SUMMARY:Original Music inspired by Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl
DESCRIPTION:One moment\, Earth exists. The next\, every human-made structure has been atomized and transformed into an 18-level dungeon complete with goblins\, traps\, loot\, and an alien audience of billions tuning in to every moment. Enter Carl\, a Coast Guard vet\, and Princess Donut\, his ex-girlfriend’s very opinionated show cat. The rules: survive each level before the timer runs out\, kill with style\, build a following\, or die spectacularly entertaining the galaxy. \n“If you’ve asked for a book recommendation lately\, chances are you’ve been buttonholed by some goggle-eyed person babbling about boxer shorts\, dungeon levels\, and a tiara-wearing Persian show cat named Princess Donut…Dungeon Crawler Carl is funny.”  – Slate \nHeads up: Dungeon Crawler Carl contains death\, murder\, drug use\, and some steamy stuff. \nMore: Does the Dog Die \n\n\nPerformers include: Coming Soon!\nDIGITAL PROGRAM HERE!\nand…\nGet your TICKETS HERE!\n  \nAfter purchasing tickets\, please visit the Royal Room’s Reservations page to book a table.

SUMMARY:Original Music inspired by Homer's The Odyssey
DESCRIPTION:It’s ten years since the fall of Troy and Odysseus still hasn’t made it home. So begins one of literature’s great longshot sagas: conspiring gods\, beckoning enchantresses\, and a house full of suitors helping themselves to his kingdom. Homer’s ancient epic of loss\, cunning\, loyalty\, and the relentless pull of home remains\, over 2\,700 years later\, one of the most enduring narratives ever told—especially in Emily Wilson’s acclaimed 2017 translation. \n“At the heart of the Odyssey there is life\, and survival.”  – The Guardian \n“To read the book closely is to know that Odysseus is a complex hero: he is reckless\, he is sharp\, he is inventive\, he is violent\, but he is also empathetic…Perhaps we return to adaptations of The Odyssey over and over again because we need to be reminded of human stories.”  – Boston University \nHeads up: The Odyssey contains blood\, death\, infidelity\, violence\, and war. \nMore: Does the Dog Die / Book Trigger Warnings \n  \nPerformers include: Coming Soon!\nDIGITAL PROGRAM HERE!\nand…\nGet your TICKETS HERE!\n  \nAfter purchasing tickets\, please visit the Royal Room’s Reservations page to book a table.

SUMMARY:Original Music inspired by Margot Lee Shetterly's Hidden Figures
DESCRIPTION:Before Neil Armstrong walked on the moon\, a group of Black women calculated the equations that got him there—and then were asked to use a separate bathroom. Hidden Figures tells the true story of Dorothy Vaughan\, Mary Jackson\, Katherine Johnson\, Christine Darden\, and Gloria Champine: the “human computers” at NASA whose brilliance powered the Space Race while Jim Crow laws tried to erase them. \n“Hidden Figures is worth reading on many levels. It is the tale of triumph over adversity. Not just over the adversity of discrimination\, but over the adversities which visit all families: illness\, death of a spouse\, and loss of employment. The women featured found ways to surmount these challenges…I recommend this book to anyone.”  – National Space Society \nHeads up: Hidden Figures contains racism\, sexism\, misogyny\, and references to war and illness. \nPerformers include: Coming Soon!\nDIGITAL PROGRAM HERE!\nand…\nGet your TICKETS HERE\n— \nFree and reduced\naccess supported by:

SUMMARY:Original Music inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings
DESCRIPTION:The Dark Lord wants his ring back. The fate of Middle-earth hangs in the balance. And the person carrying it is a small\, soft-footed hobbit from a very comfortable hole in the ground. Tolkien’s foundational epic is grand in every sense—sweeping landscapes\, ancient evil\, immortal poetry—but its secret is that it never loses sight of Frodo and Sam\, two ordinary souls a very long way from home. \n“Along with the heartbreaking sorrow\, there is a grandeur to this view of human life\, to the ruin persisting long after the tower has fallen. Deeply and essentially true\, Tolkien’s vision can give shape and meaning to those griefs we as humans cannot escape.”  – New York Times \nHeads up: Frodo’s timeless journey takes him through war\, violence\, and death. \nMore: Does the Dog Die / Book Trigger Warnings \n  \nPerformers include: Coming Soon!\nDIGITAL PROGRAM HERE!\nand…\nGet your TICKETS HERE!

