Big Nancy's Journey
Storyteller Cindy Pierce celebrated the life of her mother Nancy at the Briggs Opera House. She passed at age 93 of dementia. "As we got towards the end of her life, there wasn't much conversation....but connection. Just soothing her and just giving her some release. It felt like such a gift to her," said Pierce who runs Pierce's Inn in Etna. The event benefited Walk for Alzheimer's and JAM.

Once Upon a Time
Deep in the woods, a lovely couple had twins. One was a beautiful baby girl with strawberry hair. Her name was Holly. The other twin was a hideous wolf with blood-colored eyes and shining white fangs. Learn what happens in this short animated stop-motion film by JAM intern Lia Golec. Lia got her start at CATV camp as a kid and now studies film and writing at Ithaca College.

Not Light, But Fire
There's a new tradition in Lebanon and beyond. Every year across the state of NH, towns get together to read Fredrick Douglass' electrifying speech "What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?" Delivered on July 5, 1852, the abolitionist said, "It is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder." Check out this 2019 Lebanon recital, and attend this year's reading at Colburn Park this Saturday 6/29 at noon.

A student-run production
Friday, June 28 7PM
Saturday, June 29 2PM &
Sunday, June, 30 1PM
“377” is a play about the grief and trauma of gun violence told through the perspective of high schoolers before and after a school shooting. No violence is ever portrayed on stage and collaborators Arlo Hastings and Seth Kelly put in months of research ahead of writing “377” with the goal of making the play as accurate as possible.
Sarlo Productions advised by Lebanon High School Choral Music and Theater Arts Teacher, Emma Cooke. “377” was created as part of a JAM High School Media Fellowship under the guidance of JAM technical director and senior producer, Chico Eastridge.
