SUMMARY:Chautauqua Theater Company presents Execution of Justice
DESCRIPTION:Written and Directed by Emily Mann  \nIt’s 1978\, and San Francisco is a divided city. The brutal murders of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk—the nation’s first openly gay elected official—shocked a nation. This gripping documentary play examines the trial of Dan White\, the disgruntled former city supervisor whose reduced voluntary manslaughter conviction\, rather than murder in the first degree\, sparked outrage and introduced the infamous “Twinkie defense.” Ripped from the headlines\, personal interviews\, and court documents of the past but still resonating powerfully today\, this play confronts themes of justice\, prejudice\, and privilege and grapples with the issues of gun violence and systemic homophobia. This contemporary classic challenges us to reflect on our identity as a nation. \nRecommended for audiences ages 13 and older.

SUMMARY:Cat Bohannon
DESCRIPTION:Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle Presentation — Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution by Cat Bohannon \nHow did the female body drive 200 million years of human evolution? Why do women live longer than men? Why are women more likely to get Alzheimer’s? Why do girls score better at every academic subject than boys until puberty\, when suddenly their scores plummet? Is sexism useful for evolution? And why\, seriously why\, do women have to sweat through our sheets every night when we hit menopause?  \nThese questions are producing some truly exciting science – and in Eve\, with boundless curiosity and sharp wit\, Cat Bohannon covers the past 200 million years to explain the specific science behind the development of the female sex: “We need a kind of user’s manual for the female mammal. A no-nonsense\, hard-hitting\, seriously researched (but readable) account of what we are. How female bodies evolved\, how they work\, what it really means to biologically be a woman. Something that would rewrite the story of womanhood. This book is that story. We must put the female body in the picture. If we don’t\, it’s not just feminism that’s compromised. Modern medicine\, neurobiology\, paleoanthropology\, even evolutionary biology all takes a hit when we ignore the fact that half of us have breasts. So\, it’s time we talk about breasts. Breasts\, and blood\, and fat\, and vaginas\, and wombs—all of it. How they came to be and how we live with them now\, no matter how weird or hilarious the truth is.”  \nEve is not only a sweeping revision of human history\, it’s an urgent and necessary corrective for a world that has focused primarily on the male body for far too long. Picking up where Sapiens left off\, Eve will completely change what you think you know about evolution and why Homo sapiens has become such a successful and dominant species.  \nCat Bohannon is a researcher and author with a Ph.D. from Columbia University in the evolution of narrative and cognition. Her essays and poems have appeared in Scientific American\, Mind\, Science Magazine\, The Best American Nonrequired Reading\, The Georgia Review\, The Story Collider\, and Poets Against the War. She lives with her family in Seattle.

SUMMARY:CHQ Mystic Heart: Mateo Mortellaro
DESCRIPTION:Taking a general and non-sectarian approach to Buddhism\, Mateo Mortellaro (Konchok Tsering Tengye) has years of experience leading meditation and teaching Buddhist philosophy. Mateo started his spiritual journey early in life practicing Zen Buddhism\, eventually shifting focus to the Tibetan tradition\, primarily within the Drikung \,Kagyu and Sakya schools. \nMateo’s main teacher is His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche\, the world-renowned Buddhist master and Yogi. While his main practice and personal approach is of the Buddhist tradition\, Mateo also follows the rich and eclectic teachings of Baba Ram Dass\, giving instructions using language and methods that are accessible to Western students of all levels of experience.\nMateo has been fortunate to receive teachings and instructions directly from masters such as H.H the Sakya Gongma Trichen Rinpoche\,H.E Garchen Rinpoche\, H.E Bardor Tulku Rinpoche\, and Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche. Other influential teachers include His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama\, Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh\, and Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. \nMateo is also the founder of KTT Dharma\, which is aimed at making spiritual teachings available to those interested through media sharing\, interviews\, his writing\, and teachings.
