About this Event

In Intergenerational Community with Acclaimed Author Gayle Forman

Award winning author Gayle Forman will present an interactive program that weaves together her family’s story and that of two of her characters (Josey and Alex) in her acclaimed novel Not Nothing, inviting our intergenerational audience to participate in a philosophical conversation about mistakes, forgiveness and what it means to rise to the occasion. All are invited to join us at DOROT.


DOROT is a non-profit social service agency that provides life-enhancing programs and services for adults 60 and older to help them live independently as valued members of the community.


ACCESSIBILITY

Our building is ADA accessible and the auditorium is equipped with a hearing loop. Additionally, we have 4 assisted listening devices that can be borrowed for programs on a first-come first-served basis. Please reach out to [email protected] with any accessibility questions or requests.
