Expect bold conversations\, fresh perspectives\, and a deep dive into why books like this keep getting challenged. This book club is about more than just reading\, it’s about understanding why books get banned\, discussing the themes that make them controversial\, and standing up for the freedom to read. \n​​Read the current book before the meeting (or come anyway—we won’t judge). Join us at Four Seasons Books for a lively discussion. Engage in meaningful dialogue about censorship\, free speech\, and why this book is still making waves today. \nOrganizer: Four Seasons Books \nLocation: 114 W German St\, Shepherdstown\, WV\, United States\, West Virginia 25443 \nSource: View original event URL:https://shepherdstownshares.com/event/banned-books-book-club-parable-of-the-talents-by-octavia-butler/ CATEGORIES:Community & Civic,Community Events,Imported,Lecture / Discussion / Book Talk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260816T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260816T190000 DTSTAMP:20260810T120050Z CREATED:20260810T120050Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260810T120050Z UID:1875-1786896000-1786906800@shepherdstownshares.com SUMMARY:The Outpatients (Live Music) DESCRIPTION:Live music by The Outpatients. \nOrganizer: Mecklenburg Inn \nLocation: Mecklenburg Inn \nSource: View original event URL:https://shepherdstownshares.com/event/the-outpatients-live-music/ CATEGORIES:Community Events,Imported,Music / Performance / Theater,Music & Film & Stage END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260816T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260816T235959 DTSTAMP:20260716T200341Z CREATED:20260716T200341Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260716T200341Z UID:1571-1786892400-1786924799@shepherdstownshares.com SUMMARY:Festival Finale DESCRIPTION:$16 General Admission/$5 Students/Free for children under 18 \nWe close our 2026 season with a kaleidoscopic celebration at the historic and beloved Zion Episcopal Church in Charles Town.

As questions like “Does he like me?” “Am I good enough?” or “Why even bother?” threaten to dissolve her down into an anxious puddle of low self worth\, she fantasizes what her hero- opera’s baddest bitch — Maria Callas would do. When Maria does appear we learn that sometimes you need to play by your own goddamn rules.\nThe audience is led on a sexy fun-filled romp that explores what happens when fantasy becomes reality\, and when the mundane transforms into the divine. It is a story of an unlikely due who together redefine what it is to be a leading lady on your own terms.\nRegina Gibson’s most recent theatrical credits include appearing at the Contemporary American Theater Festival in Shepherdstown in The Smoker (she played an opera singer). She has performed Divina to sold out crowds in New York at The Players Club\, Dixon Place\, Pangea\, and QED.\nRead more about the show: divinaonstage.com\nRead more about Regina Gibson: reginagibson.com\nThe historic Shepherdstown Opera House is a cozy 99-seat vaudeville-era theater — we encourage patrons to purchase tickets in advance.
