The Kravis Center Cultural Society presents Lunch and Learn: Sexual Healing: An Intimate Conversation With Dr. Ruth Westheimer, interviewed by Steven Caras at 11;30am. Dr. Ruth Westheimer may have pioneered talking explicitly about sex on radio and television, but it’s a small part of an inspirational life that began with escaping the Holocaust at the age of 10. Only after joining the Israeli Freedom Fighters and before extensive studies at the Sorbonne, the New School of Social Research and Columbia University’s Teacher’s College did she begin to broach the subject of sexuality. Meet this highly accomplished celebrity in a colorful dialogue with Steven Caras, covering everything you may still need to know about sex, and equally if not more stimulating, details of a life journey that continues for this ageless international treasure. This event takes place at the Gimelstob Ballroom in the Cohen Pavilion, and tickets are $89, and includes lunch prepared by Catering by The Breakers.

Welcome to the infamous Kit Kat Klub, where the Emcee, Sally Bowles and a raucous ensemble take the stage nightly to tantalize the crowd––and to leave their troubles outside. But as life in pre-WWII Germany grows more and more uncertain, will the decadent allure of Berlin nightlife be enough to get them through their dangerous times? Go and hear some of the most memorable songs in theatre history, including “Cabaret,” “Willkommen” and “Maybe This Time.” Leave your troubles outside – life is beautiful at Cabaret, John Kander, Fred Ebb and Joe Masteroff’s Tony-winning musical about following your heart while the world loses its way.
