SUMMARY:Comedians Who Write: Sapna Kumar and Jason Stuart\, with Sandra Tsing Loh
DESCRIPTION:Red Hen Press presents “Comedians Who Write” with Sapna Kumar and Jason Stuart on Saturday\, December 3 at  7 p.m. at Red Hen Press’s venue in Pasadena. \nThese raucous out performers double as authors. Tonight\, they will entertain you with their comedy sets and then dish about their private writing lives with moderator Sandra Tsing Loh! You will also get a chance to buy signed copies of their books! \nAll attendees must be fully vaccinated and boosted and provide proof of such at the door prior to entry. Masks are strongly encouraged when not eating or drinking. \nWhen you think one of the most prolific character actors\, who’s also an outrageous openly gay stand-up comedian\, one name comes to mind…. Jason Stuart. As an actor he is best known for his major role as a slave owner in The Birth Of A Nation\, Recently he won The Indie Series Award For Best Actor In a Comedy Series for his Amazon comedy series on Smothered. Jason also has appeared in the award winning films Tangerine\, Love Is Strange\, Gia with Kindergarten Cop and Vegas Vacation among his fan favorites. He has wowed TV audiences with guest roles on such shows as Goliath\, Swedish Dicks\, Love (Judd Apatow)\, Sleepy Hollow\, Real Rob\, Entourage\, The Closer\, It’s Al-\ways Sunny in Philadelphia\, House\, Everybody Hates Chris\, George Lopez\, Will & Grace\, Charmed and as “Dr. Thomas” on My Wife and Kids. As a stand up comic he just won the Worldwide Comedy Award for Best LGBTQ comedian. And you have laughed with him on Gotham Comedy Live\, Red Eye\, One Night Stand Up\, Wisecrack\, Comics Unleashed and his own comedy special Making It To The Middle\, his new comedy album I’m The Daddy and I Have Candy and autobiography Shut Up\, Im Talking! From CCB Publishing.  \nSapna Kumar is an LA-based comedian who has been seen on ABC’s “Fresh Off the Boat\,” Netflix’s “I Think You Should Leave\,” Revry.TV’s “Easy Abby\,” and LOGO TV’s “One-Night Stand-Up.” As a writer\, she has been published in the magazines Sanskari\, Masalazine\, riksha\, and online in “Eat\, Darling\, Eat.” Currently\, she is working on her memoir\, “Curry in a Cornfield\,” which tells the haphazard journey of a child raised by raucous\, misbehaved Indian immigrant parents in a sleepy\, mostly white suburb of Indianapolis\, Indiana. In it she writes of her travels\, or travails rather: from her first love\, coming out as a lesbian\, her mental health foibles\, her ups and downs as a stand-up comic and actor\, to the loss of both of her parents in her early thirties. The reader is enticed to learn why this whiny\, colicky adult dares to become a grown-ass woman.

SUMMARY:Meet Ellen Meeropol at Lenox Library
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to host Northampton author Ellen Meeropol to discuss her new novel\, The Lost Women of Azalea Court\, on Wednesday\, October 12\, 2022 at 5:30 p.m.  Books will be available for purchase and signing courtesy of our friends at The Bookstore.  The event is free and open to the public. \nOn a chilly November morning\, 88 year old Iris Blum goes missing from Azalea Court\, a six-bungalow development on the gourds of a long closed state mental hospital in Northampton. Her husband\, Asher Boum\, was the last head psychiatrist at the hospital and is writing a book about the treatment of mental illness. Their daughter Lexi\, the neighbors\, and police detective McPhee suspect Dr. Blum of being involved in Iris’s disappearance. When the searches and interviews came up empty\, the neighbors dig into the past–Asher’s childhood experiences with anti-Nazi partisans in the forests of Poland\, unethical practices at the mental hospital \, and Iris’s mysterious best friend\, Harriet. The neighbors of Azalea Court are the narrators\, uncovering ghosts\, secrets\, and lies.

SUMMARY:Ellen Meeropol's LOST WOMEN OF AZALEA COURT Book Launch at Coolidge Museum
DESCRIPTION:Forbes Library and Broadside Bookshop present the launch of The Lost Women of Azalea Court by Ellen Meeropol In Conversation with Lisa Downing. \nAuthor’s Statement: \nThis novel begins on a chilly November morning\, when eighty-eight-year-old Iris Blum goes missing from Azalea Court\, a six-bungalow development on the grounds of a long-closed state mental hospital. Her husband\, Asher Blum\, was the last head psychiatrist at the hospital\, and he is writing a book about the treatment of mental illness. Their daughter Lexi\, the neighbors\, and police detective McPhee suspect Dr. Blum of being involved in Iris’s disappearance. When the searches and interviews come up empty\, the neighbor women dig into the past–Asher’s childhood experiences with anti-Nazi partisans in the forests of Poland\, unethical practices at the mental hospital\, and Iris’s mysterious best friend\, Harriet. Lexi\, the neighbor women\, a homeless woman who befriends Iris\, and Detective McPhee uncover the ghosts\, secrets\, and lies of the past; together\, they narrate this story. \nTo me\, this is a story about sisterhood and about how we treat mental illness and about taking care of each other despite our differences. It’s also about the sins of the past and trying to move beyond them. Or not. \nBooks will be available for sale. \nAttendance is limited to 50.
