Feeling Curious

As part of its exhibit Saving the Little Brown Monkey: The True Wartime Escape of Margret and H.A. Rey, local celebrities read from Curious George books tonight at the Jewish Community Center. Get there early to look at the exhibit in the center’s art gallery, which includes watercolors and archival materials chronicling the mischievous George and his creators’ flight from France’s Nazi invasion. The exhibit runs through December 1 at the gallery (5801 West 115th Street in Overland Park, 913-327-8000). At press time, the readers for tonight’s free program had not been named.
