SUMMARY:"Shy": Inside a Musical Theatre Dynasty with Adam Guettel - son of Broadway Royalty\, Mary Rogers
DESCRIPTION:“Both a joyful chronicle of a life well lived and a box-seat view on some of the best\, brightest\, and most idiosyncratic creative minds of the 20th century.” —Leah Greenblatt\, Entertainment Weekly \nJoin the Charleston Library Society to welcome the Tony award-winning composer and lyricist from one of the most prolific musical theatre dynasties of the 20th century\, Adam Guettel. As the grandson of Richards Rodgers and son of Mary Rodgers\, Guettel will tell the story of his powerhouse grandfather and inspirationally larger than life mother. The intimate stories and memories are set through the context established in his late mother’s memoir\, Shy: The Alarmingly Outspoken Memoirs of Mary Rodgers\, co-written by Jesse Green\, the chief theater critic of The New York Times. \nOur Executive Director\, and music enthusiast\, Anne Cleveland\, will join Guettel in conversation as we delve into Shy\, musical theatre\, show business\, and more. Guettel’s carrying of the family’s musical theatre torch and storytelling will surely delight anyone with appreciation for this American family with legacies larger than any one person. \nTickets are $10 for members and $15 for guests. Free for students by calling the number listed below and showing a valid ID at check in.\nTo purchase tickets\, click here or call 843-723-9912.\nOrder “Shy: The Alarmingly Outspoken Memoirs of Mary Rodgers” from Buxton Books in advance by clicking HERE. \nAbout the Book:\nThe memoirs of Mary Rodgers—writer\, composer\, Broadway royalty\, and “a woman who tried everything.” \n“What am I\, bologna?” Mary Rodgers (1931–2014) often said. She was referring to being stuck in the middle of a talent sandwich: the daughter of one composer and the mother of another. And not just any composers. Her father was Richard Rodgers\, perhaps the greatest American melodist; her son\, Adam Guettel\, a worthy successor. What that leaves out is Mary herself\, also a composer\, whose musical Once Upon a Mattress remains one of the rare revivable Broadway hits written by a woman. \nShy is the story of how it all happened: how Mary grew from an angry child\, constrained by privilege and a parent’s overwhelming gift\, to become not just a theater figure in her own right but also a renowned author of books for young readers (including the classic Freaky Friday) and\, in a final grand turn\, a doyenne of philanthropy and the chairman of the Juilliard School. \nBut in telling these stories—with copious annotations\, contradictions\, and interruptions from Jesse Green\, the chief theater critic of The New York Times—Shy also tells another\, about a woman liberating herself from disapproving parents and pervasive sexism to find art and romance on her own terms. Whether writing for Judy Holliday or Rin Tin Tin\, dating Hal Prince or falling for Stephen Sondheim over a game of chess at thirteen\, Rodgers grabbed every chance possible—and then some. \nBoth an eyewitness report from the golden age of American musical theater and a tale of a woman striving for a meaningful life\, Shy is\, above all\, a chance to sit at the feet of the kind of woman they don’t make anymore—and never did. They make themselves. \n“I’ve never read [a book about Broadway] more entertaining (and more revealing) than Mary Rodgers’s Shy. Her voice careens between intimate\, sardonic\, confessional\, comic. The book is pure pleasure — except when it’s jaw-droppingly shocking.” —Daniel Okrent\, The New York Times Book Review \nAbout Mary Rodgers:\nMary Rodgers (1931–2014) was an accomplished composer\, author\, and screenwriter. She was the author of the novel Freaky Friday and its 1976 screenplay adaptation\, and of several other novels. Rodgers also wrote the music for Once Upon a Mattress\, which was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Musical. She lived in New York City until her passing. \nAbout Adam Guettel:\nAdam Guettel is a composer/lyricist. Theatre includes The Light in the Piazza (2005; Tony Awards for Best Original Score and best orchestrations; Grammy Award nomination for Best Musical Theater Album; cast album on Nonesuch Records)\, Floyd Collins (1996 at Playwrights Horizons; Lucille Lortel Award for Best Musical\, Obie Award for Best Music; cast album on Nonesuch Records)\, and Saturn Returns (1998 at The Public Theater; recorded by Nonesuch Records as Myths and Hymns). Other awards include the Stephen Sondheim Award (1990)\, the ASCAP New Horizons Award (1997)\, and the American Composers Orchestra Award (2005). He received and honorary doctorate from Lehman College in 2007 and was made a member of the Royal Academy of Music in 2019. \nHis latest musical\, Millions\, is being developed by Sonia Friedman  Productions in the U.K.

