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.

Walk for Mental Health. Walk for Hope. Walk for Our Community.
NAMI Santa Clara County invites the community to come together for NAMIWalks Silicon Valley 2026 on Saturday, October 3, 2026, at History Park in San Jose.
NAMIWalks is more than a walk. It is a day of connection, hope, and community action to raise awareness about mental health, fight stigma, and remind individuals and families affected by mental health conditions that they are not alone.
Mental health touches all of us—our families, friends, workplaces, schools, and communities. By walking together, we can help create a Santa Clara County where conversations about mental health are welcomed, people feel comfortable asking for help, and everyone has access to support when they need it.
NAMIWalks Silicon Valley is free and open to everyone. Individuals, families, friends, companies, schools, community organizations, and teams are all encouraged to participate. Whether you walk in honor of someone you love, in support of your own mental health journey, or simply because you believe mental health matters, we invite you to join us.
Funds raised through NAMIWalks help NAMI Santa Clara County continue providing free mental health education, support groups, advocacy, and resources to individuals and families throughout our community.

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.
