Our enrichment program strives to provide members of our adult community with a variety of opportunities to engage in lifelong learning.

We also offer day trips to various theater productions and other events; these trips include transportation and lunches prior to the performance.

Willkommen. Bienvenue. Welcome to the Kit Kat Club. Home to an intimate and electrifying new production of Cabaret. Experience this groundbreaking musical like never before. The denizens of the Kit Kat Club have created a decadent sanctuary inside Broadway’s August Wilson Theatre, where artists and performers, misfits and outsiders rule the night. Step inside their world. This is Berlin. Relax. Loosen up. Be yourself. Our luncheon is in a Manhattan restaurant before the musical.

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s SUNSET BLVD. is reimagined by six-time Olivier Award- winning and Tony®-nominated director Jamie Lloyd in a “scorching, brilliant revival” the New York Post calls “Broadway’s most exhilarating show in years.” Reprising her Olivier Award-winning portrayal of the immortal Norma Desmond, Nicole Scherzinger is “a bona fide musical-theater phenomenon. Haunted by her memories and dreams, movie star Norma Desmond yearns to return to the big screen. A struggling screenwriter who can’t sell his scripts to the Hollywood studios may be her only hope, until their dangerous and captivating relationship leads to disaster. SUNSET BLVD. focuses on the ambitions and frustrations of its characters and puts their intoxicating need for fame and adoration in stark close-up. We will be dining in a Manhattan eatery prior to the performance.

General Information
Cancellations
Refunds for Courses: All offerings are subject to cancellation for insufficient enrollment. Upon complete cancellation of a course by the district, a full refund will be credited within 3-5 business days to your payment choice. If an individual class is cancelled due to inclement weather, emergency closing, or instructor unavailability, we may make-up that one class.
For cancellations initiated by a registrant, tuition fees can refunded through "MySchoolBucks" only if the cancellation is made prior to the first class. Tuition fees, in whole or part, will not be refunded once the course has begun.
Refunds for Trips: Expenses are incurred in advance for many of our trips that will not be refunded by the venue. If we have a waiting list, or can substitute your attendance and not incur expenses to the district, your registration fees will be refunded less a $25 cancellation fee. If we cannot find a replacement for you, you will forfeit your entire registration fee - please do not sign up for a trip if you are not sure you can attend. In addition, please do not give your ticket to another individual without contacting our office first to see if we have a wait list.
Class & Theater Trip Waitlists
If you find a class or trip is sold-out when registering, you may be added to our waitlists by emailing the class/trip name, your name(s) and contact information to muthigm@pearlriver.org. Waitlists are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. If we have any cancellations, we will reach out to you to register online.

If interested, please email your course proposal, along with your resume, professional references, and salary requirements to muthigm@pearlriver.org.