SUMMARY:"The Grimkes: The Legacy of Slavery in an American Family" by Kerri K. Greenidge
DESCRIPTION:The Library Society and Buxton Books are thrilled to host Kerri K. Greenidge\, Tufts University professor and author of The Grimkes: The Legacy of Slavery in an American Family. \nCome join us on November 18th at 6pm here at CLS for this contemporary perspective of a prominent South Carolinian family\, the Grimkes\, and a historical narrative that has long since been overshadowed and\, in some places\, forgotten. \nTickets are $10 for members and $15 for guests. This event is free for students by calling the number listed and showing a valid ID at check in.\nTo purchase tickets\, click here or call 843-723-9912.\nOrder “The Grimkes” from Buxton in advance by clicking HERE.\n \nBuxton Books is offering $5 as a gift when purchasing The Grimkes at the event. \nAbout the Book:\nSarah and Angelina Grimke—“the Grimke sisters”—are revered figures in American history\, famous for rejecting their privileged lives on a plantation in South Carolina to become firebrand activists in the North. Their anti-slavery pamphlets\, among the most influential of the antebellum era\, are still read today. Yet retellings of their epic story have long obscured their Black relatives. In The Grimkes\, award-winning historian Kerri Greenidge presents a parallel narrative\, indeed a long-overdue corrective\, shifting the focus from the white abolitionist sisters to the Black Grimkes\, and deepening our understanding of the long struggle for racial and gender equality. \nRead more… \nAbout Kerri Greenidge:\nKerri K. Greenidge is Mellon Assistant Professor in the Department of Studies in Race\, Colonialism\, and Diaspora at Tufts University. She is the author of Black Radical: The Life and Times of William Monroe Trotter\, winner of the Mark Lynton History Prize. She lives in Massachusetts.

SUMMARY:Revealing the True Legal System of Jim Crow // Buxton Books + CLS present Margaret Burnham
DESCRIPTION:Please come join Buxton Books and CLS as we invite in Margaret Burnham\, civil rights lawyer\, to discuss with us her new book By Hands Now Known. \nTickets are $10 for CLS members and $15 for guests. Free for students by calling the number listed below and showing a valid ID at check in.\nTo purchase tickets\, click here or call 843-723-9912.\nOrder “By Hands Now Known” from Buxton Books in advance by clicking HERE.\n \nBonus! Buxton Books is offering a $5 gift to all who attend the program to go towards the purchase of Burnham’s book! \nAbout Margaret A. Burnham:\nMargaret Burnham is the founding director of the Civil Rights and Restorative Justice Project at Northeastern University\, and has been a staffer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee\, a civil rights lawyer\, a defense attorney\, and a judge. A professor of law\, she was nominated by President Biden and confirmed by the US Senate to serve on the Civil Rights Cold Case Records Review Board. She lives in Boston\, Massachusetts. \nAbout the Book:\nBy Hands Now Known challenges our understanding of the Jim Crow era by exploring the relationship between formal law and background legal norms in a series of harrowing cases from 1920 to 1960. From rendition\, the legal process by which states make claims to other states for the return of their citizens\, to battles over state and federal jurisdiction and the outsize role of local sheriffs in enforcing racial hierarchy\, Burnham maps the criminal legal system in the mid-twentieth-century South\, and traces the unremitting line from slavery to the legal structures of this period\, through to today. \nDrawing on an extensive database\, collected over more than a decade and exceeding 1\,000 cases of racial violence\, she reveals the true legal system of Jim Crow\, and captures the memories of those whose stories have not yet been heard.

