Books for the series — The Early Novels and Stories of James Baldwin, and The Collected Essays of James Baldwin — are free to borrow, supplied by the sponsors. Advance registration is required.

Lucas Handwerker’s You & I

Coming off of four sold out shows in New York City and Los Angeles this past January, Lucas Handwerker is set to perform You & I, his new, intimate mystic/intuitive/interactive show, at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 13 and Saturday, March 14 at Hotel Dylan, 320 Maverick Road, Woodstock.

Lucas has been working with audiences and private clients for over a decade, targeting and curing fears and answering lingering questions past, present and future.

His own incredible story and journey only adds to his cache — growing up here in The Catskills as the child of parents who met and married in an esoteric cult, vowing poverty and celibacy for nearly two decades and now successfully striking out on his own in his 20s, currently in final discussions for a television special and appearances on an upcoming episode of Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills. His show is a modernization of the mystic healing experience, combining intuitive readings, conjuring, hypnosis and storytelling in an entertaining and enlightening live event.

Tickets are $32, and are available, along with more information, at https://www.lucashandwerker.com/
