SUMMARY:Festival Performance: “A Mad\, Mad Wonderland” & Tea Party
DESCRIPTION:You’re cordially invited to an utterly mad tea party—hosted by none other than award-winning actor and theatrical wizard Jason Woods! \nIn Mad\, Mad Wonderland\, Jason performs all 10 roles in a hilarious\, high-speed journey through Lewis Carroll’s classic. From the jittery White Rabbit to a Queen of Hearts with attitude (and maybe a touch of Jack Nicholson)\, Jason’s one-man tour-de-force is imaginative\, chaotic\, and full of heart. \nAnd yes—there will be tea! Because what’s a trip through Wonderland without a little mid-performance tea party? \nTo make it even more magical\, our beloved actor Ron Kurtz will join in with a special reading from Alice in Wonderland during the festivities. \nCome for the absurdity. Stay for the transformation. Leave feeling like you’ve fallen headfirst into a world of magic and mayhem. \nPerfect for fans of theatre\, tea\, and things delightfully off-kilter.

SUMMARY:Holocaust Survivor to Share Her Story in Amelia Island
DESCRIPTION:The Chabad Jewish Center of Amelia Island invites the community to a powerful evening of remembrance and resilience as Holocaust survivor Sora Vigorito shares her remarkable life story at the Atlantic Rec Center Auditorium on Tuesday\, February 10\, 2026. \nThe evening will also include a special musical performance featuring the stirring theme from Schindler’s List\, adding a moving dimension to this meaningful program. \nBorn in October 1941 in Berlin\, Ute (Sora) Seiler Vigorito is believed to be the youngest survivor of Dr. Josef Mengele’s experimental twins program at Auschwitz. In 1943\, she and her twin sister\, Channah\, lived in hiding. The following year\, their mother and older sister were taken by the Nazis\, and soon afterward\, the twins were discovered and deported to Auschwitz. \nAt the concentration camp\, Sora and Channah were imprisoned in the children’s barracks and subjected to Mengele’s inhumane experiments. Her twin sister did not survive. They were among 89 sets of identical twins forced into the medical trials of the man infamously known as the “Angel of Death.” \nSora’s story of survival and courage has been preserved through oral history recordings at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and has also been depicted in an Emmy Award–winning film that she directed. \nAs time passes\, opportunities to hear firsthand testimony from Holocaust survivors are becoming increasingly rare. Events like this serve not only as a way to honor the memory of the millions who perished\, but also to ensure that these stories continue to be remembered and passed on to future generations.

SUMMARY:Mindful Stitching - Shashiko
DESCRIPTION:Learn the ancient Japanese art of Shashiko \nLearn about the principles of mindful stitching. You don’t need any sewing experience or creative background to participate. \nThis class is all about slowing down\, breathing deeply\, and letting your hands find rhythm through the ancient Japanese art of Shashiko — a simple\, meditative stitching technique traditionally used to mend and beautify fabric. \nThis is not about perfection — with each stitch\, you’ll feel yourself unwind while learning something new through the gentle repetition of thread through cloth. In the class we will play with different stitches and sew small pieces of fabric using this slow\, mindful technique. \nAll materials will be provided but feel free to bring something of your own to repair.
