Community Calendar

The Verb Takes a Walk along the shore of our lake. Test the waters with us on Sunday, September 7, from 3 to 5 p.m.

This Savage Club series, on the first Sunday of just about every month, is back from a summer vacation. Join us for readings of original and found poetry and music, this month exploring the lake.

Refreshments and admission, as always, are free.

Prior events have featured poets Janie Bibbie, Peaches Gillette, Brooke Lange, Daphne Sola, Adin Ljuca, Mike Finn, Gregory Busby, Natalie Lister, Wendy Babiak, Barbara Regenspan, Fran Markover, Kevin Basl, Eric Evans, Sam Foley, Rusty Boseman and Mark Zuss, painter Tommy Beers, and musicians Hugh McElyea, Brian Wansink, Tony Lister, Ira Kamp, Jeremy Beutel, Tony Pesco, Christopher Loy and DuWayne Perry.

Collaborative work among poets, musicians, dancers and other artists is encouraged. Send poems and inquiries to poet Mark Zuss, mlzuss@outlook.com, or composer Hugh McElyea, hugomac@gmail.com.

The September event will be even better with you there!

We are happy to have the support of the Community Arts Partnership

Dirt is a one-man show that explores the challenges and decisions that young people face every day. By approaching things through the lens of mental health, Dirt gets to the heart of issues related to drugs, bullying, and self-esteem in a manner that resonates with audiences in a real and meaningful way. Through the portrayal of relatable and memorable characters, John Morello gives voice to those who sometimes feel as though they are not heard and reassurance to those who sometimes feel as though they are not understood. John does not preach, teach, or lecture; instead, he takes audiences on a journey that challenges them to think about the choices they make and how those choices impact their own lives and the lives of those around them.