SUMMARY:Takénobu Music at the Library
DESCRIPTION:This intimate and listening room style concert brings together the talented Atlanta-based musical duo\, Takénobu\, to Charleston’s intellectual and cultural living room. Composed of cellist and composer Nick Ogawa\, and violinist and vocalist Kathryn Koch\, Takénobu will help turn the Library Society’s Main Reading Room into a space of positivity and relaxation through music. Celebrating their recently released album\, Always Leave a Note\, the duo will showcase their uniqueness of contemporary chamber-pop evolution while performing from their entire catalog of dreamy and dramatic instrumental pieces. \nTickets are $25 for members and $35 for guests. Free for students by calling the number listed below and showing a valid ID at check in.\nTo purchase tickets\, click here or call 843-723-9912. \nAbout Nick Ogawa and Kathryn Koch:\nOgawa and Koch—who share a love for music and animals—met a few years ago while working for the same dog-walking company (the only non-music job either has had in the past decade). In the one-room studio behind their house\, this talented husband and wife wrote\, produced\, engineered and played every instrument on their newest Always Leave a Note album. \nTwo years ago “was an opportunity for self-awareness\, to take a step back\, and consider what really matters most\,” Ogawa says. “But at the same time\, it was so tragic and hard to reconcile—I could see all the suffering happening. I just feel fortunate that Kathryn and I were able to throw ourselves into making music and ultimately create something hopeful out of such a [COVID] dark period.” \nOgawa started playing the cello at age 6\, writing songs in high school\, and continued through his days at Pennsylvania Liberal Arts college Haverford. After graduation\, he lived briefly in Japan and Vancouver before moving to New York to more seriously pursue music. In 2006\, at 24\, he won the Williamsburg Live Singer-Songwriter Contest\, and used the prize money to finance 2007’s forlorn and meditative album Introduction\, his first release as Takénobu. In addition to it being his middle name\, the moniker is a combination of the Japanese Kanji of his father’s and grandfather’s names. Loosely translated\, it means “iron will.” \nTo learn more about Ogawa and Koch check out these links below:\nTakenobumusic.com\nFacebook.com/takenobumusic\nBandcamp: listen.takenobumusic.com\nIG: @takenobumusic\nYoutube: youtube.com/takenobumusic ; “Got to Get By”

SUMMARY:"Afternoons with Harper Lee" in the Evening with Wayne Flynt
DESCRIPTION:This is a perfect example of an event where we as an institution\, and as an audience\, will get a peak behind the curtain and into the mind of one of America’s most cherished authors. The incredible friendship between Wayne Flynt and Harper Lee\, and both their families\, became somewhat of a retrospective on how friends can change our lives and why friendships are so important to us all.  \nCome join us on Tuesday\, December 13th at 6pm where we have invited Flynt to discuss the elements of multigenerational friendships\, perspective changes\, and the processing of memory and community.  \nTickets are $10 for CLS members and $15 for guest. Free for students by calling the number listed below and showing a valid ID at check in.\nTo purchase tickets\, please click here or call 843-723-9912.\nOrder “Afternoons with Harper Lee” in advance from Buxton Books by clicking HERE. \nAbout the Book:\nLee and Flynt: The Story of a Friendship – Do you remember how you met your best friend?  Was it fate\, providence\, or pure serendipity?  Friendship derives from many sources: childhood\, college\, church\, book club acquaintances\, work places. It sometimes can be traced to common interests\, isolation\, loneliness\, or even dependency.  This is the story of one intimate and entirely unpredictable friendship between Dartie and Wayne Flynt\, Harper Lee\, and Lee’s two sisters. \nImagine sitting with an esteemed writer on his or her front porch somewhere in the world and swapping life stories. Dr. Wayne Flynt got the opportunity to do just this with Nelle Harper Lee. In a friendship that blossomed over a dozen years starting when Lee relocated back to Alabama after having had a stroke\, Flynt and his wife Dartie became regular visitors at the assisted living facility that was Lee’s new home. And there the conversation began. It began where it always begins with Southern storytellers\, with an invitation to “Come in\, sit down\, and stay a while.” The stories exchanged ranged widely over the topics of Alabama history\, Alabama folklore\, family genealogy\, and American literature\, of course. On the way from beginning to end there were many detours: talks about Huntingdon College; The University of Alabama; New York City; the United Kingdom; Garden City\, Kansas; and Mobile\, Alabama\, to name just a few. Wayne and his wife were often joined by