SUMMARY:In Conversation with Author Ted Chiang
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 16\, 2026 @ 7 PM via Zoom \nTed Chiang has become a definitive voice in speculative fiction\, captivating readers with his award-winning collections Stories of Your Life and Others and Exhalation. He possesses a masterful ability to bridge the gap between rigorous scientific inquiry and the profound depths of human emotion. His work serves as a modern exploration of the “what if\,” often using our evolving relationship with technology to challenge our understanding of free will\, memory\, and consciousness. These stories resonate because they grapple with the fundamental questions of what it means to be sentient in an evolving universe. In this keynote\, Chiang will discuss various themes found in Exhalation: Stories\, with a focus on the persistence of wonder and how shifting the lens of logic can fundamentally alter our perspective on the nature of existence. \nSponsored by the Hopewell Valley Regional School District and the Friends of the Pennington Library

SUMMARY:Worlds from Thin Air: An Intro to Speculative Improv
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, April 19\, 2026 @ 1:00 – 2:30 PM \nCreating stories can be challenging\, and it might seem even more challenging to go beyond the page when you are writing in real time on the stage. How do people do this in improvised theater?\n\n\nDrawing inspiration from the ‘What If?’ nature of speculative fiction (like Ted Chiang’s Exhalation)\, we’ll explore how simple questions can build extraordinary worlds. Come learn how to take a single idea and\, through collaboration\, see where the logic of that world takes you. In this workshop\, come to learn and build on basics of improv theater with a focus on the collaborative\, creative experience. All are welcome! \nAbout the Presenter: Child’s Play Improv is a troupe whose home is at Princeton University. The student-run troupe  provides a place where people can learn to enjoy and improve their skills at improv\, and make this craft more accessible to others.