SUMMARY:Original Music inspired by Leslie Marmon Silko's Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Tayo returns from World War II to the Laguna Pueblo Reservation shattered. He is scarred by combat\, imprisonment\, and the rejection he faces at home. His path back to himself winds through ceremony\, myth\, and the land itself\, guided by a medicine man whose healing is as unconventional as it is profound. Silko’s novel is widely considered one of the most important works in Indigenous American literature: a story of trauma\, identity\, and the resilience of culture. \n“The novel is very deliberately a ceremony in itself—demanding but confident and beautifully written.”  – The Boston Globe \n“Leslie Marmon Silko’s Ceremony is close to what I would call sacred in fiction. There are not many books I would put in this category…What I mean by sacred when talking about this book is its singular devotion to knowing and gorgeously describing the lands it depicts; the way this book allows for its people to find new ways to heal from heartache and trauma in a broken and war-torn world.”  – Tommy Orange \nHeads up: Ceremony contains heavy themes around post-traumatic stress disorder\, war\, violence\, addiction\, and racism. \nMore: Does the Dog Die \nPerformers include: Coming Soon!\nDIGITAL PROGRAM HERE!\nand…\nGet your TICKETS HERE!\n  \nAfter purchasing tickets\, please visit the Royal Room’s Reservations page to book a table.

SUMMARY:Original Music inspired by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah's Chain-Gang All-Stars
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to CAPE—Criminal Action Penal Entertainment—where prisoners fight to the death in front of packed arenas for the chance to win their freedom. Loretta Thurwar and Hamara “Hurricane Staxxx” Stacker are the stars\, teammates\, and lovers\, navigating a system designed to crush them. Adjei-Brenyah’s blazing debut novel is part gladiator epic\, part searing satire of America’s prison-industrial complex\, and one of the most urgent novels in recent memory. \n“Epic…Intoxicating…It is a testament to Adjei-Brenyah’s idiosyncratic talents as a satirist that this premise…feels disquietingly plausible by the novel’s end.”  – The Atlantic \n“Haunting\, lyrical and evocative\, this book challenges readers with questions surrounding fairness\, justice and freedom\, and is perfect for readers who are passionate or curious about social justice and the history of policing in the United States.”  – Forbes \nHeads up: Chain-Gang All-Stars contains extreme violence\, graphic death\, systemic racism\, and strong language throughout. \nMore: Does the Dog Die \n  \nPerformers include: Coming Soon!\nDIGITAL PROGRAM HERE!\nand…\nGet your TICKETS HERE!\n  \nAfter purchasing tickets\, please visit the Royal Room’s Reservations page to book a table.

SUMMARY:Original Music inspired by Gary Paulsen's Hatchet
DESCRIPTION:Brian Robeson is thirteen\, alone in the Canadian wilderness\, and the only tool between him and starvation is a hatchet from his mom. Gary Paulsen’s Newbery Honor classic earns every page of what comes next—the failed fires\, the wrong berries\, the slow accumulation of skills that nobody teaches you until your life depends on them. It’s a survival story\, but more than that it’s a portrait of a kid who gets very\, very good at starting over. \n“Gary Paulsen does not romanticize the difficulties Brian faces. Readers witness his gut-wrenching sickness from eating too many berries and his shock when he realizes he has never before heard total silence. His failures and triumphs are also presented as equal parts of one life-altering experience. In the two months he spends in the wild\, Brian undergoes countless emotional and physical changes. But Paulsen keeps the reader at Brian’s side as he discovers how strong he has always been.”  – Common Sense Media \nHeads up: Hatchet contains depictions of injuries and an attempted suicide. \nMore: Does the Dog Die \nPerformers include: Coming Soon!\nDIGITAL PROGRAM HERE!\nand…\nGet your TICKETS HERE!\n— \nFree and reduced\naccess supported by:
