Into the Woods is a 1986 musical by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine that intertwines the plots of several Brothers Grimm fairy tales, such as “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Jack and the Beanstalk”, “Rapunzel”, & “Cinderella”, exploring the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests. The musical is tied together by a story involving a childless baker and his wife and their quest to begin a family, their interaction with a witch who has placed a curse on them, and encounters with other storybook characters during their journey. The show covers multiple themes: growing up, parents and children, accepting responsibility, morality, and finally, wish fulfillment and its consequences.

Our November garden lecture series on Saturday, November 8, features renowned gardener, Bryce Lane, presenting “Landscapes That Save the World: The Importance of Biodiversity in the Garden.” When it comes to plants in the landscape, there is strength in diversity. All too often we don’t spend enough time thinking about how important it is to promote a well-balanced ecosystem in and around our home landscapes and gardens. This talk focuses on why it is important to create biodiverse outdoor spaces, and what we can do to achieve that goal. Topics include “plant blindness’, attracting wildlife, soil building, turf grass management, native plants, and more!

“A Vision for the Planet” – A Multimedia Experience by Jim Scott

Mixing powerful songs and striking projected images, “A Vision for the Planet” takes us from grieving to celebration and from protest to motivation to sustain life on our planetary home. Jim’s lyrical melodies and outspoken poetry celebrate what’s beautiful, amazing, and fragile about our Earth.

Jim has performed at more than 700 UU churches over four decades of travels and his songs are in our hymnbooks (Gather the Spirit). Formerly a member of the Paul Winter Consort, Jim was co-composer of their celebrated Missa Gaia/Earth Mass. He has gone on to tour the world and record nine CDs of original music. He was awarded an NEA grant to create and present this multimedia concert. One of the originators of the Unitarian Universalist “Green Sanctuary” program, Jim also compiled the Earth and Spirit Songbook.

Vegetarian appetizers and wine by donation will be served.
