasting and into the architecture of the product.
Join our Principal Curator and the founder of Cafe Medrano as they deconstruct the technical artistry of their work—from the precise science of small-batch confectionery to the nuanced ritual of the perfect pour-over. Witness live demonstrations of the candy-making process and professional brewing techniques, while discovering the heritage and 'Origin Stories' that define our companies.

Alden Theatre

Ever wonder how others perceive you? “Seinfeld” writer Pat Hazell goes in search of his own “Permanent Record” in a confessional night at The Alden Theatre filled with humor, heart and humanity. Hazell hired an actual opposition research company to investigate his past, and he is now forced to define himself. Pat opens the vault to his faults, foibles and foul play to turn a stroll down Memory Lane into a high-speed chase down Memory Highway. If you can’t laugh at yourself, why not laugh at him? Saturday, May 9, 7 p.m. (ASL interpreted) $30 Standard/$25 Seniors/$20 MCC district residents.
