SUMMARY:Intro To The Myth of Tea
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to the 5 major tea types and ceremonial tea.\nJoin us for an introduction to the five major types of tea; green\, white\, oolong\, black\, and dark tea. Together we will explore the origins of Camellia sinensis\, trace its history and cultural roots\, and experience the art of gongfu ceremonial tea service. This class is an invitation to step into the magic\, wonder\, and devotion that tea inspires\, while learning how its many expressions continue to connect us to the natural world and our human nature. \nThis gathering is offered with a suggested contribution of $35. In the spirit of inclusivity and balance\, you are welcome to offer what feels right for you\, whether that is $35\, $25\, or more if you have the means. Contributions above the suggested amount help make this experience accessible to those with financial need and sustain the ongoing care and energy poured into holding spaces like this. Every offering\, whether financial or energetic\, affirms the value of community supported education. \nWe also acknowledge the systemic barriers that have long limited access for BIPOC communities. To honor this\, a $15 option is available for BIPOC participants who would benefit from it. This is one way we commit to equity\, ensuring that diversity is not only welcomed but integral to the richness of the experience. \nIf the listed prices are still a barrier\, please reach out directly. I am more than willing to work with you to ensure that tea remains within reach for all who feel called to share in it. \nAll are welcome here. You are invited to arrive exactly as you are and take part in a space rooted in openness\, care\, and community\, a living space where each presence is honored and where we grow together through the deep\, transformative beauty of tea. \nTo help us hold a mindful and welcoming space\, we ask participants to be considerate of sensory sensitivities by avoiding strong fragrances. This is a space of gentle awareness\, where we honor our own needs as well as those of others. By showing up with openness\, care\, and respect for each other’s boundaries\, we create a collective meditative atmosphere where\, tea\, and community belonging can flourish. \nIn the spirit of reciprocity and uplifting community together\, five dollars from each participant will be donated to Q Center\, a nonprofit that supports LGBTQ2SIA+ communities through advocacy\, resources\, and safe spaces\, embodying tea’s spirit of connection\, reflection\, healing\, and belonging. \nThis class is led by D’Guar (they/them)\, a trans person of color\, tea guide\, and community builder based in Portland\, Oregon. D’Guar has devoted their path to exploring the spirit of Camellia sinensis through mindful practice\, storytelling\, and connection. Through their project Water Fairy Tea\, they create spaces where tea becomes a bridge between nature\, presence\, and belonging. Their offerings weave education with devotion\, inviting participants to meet tea not only as a beverage\, but as a living companion in self discovery and community care with nature and the world around. \nWe acknowledge that this work takes place on the traditional lands of the Multnomah\, Clackamas\, Chinook\, Kathlamet\, Tualatin\, Kalapuya\, Molalla\, and many other Indigenous ancestors and communities. We honor their enduring presence\, care\, and wisdom\, and offer gratitude to the land and to the people who have tended it since time immemorial.

SUMMARY:You Can't Take It With You - Lakewood Theatre Co.
DESCRIPTION:Written in 1936\, this light-hearted comedy has relevance for today in addressing the main theme of finding one’s own way in today’s complex society\, while lightly viewing such topics as distrust of government\, domestic terrorism and fear of foreign conflicts. \n“Grandpa” Vanderhof (Robert Lovitz) once worked in the competitive business world. One day\, he realized he was unhappy\, so he stopped working. Since then\, he spends his days catching and raising snakes\, watching graduation ceremonies\, visiting old friends\, and doing whatever else he wants. His daughter Penny (Marilyn Stacey) writes plays simply because a few years ago a typewriter was delivered to the house by accident. His son-in-law Paul Sycamore (Todd Hermanson) spends hours in the basement making illegal fireworks and playing with erector sets. His granddaughter Essie (Bonnie Auguston) sells candy and has been clumsily attempting ballet for over eight years. His grandson-in-law Ed Carmichael (Aiden Brown) plays the xylophone (or tries to) and accidentally distributes Marxist propaganda. \nJoining this free-for-all are Rheba (Caren Graham)\, the household cook; her unemployed boyfriend\, Donald (Shaun Hennessy); Essie’s opinionated Russian ballet instructor\, Mr. Kolenkhov (Mark Schwahn); Olga (Trisha Todd)\, a Russian Grand Duchess; Gay Wellington (Adrienne Southard)\, a heavy-drinking actress; Wilbur C. Henderson (Douglas Hout)\, a forlorn IRS employee; and Mr. De Pinna (Danny Bruno)\, a deliveryman who arrived 8 years ago and decided to stay. He now helps with the fireworks and dresses in Roman togas to pose for Penny’s portraits. All is somewhat calm until three men from the government (Christopher Sparks\, Dan Weiss\, and Erik James) visit to investigate Ed’s flyers. \nIn this crazy mix of characters\, there is also Alice (Taylor Jean Grady)\, Penny and Paul’s other daughter and\, apparently\, the only “normal” family member. She met Tony Kirby (Noah Matthew Rich) at his dad’s Wall Street investment firm\, and they’ve fallen in love. Culture shock and fireworks fly when Mr. Kirby (Jeremy Southard) and Mrs. Kirby (Wendy Martel) come to visit. But the message is clear: “Life’s pretty simple if you just relax\,” as Grandpa puts it. \nYou Can’t Take It With You is directed by Don Alder. Set design is by Chris Whitten\, lighting design is by Demetri Pavlatos\, costume design is by Janelle Sutton\, prop design is by Allen R. Phillips\, the stage manager is Alex Salem\, the assistant stage manager is Nat Weinham\, and the producer is Steve Knox. \nSept. 11 – Oct. 18\, 2026\nWednesdays\, Thursdays\, Fridays\, & Saturdays at 7:30 PM\nSunday Matinees and Saturday matinees on Sept 26 & October 10 at 2:00 PM
