Documenting China, Contemporary Photography and Social Change is a Smithsonian Institution traveling exhibit.
The exhibit encompasses three eras of change in China, which is a

changing so rapidly. Apart from Hinkley’s experience abroad, the
exhibit also includes views of more recent change in China through an
exhibit on loan from Bates College Museum of Art and the Smithsonian
Institution Traveling Exhibition Service from April 11 to June 7, 2009.

 | A Christmas Carol - School Matinee Series
11:00 AM - 1:30 PM
If you think A Christmas Carol is an old chestnut…if you think audiences can’t be thrilled anew by the greatest of all ghost stories…think again. In this adaptation by The Foothill Theatre Company and Philip C. Sneed, the story’s the thing that makes Scrooge, Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit and the Spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Future come alive. It’s a tale of how isolation and self-interest withers the soul—a trajectory that can be reversed and redeemed only by embracing and contributing to the greater good.
CSF Education offers special performances for school groups to attend our production of A Christmas Carol, adapted from the classic novel by Charles Dickens. These weekday performances are a great way to introduce students to live theater at a reduced price. The show runs approximately two hours (including intermission) and is followed by an optional talkback with the actors. A study guide will be provided to prepare teachers and students for the production. Appropriate for ages 5 and up.

 | Rethinking Minoan Palaces
7:00 PM
Dr. Donald Preziosi (Oxford University) will be discussing new theories about Minoan palaces.
Recent field studies of anomalies in the design of Minoan buildings and settlements have raised questions about the significance of orientations and alignments of major civic structures. This illustrated talk discusses these problems and gives some tentative conclusions about the relationships of Crete to other societies in the Eastern Mediterranean in the Bronze Age.
