| | Discovering Magic with Andrew Pinard
APRIL, MAY, AND JUNE PERFORMANCES HAVE BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC.
This “mind-numbing, jaw-dropping, eye-opening” experience takes audiences on a guided tour of the impossible and the absurd. Using only the most ordinary of objects, accomplished actor, conjuror, puppeteer, storyteller, and award-winning performer Pinard brings the ordinary to life with the most surprising results.
The only show of its kind in the New England, audiences have traveled from throughout New England and beyond to experience sleight of hand, con games, psychology, history, science, comedy, political spin, and more through the eyes of a “perceptual engineer” on his quest to explore distortion and guile. Audiences can expect a truly unique experience and insight into how remarkable human perception and interpretation can be!
Now in its 7th Season of monthly performances!
2020: 1/8, 2/12, 3/4, 4/8, 5/13, 6/3, 7/15, 8/12.

Some Holiday written by Justin Scarelli; music & lyrics by Marina Altschiller and Justin Scarelli.
Rogue Productions.
Grace and Dan are college sweethearts, trying to pay the bills and settle into married life, when an unexpected pregnancy is thrown into the mix. Sam, a commitment-phobe, struggles when his boyfriend Chris reveals he has a child from a previous relationship. Tracy and Miles gave up their performer lifestyles for their son, but Tracy’s Broadway dreams are still calling. Some Holiday, an original musical written by Justin Scarelli, with music and lyrics by Justin Scarelli and Marina Altschiller, explores the thread that holds all of these relationships together: the uneasy, often humorous, endearing acceptance of becoming a parent.
Fridays & Saturdays @ 7:30pm; Sundays @ 2pm.

Scene Changes by Donald Tongue
New World Theatre.
"It's a Broadway traveling show, a theatrical purgatory, and the only reason any of us are here is because we failed to land a role in a production without wheels!" So explains Samantha Wheelwright, ex-Brit, star of stage and film, but whose faltering career has landed her in the role of Mrs. Cratchit in a traveling production of A Christmas Carol. Her co-star playing Bob Cratchit has taken ill and is in hospital in Burlington, VT. When the show arrives in Concord NH the producer is forced to hire a young local actor, Matthew Simmons, to fill in. This unlikely pairing immediately erupts into a colossal clash of wills as star-struck youthful enthusiasm slams headlong into mid-life cynical realism - and the scene changes.
Fridays & Saturdays @ 7:30pm; Sundays @ 2pm.

The Great Atlantic & Pacific Shakespeare Company by Alan Lindsay.
The Granite Playwrights.
An ambitious company of Shakespearean actors falls on hard times. Desperate to stay afloat, the Great Atlantic & Pacific Shakespeare Company rushes to stage a festival of five plays in five days. But Rose’s private feud with Biron, her former lover, threatens to bring the curtain crashing down on all their plans. Can Henry, the newly hired director, negotiate peace? Will upstart Nate or cynical Paula bump Biron and Rose from their lead roles? Do Mark and Cleo need the company more than the company needs them? And where will they get the money to make the show go on?
