SUMMARY:The Machine
DESCRIPTION:Script in Hand Playreading. The Machine follows Laney Chamberlain\, a celebrated poet-turned-professor stuck in a serious case of writer’s block – until a tech CEO shows up with a wild proposition: build an AI that can write poetry in her voice. What follows is a clever\, fast-moving journey of self-discovery\, as Laney grapples with her identity as an artist\, a recent personal tragedy\, and the big question: what does it really mean to create in a world where technology can do it for you?\n2021 Featured Finalist\, Blue Ink Playwriting Prize\, American Blues Theater\n2019 Finalist\, Princess Grace Award\, New Dramatists

SUMMARY:Author Talk with Brigitte Dale
DESCRIPTION:Fairfield Public Library welcomes author\, editor and historian Brigitte Dale\, who will be discussing her first novel\, The Good Daughters.  Brigitte grew up in Fairfield and still resides in Connecticut\, where she is an editor by day and an author by night (or early morning!) \nThe Good Daughters is a moving and vivid story of three suffragettes in 1912 London\, from wildly different backgrounds but bound by their desire to have a say in their future.  Fiona Davis\, NY Times best-selling author of The Stolen Queen\, says “Dale’s beautifully written  novel drew me right in–it was almost as if I was  marching right along with her vibrant cast of characters in their fight for suffrage.” \nPlease register.
