SUMMARY:First Night
DESCRIPTION:Tickets: $22 \n*Firehouse members receive a 10% discount \n\nPurchase Tickets\n\n\nIt’s New Year’s Eve\, 1985. Danny Fleming\, mid-thirties\, is about to close up his neighborhood video store for the evening when into the store pops a woman he believes he remembers from his grammar school days. What he remembers most is that she went away to be a nun. Why is she there? Why does he care? What does she want to rent?  Acting Out’s production features the stellar performances of John Manning and Jocelyn Duford\, who have brought these delightful characters to the Actors Studio Theatre in Newburyport\, the Larcom Theatre in Beverly\, the Hatbox Theatre in Concord\, NH\, and the Merrimack Repertory Theatre in Lowell\, where audiences raved at their comic chemistry. The Los Angeles Times called FIRST NIGHT “A delight!\,”  the New York Post told its readers “You can’t help cheering!” and the Boston Globe said of the play that it’s “A lovely riff of magic…touch it for yourself.” A special treat for New Year’s week\, guaranteed to trigger many laughs and warm hearts. \n  \nWritten and Directed by Jack Neary \nFeaturing Jocelyn Duford and John Manning \n  \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:The Sweetback Sisters Annual Country Christmas Singalong Spectacular
DESCRIPTION:Tickets: $30 for adults\, $20 for children \nPurchase Tickets\n\nChristmastime is here again and so are the Sweetback Sisters with their annual Country Christmas Singalong Spectacular! This wildly popular show (returning to Newburyport for the sixth year in a row) delivers a veritable explosion of yuletide splendor\, complete with trivia\, prizes\, and\, of course\, all the holiday tunes you know and love. Year-round\, the Sweetback Sisters and their band of brothers wow audiences with their precise\, family-style harmonies and blazing instrumentals. For this show\, the Queens of Christmastime bring their signature mix of modern nostalgia to a wide array of holiday classics and hidden gems that are sure to get even your scroogiest uncle in a festive spirit. Songbooks and plenty of warm fuzzy feelings provided. \nHailed as “brilliant” by NBC New York\, The Sweetback Sisters first emerged in 2007 with their debut EP\, ‘Bang!’ The collection earned them a record deal with stalwart indie label Signature Sounds\, and over the course of three ensuing albums\, the band built a dedicated following in the US and Europe and racked up a heap of critical acclaim. The New Yorker raved that the women are “strong singers who revel in close harmonies\,” while Sing Out! said that their music “bristles with the energy of the very best young American performers\,” and NPR praised them as “Americana darlings with a roadhouse edge.” With a live show that The Boston Globe described as “the perfect balance of sass\, sincerity and swing\,” the Sisters have performed everywhere from A Prairie Home Companion to Mountain Stage and graced festivals from coast to coast in addition to selling out theaters with their annual Country Christmas Singalong Spectacular. \nProceeds from this performance benefit the Christmas Tree Santas. The local non-profit has a holiday mission to spread hope and joy by giving free Christmas trees with lights and ornaments to low-income families. This year the Santas will give away over 2\,000 trees to individuals in need.  \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:Session Americana with Ali McGuirk
DESCRIPTION:Purchase Tickets\n\nSession Americana (Boston) is a rock band in a tea cup\, or possibly a folk band in a whiskey bottle. This band/collective of talented musicians craft a musical experience unlike any other. On stage is a collapsible bar table wired with microphones\, a vintage suitcase recast as a kick drum\, an old Estey field organ\, a pre-war parlor guitar\, a mandocello and all of its smaller siblings\, a harmonica case fire damaged when Jack’s bar went up in flames and graffitied by Depeche Mode roadies\, and an assortment of other instruments that get passed around in this freewheeling modern hootenanny. The anything-could-happen feel of a Session show depends on craft that’s not accidental or easily won; they bring a kind of ease and genuineness to this timeless music\, sometimes presenting the latest batch of original songs\, sometimes reaching back into depths of the American “song bag”. \nCheck out their 2018 album\, Live at the Haybarn Theatre: \n \nIf you like…\n\nEilen Jewell\nLula Wiles\nJonathan Byrd\nThe Black Lillies\n\nYou’ll like Session Americana. \nCheck out Session Americana’s website here  \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:Full Moon Story Slam
DESCRIPTION:Tickets: $20 \nPurchase Tickets\n\n2019 is the sixth year of our successful story slam program. In 2019\, The Actors Studio of Newburyport hosted four story slams\, all at the Studio’s black box theatre. Tonight’s Super Story Slam is the year’s finale in which we invite all of our 2019 Full Moon Story Slam winners to tell us one more tale – this time a longer story focused around the theme – Destiny. \nThe Story Slam is our chance to gather friends and share true stories from our lives. Simply put\, a story slam is a competition based on the art of storytelling. It puts a dual emphasis on content and performance\, encouraging storytellers to focus on what they’re saying and how they’re saying it. It is an exercise in crafting stories within a set time limit and it is great entertainment! Story slammers sign up on the night to tell a 5-minute short story on the evening’s theme. There are opportunities for one-minute stories too! \nThe three criteria for the judges:\n1.) The story has an arc: a beginning\, a point of change\, and a resolution.\n2.) Presentation of the story.\n3.) Time (no longer than five minutes) and connection to the them \n  \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:The Nutcracker
DESCRIPTION:Tickets: $26 for 1pm & 3pm show\, $28 for 7pm show* \n*All 7pm ticket holders are invited to a 6:00pm gala with hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar \nPurchase Tickets\n\nJoin us for this very special production of Methuen Ballet Ensemble’s The Nutcracker. Methuen Ballet Ensemble\, an established local ballet company under the artistic direction of Vanessa Rae Voter\, has staged The Nutcracker for over twenty-five years. \nPrincipal roles are performed by members of Methuen Ballet Ensemble\, whose experience totals over 150 years of classical ballet training under Ms. Voter’s tutelage. This year’s production will also feature a very special Guest Artist Mr. Alban Costello of Festival Ballet Providence in the roles of Snow King and Sugar Plum Cavalier. Ethiopian by birth\, Alban Birhanu Costello began his ballet education at the age of 8. While at Southold Dance Theatre under the directorship of Erica Fischbach\, Mr. Costello was awarded a full merit scholarship to attend the University of North Carolina School of the Arts at the age of 15. There he trained under Susan Jaffe\, Misha Tchoupakov\, Jared Redick\, Ilya Kozadayev and others while working with world renowned choreographers such as Goyo Montero and Helen Picket. Alban placed within the top three competitors at numerous Youth America Grand Prix competitions from Denver to New York. He also was chosen as one of two UNCSA representatives who attended the 2019 Prix de Lausanne Choreographic Workshop.

