This course requires completion of Harmonica for Beginners or equivalent experience.

Disappearance, deception, and danger unfold on a trans-European train in one of Alfred Hitchcock’s most celebrated British thrillers. When an elderly governess vanishes mid-journey, only one fellow passenger believes she ever existed. As secrets unravel and suspicions mount, Hitchcock blends wit, romance, and suspense with masterful precision. Join us to unravel the mystery and explore Hitchcock’s genius in building tension and subverting expectations. "Come on, sit down, take it easy. What's the trouble?"

If you've already rocked our “Sing and Play Your Favorite Songs: Even if You’ve Never Touched a Piano or Read a Note of Music!” class — or if you already know how to play chords, read a lead sheet, and create simple accompaniments — it’s time to take your musical talents to the next level!

In this intimate, high-energy class, you’ll receive plenty of personal attention to sharpen your skills, boost your confidence, and expand your ability to accompany yourself or others with style and ease.

All you need is a keyboard or piano at home — and a love for making music! (And don’t worry — while we love a good sing-along, this class focuses on developing your playing skills, not your singing voice.)

Come build on your foundation and start bringing your favorite songs to life like never before!

Do you have bits and pieces of stories or ideas written on napkins, sticky notes, index cards, and journals--or even a book in the works? This class will help you put all of your ideas together and shape them into a well-written piece. In a writing workshop style, we will gather each week, share stories, and find ways to improve and move them along. So bring in your work(s) and let's start to shape and bring to life the story you have been envisioning.

Have you ever wanted to write a memoir but didn’t know where to start? In this workshop writer and educator, Frank Ingrasciotta will guide you on how to bring your life stories to the page. Storytelling is our most ancient art form and everyone has a story in us that wants to be told. When powerful storytelling resonates, it creates shared experiences of commonality that bonds us as a community. In this four-session memoir writing class, we will examine various aspects of storytelling. Through writing exercises, we will explore the tools of your personal expression that brings writing to life.

Charm meets menace in this psychological thriller starring Cary Grant and Joan Fontaine. A whirlwind romance leads to a shadowy marriage where love is clouded by lies and fear. Fontaine’s Oscar-winning performance anchors a story rich with ambiguity, as Hitchcock invites us to question everything we see—and everything we want to believe. Join us to unpack the film’s unsettling suspense, iconic visuals, and the controversial twist that still sparks debate today, and to understand why "each time they kissed... there was the thrill of love... the threat of murder!"
