Join us for an engaging literary experience at Grayson College! Trifecta is a unique community class that brings books, movies, and meaningful conversations together. During each session, participants will: read a carefully selected book, play, or other literary work (both fiction and nonfiction); watch the movie adaptation or attend a live performance when available; participate in lively discussions, thought-provoking lectures, and interactive activities that bring each story to life. Throughout the semester, participants will also enjoy special presentations from local authors, Grayson College faculty, and other guest speakers, making every class a new opportunity to learn and connect.
