** This event is ongoing and weekly ** I host a weekly board game night in Clinton Hill, BKLYN (close to the C & G). Scrabble and Settlers of Catan are currently in heavy rotation. We drink good wine, listen to good music, and enjoy the witty repartee and energetic mockery that comes when overachievers play board games. If you're interested in checking it out, contact me. Let's try and beat the Princeton grad that writes crossword puzzles for the NYTimes by setting each other up for the triple word score ;) ANP JE'99

The play was inspired by Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth. Rachel Dickstein (JE '92) conceived, directed, and adapted the show. The New York Times calls Rachel a "maverick illusionist. " TheaterMania.com says, "This vibrant production is sure to please fans of Wharton's novels and provide an excellent introduction for those new to her work." Ambition. Betrayal. Glamour. Jealousy. Lily Bart’s search for wealth, power, and independence in turn-of-the-century New York society turns tragic when she gets caught in a web of deception, revenge and missed opportunity. Ripe Time celebrates the 100th anniversary of Wharton’s classic novel with an inspiring new adaptation driven by powerful physicality and stunning visuals.
