WHERE: Turnage Theater Gallery

TICKETS: $10 for AOP Members / $15 for Non-Members (Includes admission to both sessions!)

• Step-by-Step Restoration: Watch live demonstrations detailing how to erase scratches, fix fading, and sharpen blurred details.

Whether you are a family genealogist, a history buff, or someone who simply wants to preserve a piece of your personal history, this workshop will give you the tools to save your family's story.

WHEN: Wednesdays, August 5 & August 12 | 1:30 PM – 3:00 PM (Two-Part Event)

WHERE: Turnage Theater Gallery

TICKETS: $10 for AOP Members / $15 for Non-Members (Includes admission and refreshments for both sessions!)

Travel back in time to Regency-period England for a timeless story of second chances, hidden longing, and enduring love. Whether you are a devoted "Janeite" or discovering the brilliant Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth for the very first time, you are warmly invited to pull up a chair for a delightful literary escape.

Join facilitator Pam Whipple in the cozy Turnage Theater Gallery for a two-part discussion group centered on Jane Austen’s final completed novel, Persuasion.

📖 Note for Attendees: To get the most out of our lively conversations, we recommend having the book read ahead of our first session on August 5th!

What to Expect:

• Engaging Conversations: We will dive deep into Austen's themes of regret, societal expectations, and what it truly means to follow your heart.

• A Casual, Welcoming Atmosphere: No stuffy academic pressure here! This is a relaxed, open space to share your thoughts, ask questions, or simply sip tea and listen to others.

• A "Slight Repast": It wouldn't be a proper English afternoon without refreshments. Enjoy tea and treats while mingling with fellow book lovers.

Book Details:

Our facilitator recommends the Penguin Classics paperback edition (edited by Gillian Beer) because it is budget-friendly and perfect for personalizing. We want you to dog-ear the pages, highlight your favorite lines, use it as a coaster, and truly immerse yourself in Austen’s world!

📖 Don't have a copy? You can order this specific edition locally through our wonderful friends at Pamlico Books! If you already own a different edition of Persuasion, feel free to bring that along instead—no need to buy another.