Alice Lee\, the oldest Lee sister\, a living encyclopedia on the subject of family genealogy\, and middle sister Louise Lee Conner. The hours spent visiting\, in intimate closeness\, are still cherished by Wayne Flynt. They yielded revelations large and small\, which have been shaped into Afternoons with Harper Lee. Part memoir\, part biography\, this book offers a unique window into the life and mind and preoccupations of one of America’s best-loved writers. Flynt and Harper Lee and her sisters learned a great deal from each other\, and though this is not a history book\, their shared interest in Alabama and its history made this extraordinary work possible. \nAbout the Author:\nWayne Flynt is a Southern historian and educator who retired after teaching for decades at Auburn University\, where he directed more than sixty graduate programs. He has lectured at Sichuan University in China\, at Queen’s University\, Belfast\, Northern Ireland\, at the universities of Newcastle\, Oxford\, Cambridge\, and Sussex in Great Britain\, at the Franklin Roosevelt Center in The Netherlands\, and at the University of Vienna. He is the author of fourteen books dealing with Southern politics\, history\, white poverty\, and culture (religion\, art\, music\, literature). His numerous awards include the Rembert Patrick Award for Florida History\, the Lillian Smith Prize for Nonfiction from the Southern Regional Council\, the Alabama Library Association Award for nonfiction (three times)\, the C. Vann Woodward/John Hope Franklin Prize by the Fellowship of Southern Writers\, the F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald Museum Award for Excellence in Writing\, a nomination for the Pulitzer Prize (1989)\, and the Alabama Governor’s Award for the Arts.

SUMMARY:CLS Book Club: The Marriage Portrait - Maggie O'Farrell
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Charleston Library Society’s first CLS Book Club of 2023! \nThis Winter 2023 CLS Book Club selection is The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O’Farrell. New York Times bestselling author of award-winning Hamnet\, O’Farrell\, brings the world of Renaissance Italy to jewel-bright life in this unforgettable fictional portrait of the captivating young duchess Lucrezia de’ Medici as she makes her way in a troubled court. \nCLS Book Club is open to all — whether you just finished the book\, you’re half-way through\, or you are contemplating whether or not to move the selection higher on your “To Be Read” list this discussion group has a space for you. \nThis event is free and open to the public with RSVP. To RSVP\, fill out the form at the bottom of this page. \nABOUT THE BOOK:\nFlorence\, the 1550s. Lucrezia\, third daughter of the grand duke\, is comfortable with her obscure place in the palazzo: free to wonder at its treasures\, observe its clandestine workings\, and devote herself to her own artistic pursuits. But when her older sister dies on the eve of her wedding to the ruler of Ferrara\, Modena and Reggio\, Lucrezia is thrust unwittingly into the limelight: the duke is quick to request her hand in marriage\, and her father just as quick to accept on her behalf. \nHaving barely left girlhood behind\, Lucrezia must now enter an unfamiliar court whose customs are opaque and where her arrival is not universally welcomed. Perhaps most mystifying of all is her new husband himself\, Alfonso. Is he the playful sophisticate he appeared to be before their wedding\, the aesthete happiest in the company of artists and musicians\, or the ruthless politician before whom even his formidable sisters seem to tremble? \nAs Lucrezia sits in constricting finery for a painting intended to preserve her image for centuries to come\, one thing becomes worryingly clear. In the court’s eyes\, she has one duty: to provide the heir who will shore up the future of the Ferranese dynasty. Until then\, for all of her rank and nobility\, the new duchess’s future hangs entirely in the balance. \nFull of the beauty and emotion with which she illuminated the Shakespearean canvas of Hamnet\, Maggie O’Farrell turns her talents to Renaissance Italy in an extraordinary portrait of a resilient young woman’s battle for her very survival. \n“O’Farrell pulls out little threads of historical detail to weave this story of a precocious girl sensitive to the contradictions of her station … You may know the history\, and you may think you know what’s coming\, but don’t be so sure.“ —The Washington Post \nABOUT THE AUTHOR:\nMAGGIE O’FARRELL was born in Northern Ireland in 1972. Her novels include Hamnet (winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award)\, After You’d Gone\, The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox\, The Hand That First Held Mine (winner of the Costa Novel Award)\, and Instructions for a Heatwave. She has also written a memoir\, I Am\, I Am\, I Am: Seventeen Brushes with Death. She lives in Edinburgh.
