SUMMARY:Avenue Q

SUMMARY:Caleb Weintraub: Both Sides of the Mirror
DESCRIPTION:Perry Lawson Fine Arts presents “Caleb Weintraub: Both Sides of the Mirror.” A new exhibition on view February 27-April 26\, 2026.  Weintraub’s work explores the tension between stability and disquiet\, treating the domestic space as both a source of comfort and the tension that unsettles it.

SUMMARY:The Book of Will
DESCRIPTION:Elmwood Playhouse presents\, The Book of Will.  March 13-April 11\, 2026.  Written by Lauren Gunderson.  Directed by Lisa Spielman.  Without William Shakespeare\, we wouldn’t have literary masterpieces like Romeo and Juliet. But without Henry Condell and John Heminges\, we would have lost half of Shakespeare’s plays forever! After the death of their friend and mentor\, the two actors are determined to compile the First Folio and preserve the words that shaped their lives. They’ll just have to borrow\, beg\, and band together to get it done.  Tickets on sale!  CLICK HERE for more information.

SUMMARY:Caleb Weintraub: Both Sides of the Mirror
DESCRIPTION:Perry Lawson Fine Arts presents “Caleb Weintraub: Both Sides of the Mirror.” A new exhibition on view February 27-April 26\, 2026.  Weintraub’s work explores the tension between stability and disquiet\, treating the domestic space as both a source of comfort and the tension that unsettles it. Within these layered environments\, observation becomes both subject and object; watching and being watched coexist as inseparable conditions. Blending figural and landscape sensibilities into imagined spaces\, Weintraub situates his imagery between memory and myth.  CLICK HERE for details.

SUMMARY:Advanced Negotiation Strategy to Protect Profit and Close Stronger Deals (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:From vendor and client agreements to pricing and hiring employees\, negotiations are a constant part of running a business. The terms you agree to directly affect the profit you keep\, the risk you assume\, your business relationships\, and your cash flow. Without a repeatable negotiation process\, agreements are made reactively\, putting your profits at risk. \nIn this advanced webinar\, you’ll learn how to approach negotiations with both a rational structure and awareness of the human dynamics that influence outcomes. We will examine frameworks that help bring structure and clarity\, along with the emotional and behavioral factors that often make and break a deal. We will also look at real business examples to show you how these principles apply in practical situations involving clients\, vendors\, partners\, and other high-stakes conversations. \nBy the end of this webinar\, you will be able to: \n\nUnderstand and apply foundational frameworks such as BATNA\, ZOPA\, and Harvard’s 7 Elements\nRecognize why logic alone often fails and navigate emotional triggers and behavioral biases more effectively\nUse tactical empathy techniques drawn from the Black Swan approach to reduce tension and move conversations toward agreement\nApply a practical negotiation preparation checklist to real-world scenarios involving clients\, vendors\, and partners\n\nClick HERE to register.
