An Afternoon with
Marianne Leone

$15/person
Actress, screenwriter, and essayist Marianne Leone will read a chapter from her new memoir, Five-Dog Epiphany, followed by a short film that inspired the chapter, starring the author and her husband, Chris Cooper.
Her memoir is a moving and sometimes surprisingly funny exploration of grief and the mutual healing that can occur between rescue dogs and people who have experienced a soul-crushing loss.
And a special surprise! A performance preview of her new coming of age novel, Christina the Astonishing, due out in the fall.

Our New Sculpture Garden
In the Spring of 2024 the PCA broke ground on an ambitious Sculpture Garden Project. With the help of Egan Landscaping, Rainfall Irrigation and Crosby Fence, we completed our goal in October and we were able to host a prominent non-profit's donor dinner outdoors on a lovely Sunday Afternoon. Thanks to generous donations from many PCA members, community members, the town of Plymouth and a large anonymous donation, this was accomplished on time and on budget. In May and June 2025, our beautiful new gardens will begin to flower and will complete our vision for a new green space in historic downtown Plymouth. With space for relaxation, communion with art and nature, a venue for concerts, parties, showers, weddings and events, we are ready for an exciting summer.
SAVE THE DATE
Join us in celebrating our new Sculpture Garden at a Gatsby-themed Garden Party on June 21st, the Summer Solstice. More info to come.
CALLING ALL SCULPTORS
