Shackleton, Armchair Adventurer with Lawrence Howard
Ernest Shackleton's legendary Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition took place over  100 years ago, but time has not diminished the impact of the gripping account of the British explorer and the world-famous 1914 voyage of The Endurance.  Acclaimed storyteller and polar historian Lawrence Howard has often told the true tale of the hardship, suffering, and courage experienced on this landmark Antarctic expedition.  But there's another piece of the Shackleton story, little known and rarely told. This year, for the first time ever, Lawrence Howard, the Armchair Adventurer, will tell the harrowing tale of the Ross Sea Party those valiant men on the other side of the continent who gave everything they had to lay down the caches of food and fuel along the route caches that, as it turned out, Shackleton never used. It's a story that speaks to something deep within the human psyche. It's about failure, but it's also about fortitude, determination, duty and honor. It's about reaching deep and finding reserves of strength we didn't know we had. It's about the indomitable power of the human spirit. >>TICKETS
