The Prospect Theater Company presents The

Saturday

If there are teenagers
in your life dealing with the necessary evil known as the S.A.T exam, The
Tutor is the perfect family outing. With a winning mix of clever wit and
surprising warmth,
The Tutor tells a fresh, funny, contemporary
tale of romance, art, and what it really takes to get into Princeton. When a
struggling young novelist takes a job tutoring a sullen Manhattan girl, he
thinks he's just out for quick cash. But when the characters in his novel
start to come to life, and his teenage pupil begins to open up, his life
takes a surprising turn. This award-winning musical offers inventive,
memorable music, vibrant characters, and way more laughs than taking the
S.A.T.!
Enjoy a relaxed dinner
before the show with fellow theatergoers, as well as with Prospect's founding
members. In addition, a special artistic guest will be present at the dinner
to speak about the process of creating the show, and to answer questions.
A $50 Patron Dinner
ticket covers a pre-dinner drink, a prixfixe three-course meal (salad,
entrée, and dessert/coffee), and a glass of wine with dinner. Additionally,
patron dinner participants will receive reserved, prime seating at the
performance with their group, so there's no need to worry about rushing to
the theater to get good seats.
The Tutor will be
performed at the 59E59 Theater (59 East 59th Street, between Park and Madison
Avenues.) The Patron Dinner will take place in a local restaurant TBD. All
reservations are final sale. To reserve your space, please contact the

Classic Movies

Join us for an evening
with legendary actress Lynn Redgrave. We will show clips from Redgrave's

artistic philosophy and professional triumphs and challenges. She will also
talk about different strategies and artistic decisions that
apply to acting in the
theater as opposed to acting for film and television.
No biography of Lynn
Redgrave would be complete without mentioning her family. The Redgraves are
among the most famous family names in the world, and have been gracing the
silver screen for more than 70 years. Ms. Redgrave made her professional
debut in the 1962 production of A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Royal
Court Theatre. In 1966, Ms. Redgrave earned the New York Film Critics Award
and Golden Globe® and Oscar® nominations for her performance of the title
role in Georgy Girl.
Redgrave’s newest film, The White Countess (directed by James Ivory),
is scheduled for release in November.
The cost of this event
is $12 per person (plus tax and
gratuity) and includes a
wine and cheese reception following Ms. Redgrave’s presentation. Due to
limited space, each member may reserve a maximum of two spaces at this event.
Cancellations received after Tuesday, September 20 will be charged in full.

Project Daniel:
Israel's Strategic Future
Presented by Professor Louis
Rene Beres
Monday
September 26
6:30 p.m.
|
Over the past several years,
a small group of very senior Israeli military and intelligence community
figures (retired) met quietly in New York and Washington as "Project
Daniel." Chaired by Louis Rene Beres (Ph.D., Princeton, 1971), professor
of international law at Purdue University, the special group's final report
was delivered by hand to Prime Minister Sharon on January 16, 2003. Now no
longer confidential, ISRAEL'S STRATEGIC FUTURE makes far-reaching and timely
recommendations concerning Iranian nuclearization; preemption (US and/or
Israel); Israeli nuclear disclosure (an end to Israel's nuclear ambiguity)
and "countervalue" (countercity) targeting
doctrines. Briefed to
President Bush by Prime Minister Sharon, the Project Daniel Final Report is a
unique document with immediate and significant policy implications for
Washington as well as Jerusalem. Be with us on the evening of September 26,
when Professor Beres, one of our own Club members, speaks candidly on the
history, content and probable future of Project Daniel.
This is a free event,
but advance reservations are
required. Following the
program, the Presidents' Room will offer a prix fixe dinner menu. To make a
reservation for the lecture and/or the post-lecture dinner, please contact
the Program Office. If you would like to dine at the Club Table, please

Career Change Made Easy with Win
Sheffield
Tuesday
September 27
6:30 p.m.
|
Why is it so hard to
change jobs? The process
of changing jobs doesn’t
seem to work the way
we anticipated and it
seems as though our
efforts are
unnecessarily frustrated.
Often we excel at work
and possess the ability to implement effective solutions, manage people,
provide creative input, beat sales targets, but can’t sell ourselves. Join
career consultant Win Sheffield and learn to harness the skills you already
have and apply them to your job search in a way suited to your style. Win
will put the job search process in perspective so you can plan your search
and not waste your time unnecessarily. Building on a career of over twenty
years at Citibank, J.P. Morgan and Pricewaterhouse Coopers Consulting, Win
made his own transition into career coaching, following up on a long time
interest and avocation. Win now practices career coaching in
private practice in New
York. He has an M.B.A. and is certified as a career coach through the Five
O'Clock Club.

This is a free event,
but advance reservations are required. Following the program, the Presidents Room
will offer a prix fixe dinner menu. To make a reservation for the lecture
and/or the post-lecture dinner, please contact the Program Office. If you
would like to dine at the Club Table, please advise us when making your
reservation.

 Luncheon and Book Lecture Invitation to Members
of the
Columbia and
Princeton Clubs
Featuring Ambassador Richard N. Gardner, author
of Mission Italy: On the Front
Lines of the Cold War
Columbia University Law School &
School of International and Public Affairs
Thursday
October 6
12:00 p.m.
|
What better way describe a book than by
relaying the comments of distinguished luminaries. Henry Graff,
professor emeritus of history, Columbia University, commented, “I feel I have
traveled at Gardner’s side through a stirring period of history. That he is able to assemble such detailed
recollections has my special admiration and, take my word for it, there is no
account of American diplomacy like his.”
Zbigniew Brzezinski, former national security advisor to
President Carter, said “Mission Italy is a scrupulously honest and
thoroughly documented narrative of a critical episode in the history of the
Cold War. Rich in anecdotes and
revealing details, it can serve as a guidebook for students of diplomacy and
aspiring diplomats.”
The former Italian President and Prime Minister
Francesco Cossiga calls the book “An exemplary and fascinating story not only
of an American intellectual and scholar in Italy, but also of one of the most
complex periods in the political life of our country and of Europe.”
Ambassador Gardner, a professor of law and international
organization at Columbia Law School, is considered an expert on NATO and
trade and has served in various capacities as a U.S. ambassador and advisor
to presidents and the United Nations.
A graduate of Harvard, Yale and Oxford universities,
Gardner served in the Kennedy Administration as deputy assistant secretary of
state for international organization affairs from 1961-65. He served as Special Advisor to the United
Nations at the UN Conference on the Human Environment in 1972 and at the 1992
Earth Summit in Rio. He served as US
Ambassador to Italy from 1977 to 1981 and as US Ambassador to Spain from 1993
to 1997, and was one of the chief foreign policy advisors of Vice President Al Gore.
There is no cost to Columbia and Princeton Club members;
$25.00 for non-members. Books will be
