Japan House Events

On Saturday, March 8, actor, author, humorist, and woodworker Nick Offerman will generously share his musings and reflections on life and his own personal history in an interview with Emmy Award Winning Documentarian Alison Davis at an intimate gathering filled with humor, stories, and perhaps a song or two. After the performance, all are invited to meet Nick and have their Offerman book signed (copies of Where the Deer and the Antelope play will be available at the Philanthropy Center for purchase). This exclusive fundraising event offers a special opportunity to support Japan House while enjoying an afternoon of entertainment, engaging conversation, delicious food, and cultural appreciation.

There will be a Japanese bento lunch crafted by Japan House and Michaels’ Catering, with desserts from Suzu’s Bakery included with all tickets. Please note that we are unable to accommodate modifications due to the special set menu. A choice of regular or vegetarian bento will be offered.

Photography, audio, and video recording are not permitted during the show or signing. Guests must be seated at their table and additional guests or observers will not be permitted inside the Philanthropy Center.

For the book signing, the $225 ticket includes a copy of Nick Offerman's latest book, Where the Deer and the Antelope Play, for signing.
