SUMMARY:Hooking Readers One Question at a Time
DESCRIPTION:Every story that keeps you reading past your bedtime is built on questions. In this workshop\, novelist Andromeda Romano-Lax breaks down how writers can use one big question to drive a whole book\, while planting dozens of smaller ones along the way. Some questions are answered\, while others are intentionally left hanging. We’ll use a recent bestselling memoir as a working example.\nThis workshop is open to any writer working on a story (fiction or nonfiction\, any genre) at the planning\, drafting\, or revising stage. Bring pages if you have them (not required). You’ll leave with a sharper eye for the questions your own project is raising\, and whether they’re the ones you want.\nAndromeda Romano-Lax worked as a journalist and travel writer before turning to fiction. Her first novel\, The Spanish Bow\, was translated into eleven languages and chosen as a New York Times Editors’ Choice and Library Journal Best Book of the Year. Her next four novels\, The Detour\, Behave\, Plum Rains (winner of the Sunburst Award)\, and Annie and the Wolves\, reflect her diverse interest in the arts\, history\, science\, and technology\, as well as her love of travel. Andromeda has recently swerved into the world of suspense fiction with The Deepest Lake and What Boys Learn\, although she continues to write across genres. Her forthcoming book is a historical novel about Sylvia Plath.\nAndromeda has taught fiction in two MFA creative writing programs and works with novelists and memoirists as a book coach.\nSunday October 4\, 2026\n2-4pm\nLight snacks and beverages provided\nBaker Hall (215 Baker Rd)\nPay-what-you-can\, suggested $20.\nPresented by Paper Covers Rock\, Salt Spring Island’s society for readers and writers.

SUMMARY:Mayne Island Conservancy Fall Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:This year\, our Fall Speaker Series is aligned with the Conservancy’s 2026 theme of celebrating the coastal Douglas-fir ecosystem\, the smallest and most at-risk biogeoclimatic zone in British Columbia.

SUMMARY:MET OPERA: Mozart’s Così fan tutte
DESCRIPTION:The Met: Live in HD is your chance to join thousands of others in theatres and cinemas around the world\, to experience one of the world’s most famous opera companies livestream direct from New York. Here at Salt Spring\, not only do you get to experience ArtSpring’s exceptional surround sound\, but also our quiche intermissions – which have helped make Saturday morning opera a Salt Spring institution.\nIn addition to the opera itself\, there are live interviews with the stars\, and behind-the scenes live backstage footage.\nThe Met: Live in HD season kicks off with Così fan tutte – Mozart’s satirical comedy of fickle young love\, one of the composer’s most sublime creations that premiered in Vienna in 1790. Phelim McDermott’s “colorful\, inventive” (The New York Times) staging\, inspired by Coney Island in the 1950s\, sets the uproarious story at a boardwalk amusement park\, where the two pairs of lovers at the heart of the tale find themselves on one emotional—and literal—thrill ride after another.\nThe third and final collaboration between Mozart and librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte is a fascinating paradox: a frothy comedy of manners with an intensely dark take on human nature; an old story (it has antecedents in Boccaccio\, Shakespeare\, and Cervantes\, among others) with a startlingly modern tone; and a beautiful score depicting questionable behavior. Così fan tutte was only moderately successful at its premiere and remained just outside the standard repertoire for more than a century. Così still poses unique challenges\, and correspondingly unique rewards\, for the public today. Every possible impression of love—from the loftiest to the basest—is explored in this extraordinary opera.\nSoprano Federica Lombardi and mezzo-soprano Samantha Hankey sing Fiordiligi and Dorabella\, opposite tenor Duke Kim and baritone Andrey Zhilikhovsky as Ferrando and Guglielmo. Bass-baritone Gerald Finley reprises his portrayal of the cynical Don Alfonso\, with soprano Ana María Martínez as the witty maid Despina.\nSung in Italian | Four hours | One intermission\nAdult $25 | Senior $20 | Youth $15
