National Politics, Arts to Headline Masters Series Topics

The fall term of the popular Masters Series at the Pasadena Senior Center is slated to begin on Tuesdays from Sept. 26 to Nov. 14, from 2-4 p.m.
The Masters Series, which embraces and promotes lifelong learning, is open to members of the Pasadena Senior Center. Non-members can try the series by attending their first lecture free of charge.
For anyone dazed and confused by congressional hearings, presidential tweets, 24-hour news cycles and the term “fake news” will find intelligent conversation and clarity during the Masters Series, as will people curious about space exploration, revisionist history in the theater world and everyone’s favorite sweet treat, chocolate.
Individual talks are $15 each, or register for the full eight-week term for $105.
