A taped performance of the Off-Broadway show "Tea for Three: Lady Bird, Pat, and Betty" followed by a live Zoom chat with star and co-writer Elaine Bromka, who portrays the three U.S. First Ladies.
Warm, whimsical, and deeply moving, Tea for Three: Lady Bird, Pat & Betty offers a behind-the-scenes look at three of our First Ladies – Lady Bird Johnson, Pat Nixon, and Betty Ford. In this time of deeply polarizing politics, the show reaches across the aisle to humanize the arena, allowing audiences to stand in those women's shoes. An Emmy Award-winning New York actress for more than 30 years in film, television, Broadway and Off-Broadway, Elaine Bromka developed Tea for Three with playwright Eric H. Weinberger to explore the female perspective, after impersonating eight First Ladies opposite Rich Little in the play The Presidents.

NOTE: The Main Library's Rooftop Terrace is closed for renovations.
Salt Lake City's Main Library, designed by internationally-acclaimed architect Moshe Safdie in conjunction with VCBO Architecture, opened in February 2003 and remains one of the most architecturally unique structures in Utah. This striking 240,000 square-foot structure houses more than 500,000 books and other materials, yet serves as more than just a repository of books and computers. It reflects and engages the city's imagination and aspirations. The structure embraces a public plaza, with shops and services at ground level, reading galleries above, and a 300-seat auditorium.
A multi-level reading area along the Glass Lens at the southern facade of the building looks out onto the plaza with stunning views of the city and Wasatch Mountains beyond. Spiraling fireplaces on four floors resemble a column of flame from the vantage of 200 East and 400 South. The Urban Room between the Library and the Crescent Wall is a space for all seasons, generously endowed with daylight and open to magnificent views.
