The Emerson Center offers E-Series: Rising Sea Level and the Path Forward with Speaker: John Englander
January 10, 7 – 9pm, John Englander is an oceanographer, multi-book author, international speaker, and expert on climate change and sea level rise. He explains that “sunny day” flooding and higher tides are only the beginning of sea level rise. It will increase dramatically, and exponentially, in coming years. It is also unstoppable due to trapped heat ALREADY stored in our oceans. John also explores the effects of severe weather, coastal erosion, drought, and forest fires – as these are also caused by excess ocean heat. His solution is positive and pragmatic, and called intelligent adaptation, eventually leading to a call to move to higher ground.

Vero Beach Theatre Guild offers Visiting Mr.Green
Performances run January 13 – 29. Mr. Green, an elderly, retired dry cleaner, wanders into New York traffic and is almost hit by a car driven by Ross Gardiner, a 29-year-old corporate executive. The young man is given community service helping the recent widower once a week for six months. What starts out as a comedy about two men who do not want to be in the same room together becomes a gripping and moving storyline as they get to know each other, come to care about each other, and open old wounds they’ve been hiding and nursing for years. Translated in 22 languages, with hundreds of productions in large and small venues, it has won numerous best play and best actor awards throughout the world.
