2026 May: A Night at the Theater plus mixer: See the play Anthropology

A VERY SPECIAL EVENING AT CITY LIGHTS THEATER!

We have a very special evening planned for Friday, May 28th, with a reception and play at City Lights!

The reception will be from 6:00 - 7:15 PM.
The play, Anthropology, will start at 7:30.

Summary: In her immaculate Silicon Valley home office, Merril believes in patterns and systems. But her life as a hotshot coder and AI expert falls apart when her younger sister Angie vanishes on her way home from class. After the police abandon their search, Merril gathers the digital material her sister left behind — from texts and emails to online purchases and social media comments — and creates an AI composite. The virtual Angie is a comfort. Until it starts to reveal new details about the real Angie’s disappearance.

Why you should see Anthropology

• Because when you’re a brilliant engineer and your sister disappears, what do you do? You build her.
• Because this is Lauren Gunderson like you’ve never seen her — sharp, suspenseful, and a little bit sci-fi.
• Because it’ll make you question what makes us human…and whether a code can ever capture a soul.

The mixer is free to members (+1 guest) attending the play.  Non-members $10 for the reception.
