An Evening of Yankee Humor
with Rebecca Rule
         and
Fred Marple

presented by Franklin Opera House
at Franklin Public Library

Saturday, March 30, 2024
7:30 p.m.
Limited Seating
General Admission

Rebecca Rule has been telling stories in New England, especially NH, for more than thirty years. She hasn’t visited every town in the Granite State but has found her way to many of them — speaking at libraries, historical societies, church groups, and charitable organizations. She likes collecting stories because “they’re free and you don’t have to dust them."

Yankee humorist Fred Marple has appeared on New Hampshire Chronicle, on the radio, at town halls, church basements, and the homes of most of his friends, usually right around dinner time. Fred’s humor columns have appeared in Yankee Magazine, New Hampshire Magazine, and many others. Fred is a graduate of the Frost Heaves Academy and the East Coast School of Knife Sharpening and Carburetor Repair.

Sorry -This show is SOLD OUT! - a good problem for us, but not so good for you.

FHS Players presents
Mean Girls - High School Version
at Franklin Middle School

May 3 & 4 at 7:30 pm
May 4 & 5 at 2:00 pm

Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the wild and vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. How will this naïve newbie rise to the top of the popularity pecking order? By taking on The Plastics, a trio of lionized frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George. But when Cady and her friends devise a "Revenge Party" to end Regina’s reign, she learns the hard way that you can’t cross a Queen Bee without getting stung.

Adapted from Tina Fey's hit 2004 film, Mean Girls was nominated for a staggering 12 Tony Awards. This queen-bee took Broadway by storm and has joined the musical in-crowd.
