In the Living Room – Each month a play is performed, we invite you to join us in the “living room” at the Empire Arts Center, when we enjoy a discussion with local scientists who will share information about ag-science, A.I., physics, nutritional science, chemistry, and marine biology.  No cost to attend due to an Arts Re-grant from the City of GF.

Join us for a Living Room Conversation about Empire Theatre Company’s production of “Copenhagen” By Michael Freyn.
