Experience the timeless power of Greek tragedy with Aeschylus’ The Eumenides. Orestes is haunted and cursed by the Furies, the goddesses of vengeance, after killing his mother to avenge his father. When he pleads with the goddess Athena for mercy, she gives Orestes a trial in Athens. With the god Apollo as prosecutor, and the first group of 12 citizens as a jury, discover why The Eumenides continues to resonate across centuries, offering a profound exploration of morality, fate, and the human condition.

Remember when you were eleven years old and had a bike, one that made you dream about a world bigger than the one in which you lived? This is that memory. Except it is now. What happens when we don’t know where we’re going? What happens when all we can think of is the bike? Embark on an unforgettable journey with The Red Bike by Caridad Svich, an examination of childhood dreams and the complexities of adulthood.
