Malvern Arts’ lineup for the fall includes an art exhibit and two new programs – Play Reading and Community Choir! Read on for details.
FORGOTTEN FILMS: First Wednesdays of the Month at 7:15 pm. Next meeting 11/2.
The selection for November is the 1964 crime-comedy, Topkapi. A small-time con man with passport problems gets mixed up with a gang of world-class jewelry thieves plotting to rob the Topkapi museum in Istanbul. Starring Melina Mercouri, Peter Ustinov and Maxmillian Schell.
FICTION LIVE: Next meeting Thursday, 11/3, 6:30 pm
Author/Actor Tom Teti presents live readings – sometimes of his short stories or novel-in-progress, and sometimes, a Pot Luck, where you are invited to read a short selection from a favorite author, or an original piece you’d like to share. With refreshments, snacks, and conversation! For the next meeting, Tom will bring some more of his novel about the Apostles narrated by Saint Thomas to the light of our times.
WALK WHEN THE MOON IS FULL: Next meeting: 11/7, 7 pm, The Beaver Moon.
Evening strolls through our neighborhoods and parks to explore the surprises of the various seasons as illuminated by moonlight. What may be ordinary in the daylight becomes extraordinary by moonlight. We meet in the parking lot of the First Baptist Church at the corner of Channing and 1st Avenues.
MALVERN ARTS TEXTILES: Second Tuesdays of the Month, 3-5pm. Next meeting: 11/8.
Do you love any form of needlework—or would you like to learn? Join us each month for a delightful afternoon of stitching, conversation, and refreshments. If you’ve never held a needle, are a master of needle skills, or somewhere in between, if you’re interested, you will be welcomed. Questions or information, email Isabel Leininger at malvernartstextiles@earthlink.net

PLAY READING: Second Wednesdays of the Month 7-9 pm. Next meeting: 11/9*.
