AUTHOR VISIT: ARYN LOCKHART
APRIL IS EARTH MONTH
Aryn Lockhart, local graphic designer and co-author of the book “Operation Babylift: Mission Accomplished: a memoir of hope and healing” will be speaking about her book and her experience as an Operation Babylift adoptee. The presentations will each have a different topic and theme. April 4 is the 41st Anniversary of the first official transport of the mass evacuation of children from South Vietnam to the United States, Canada and other European countries. In a tragic twist of events, the initial Babylift flight crashed resulting in 138 fatalities. Aryn was interviewed by NPR, was featured in a documentary, and has participated in several speaking engagements. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear Aryn in person and also sample some delicious Vietnamese snacks!
Many lawmakers, politicians, scientists and environmentalists worldwide believe that the scientific evidence for global warming is strong and action is crucial. Others say that global warming is scientifically unproven and that the earth periodically experiences climate change. Our display this month features opposing viewpoints on the topic of climate change.
APRIL 4, 3 & 7 P.M.

PARTENKIRCHEN HISTORIC WALKING TOUR APRIL 26
Never been a fan of Shakespeare? We’ll bet good money that you have matured and grown up a lot since your last exposure to the Bard. Maybe it is time to give it all another chance! What can anyone say? This 50-minute lecture is guaranteed to set you thinking about Shakespeare in a completely new way. After a short break, we will watch the excellent performance of the play with Mel Gibson, Glenn Close and Alan Bates. Death, madness, philosophy, evil, religion, renaissance perspective will all be discussed. Intellectual roller coaster rides for all!
Partenkirchen is the older of the two sides of Garmisch-Partenkirchen and therefore has a wealth of historic sights. Highlights include the “Plague Chapel” put up during the Thirty Years’ War, some great frescoes visible on many private homes, the State School for Woodworking, the Partenkirchen Kurpark, and some wonderful stories about Ludwig the Bavarian, Henry the Lion, and St. Mark. There is a good chance to have dinner or a drink afterwards for those who are interested.
MUNICH: THE DARK TOUR
SHAKESPEARE MARATHON: OTHELLO
APRIL 15 & 17
APRIL 27
This is the most ambitious introduction to the dark period of Munich’s history offered by any tour company! The tour starts with a two and half hour video and lecture about the rise of the Third Reich under Adolf Hitler in the city of Munich. On the following Sunday we take the train to Munich and walk the route of the “Bier Hall Putsch” and see nearly everything associated with this darkest period of Munich’s history.
“Demand me nothing!” Promise to deliver a shocking talk on the nature of love and evil in one of Shakespeare’s darkest plays. You may never trust your spouse again! Or anyone else for that matter. This play is an outrage to Plato and his philosophy. It is a disgrace to Christianity or indeed, any other religious position. Issues are introduced by Shakespeare that no one can elucidate. Lago is one of Shakespeare’s most frightening creations. Dare to sit in your seat unmoved by his behavior!
SHAKESPEARE IN PRAGUE WEEKEND
VENICE & VERONA WEEKEND
APRIL 22 - 24
APRIL 29 - MAY 1
Famously William Shakespeare, who probably never left the British Isles in his short lifetime, refers in his play “The Winter’s Tale” to the “Coast of Bohemia.” Great writer, the bard, - just not too accurate in his geography regarding the land-locked Bohemia! However, there is a reason to celebrate the 452nd Birthday as well as the 400th anniversary of his death on Saturday, 23 April in Prague. The Golden City is going to perform the opera “Romeo and Juliette” by Charles Gounod to celebrate its lack of a Bohemian coastline! The capital of the Czech Republic has the famous Charles Bridge, and Old Town Square, the beautiful St. Vitus Cathedral in the Old Castle and a wonderful tradition of music making by “Bohemians” of all stripes.
In just one short weekend, you will see both Venice and Verona! On Friday afternoon, we drive to Vicenza where we will spend the night. Early Saturday morning, we make the short train trip to Venice where we will see great art and architecture, the Accademia and the Scuola di San Rocco, pigeons in St. Mark’s Square, gondolas and more. We will again spend the night in Vicenza before our trip to Verona on Sunday. In Verona, we have the opportunity to tour the famous Romeo and Juliet city with its Roman Arena before dining at a wonderful restaurant.