Dancers hail from Methuen\, Lawrence\, Haverhill\, Boxford\, N. Andover\, Georgetown\, Wenham\, Middleton\, and Newburyport\, MA as well as Salem\, Pelham\, Londonderry\, Plaistow\, Windham\, and Manchester\, NH. \nEach year\, this production has become more elaborate with stunning visual effects and custom-designed costumes. All performances include a giant growing Christmas tree\, a heavenly mist\, and an abundance of snowfall. Note: No chemicals will be used during this production. The mist effect will be achieved with the lighting design. \nHistory of the Methuen Ballet Ensemble: \nVanessa Rae Voter founded Methuen Ballet Ensemble in 1989 as a platform for promising students to showcase their talents\, performing both classical and modern ballets for the public. Her inspiration came from her years as a dancer with Boston Ballet. During the audition process for The Nutcracker\, those children not cast in roles touched her\, by their disappointment and tears. She vowed that someday she would have a company of her own\, where every child who auditioned would be guaranteed a part. She realized her dream and has been successfully staging The Nutcracker for over 20 years\, never having rejected an auditioning dancer. \nAbout Vanessa Rae Voter: \nVanessa Rae Voter is Artistic Director and Choreographer for Methuen Ballet Ensemble\, a semi-professional ballet company. She is also Director of the Classical Ballet program at Voter’s School of Dance\, founded by her mother\, Pam Voter\, in 1951. \nMs. Voter attended The Boston Conservatory.

Her photographs reveal the beauty in our shared humanity – in the universal as well as personal experience of women encountering the challenges of growing up regardless of background\, culture and religion.\n\n\nMatar was a recipient of the 2018 Guggenheim Fellowship. \n\nRAFFLE\nThere will be a raffle at the end of the lecture for: \nA Girl and Her Room\nPublished by UMBRAGE EDITIONS\nEssays by SUSAN MINOT and ANNE TUCKER \n1 ticket for $1  —  5 tickets for $4  —  10 tickets for $8\n \n \nAbout the book\nAward-winning photographer Rania Matar’s A Girl and Her Room reveals the lives of girls from two disparate worlds – The U.S. and Lebanon.

SUMMARY:Front Country
DESCRIPTION:Tickets: $15*\n*Firehouse members receive a 10% discount \nPurchase Tickets\n\nIt wasn’t a given that these musicians would wind up in anything remotely resembling a bluegrass band. Singer Melody Walker got into world music and belted out roots-rock. Bassist Jeremy Darrow studied jazz. Leif Karlstrom trained as a classical violinist\, and still prefers that title to “fiddle player.” Mandolinist Adam Roszkiewicz studied classical guitar at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. \nIn the bluegrass world\, musicians tend to define themselves by their relationships to tradition — specifically\, the tradition of high-and-lonesome singing and a hard-driving sound. There are regional variations from Virginia to Colorado. The West Coast has its own freewheeling tradition\, and that’s where Front Country started out: at a monthly jam in San Francisco. Then its members heard about a band contest at a bluegrass festival. \n“And we ended up winning that band competition\,” Walker says. “The very next day\, I made a website for the band because I thought maybe people will be Googling Front Country at that point\, possibly.” \nFrom that point on\, Front Country was a serious band. \nHave a listen: \n \nIf you like…\n\nThe Travelin’ McCourys\nHoneysuckle\nThe Steel Wheels\nDella Mae\n\nYou’ll like Front Country. \nPurchase Tickets
