SPARKMOOT: An Exploration of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings

SIX TUESDAYS: June 21, July 12, 19, Aug 9, 23, & 30
6:30-8:30 PM


ADULTS & TEENS / Explore the magical world of Middle-Earth with local professor Dr. Thom Caraway. We'll begin with some background on the life of J.R.R. Tolkien, including an examination of his essay, “On Fairy Stories.” From there, we’ll explore The Lord of the Rings, with an eye for thematic elements, structure, character development, and of course, general nerdiness. $20 includes all six sessions. Register online.
