Friday and Satur- day shows begin at 7 p.m., Sunday matinees start at 2 p.m. on May 6 and 20. “Moonglow” — written by Kim Carney, directed by Ann Harper and sponsored by Berkshire Hathaway Home Services — follows Maxine, a feisty, bitter Alzheimer’s victim who doesn’t want to move into a nursing facility.

ASTORIA — Yoga Gypsy of Astoria will be hosting a “Forgiveness and Reconcili- ation” workshop 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 5, at their studio (399 31st St.) in the “Little Red Building” on the waterfront. The class will be led by Ann Robben Dott of Astoria, an interfaith minister and chaplain with 30 years of experience teaching person- al growth, meditation and self-healing. The day will combine teaching and group discussion along with guided meditation practice sessions for helping to understand forgiveness in relationship to self-love. The process will include exploring forgiveness for oneself and others. What do judgment and projection have to do with forgiveness? How do resentment, blame, guilt and shame work to undermine reconciliation and self-love? The workshop will also in- corporate author Ira Byock’s book “The 4 Things That Matter Most,” which takes the power of four simple phrases —“Please forgive me,” “I forgive you,” “Thank you” and “I love you” — to help us resolve interpersonal difficul- ties with integrity and grace. The ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness called Ho’opono- pono (ho-o-pono-pono) will be introduced, along with tra- ditional Sufi mantra practices related to forgiving. The cost for this five-hour workshop is $80. A sack lunch is recommended. Ann is also available for private spiritual healing sessions through clairvoyant reading and other modalities. To register for the work- shop, call Ann at 503-791- 3365 or online at awakening- wonder@outlook.com.
