Lost Nation Theater
Presents
Sam & Jim in Hell-
a reading of a new play by Jeanne Beckwith
7pm on St. Patrick's Day-
Wednesday, March 17th, 2021
Live but Online Only
Free!
(Registration required to receive link)
The idea for Sam & Jim in Hell came as playwright Beckwith walked along the banks of the River Liffey in Dublin about 18 months ago. Jeanne saw the Samuel Beckett Bridge, and wondered what Beckett might think about a bridge named in his honor.
She thought about how Beckett - and his compatriot James Joyce - had both become Irish icons in spite of their feeling estranged from the Ireland of their time. And then she thought, "That must be hell for them!" At that moment, Beckwith started writing the play in her head.
The play is about language, about genius, about memory, about friendship and broken relationships. Oh hell, it's about Life!

Barre Opera House
The Second Century Campaign
There's Still Time to Sponsor A Seat!
When the Covid-19 virus hit in March, The Barre Opera House's regular programming and, consequently, all its revenue streams came to a screeching halt. So, too, did fundraising their capital campaign, which was to be completed by April 2021, in order to begin work in the summer. Projects included repainting the theater, replacing antiquated rigging system and installing new seating. Despite having to raise the remaining third of the $1 million needed, the Opera House got down to business and began project work in early spring of last year. They are now at 90% of their campaign fundraising goal and, at this point, are relying on the generosity of their patrons - folks like you who value their shows and use the theater - to carry them to the finish line. We hope you will help! Donors who contribute $350+ will have the opportunity to have their names or the name of another designee engraved on a brass plaque on one of their new seats! Click here for more information and to make your donations today!
