On the first and third Mondays of each month, Tom Frenkel will host a reading of (mostly) Ovid's Metamorphoses.
On the second and fourth Mondays of each month, we will continue with Dante's Divine Comedy.
On fifth Mondays, we hold an "open mic", where participants are encouraged to sing a song, tell a joke, read a poem, or whatever.
