ACORN Extravaganza 2011
“A
Chance to Read in Company”
The
2011 Extravaganza, a celebration of Margaret Atwood’s Alias Grace, was
held on Friday, February 4, 2011, in the Alumni Room of the Dreyfus University
Center. Participants browsed displays on
quilting, Victorian spiritualism, and phrenology; shared perspectives on the
novel, and competed in a trivia contest (the winners: “24 and then some”). The evening also included a performance by
the Dance Education Center Tappers (choreographed by Elena Schneiderman), a
reading of the Trial of Grace Marks (David Arnold, Sarah Pogell, and G.
Christopher Williams), and music by John Coletta and Trevor Roark of the band
Green Tea. Join us next year!
