For over a decade he photographed everyday life of Buddhist monastics and laypeople in Bhutan\, Myanmar\, China\, Vietnam\, India\, Cambodia\, Japan\, Nepal and Taiwan\, revealing keen insight into the otherwise hushed world of meditation and mindfulness. With his profound feeling for light and composition\, Kolkin’s rare and intimate images capture the uniqueness of each contemplative moment\, as well as the universal reach and inspiration of Buddhist practices. Offering singular images of Buddhist life from across contemporary Asia\, INNER HARMONY documents and celebrates those who are quietly committed to cultivating a nurturing internal environment\nwhere well-being can germinate. \nDr. Jon Kolkin is an internationally recognized artist with a lifetime of experience pursuing his passions while simultaneously maintaining a healthy balance between his personal and professional life. His unique strategies have allowed him to achieve a high level of success as a photographer\, physician\, educator\, global humanitarian\, and international speaker. Kolkin’s images have won numerous awards\, are widely published and have drawn the attention of private and corporate clients worldwide. His artwork has also been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions within the U.S. and abroad. He has served on the faculty of the prestigious Maine Media Workshops and is a frequent guest lecturer at major universities and other venues worldwide. \nReserve Your Spot

SUMMARY:ELF the Musical
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE ANDOVER TOWN HOUSE (OLD TOWN HALL) \n$40/adults\n$35/students and seniors \nPurchase Tickets\n\nPlease note our updated COVID Protocols here. \nBased on the cherished 2003 New Line Cinema hit\, Elf The Musical features songs by Tony Award nominees Matthew Sklar (The Wedding Singer) and Chad Beguelin (Disney’s Aladdin on Broadway)\, with a book by Tony Award winners\, Thomas Meehan (Annie\, The Producers\, Hairspray) and Bob Martin (The Drowsy Chaperone). \nBuddy\, a young orphan\, mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is raised\, unaware that he is actually a human until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa’s permission\, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh realities that his father is on the naughty list and his half-brother doesn’t even believe in Santa\, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas. \nThis modern-day holiday classic is sure to make everyone embrace their inner elf. After all\, the best way to spread Christmas Cheer is singing loud for all to hear. \nSponsored in part by: \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:Full Moon Super Story Slam
DESCRIPTION:Tickets: $20 All Seats \nIN PERSON Tickets\n\nPurchase VIRTUAL Tickets\n\nPlease note our updated COVID Protocols here. \nBefore there was Zoom\, or the internet – before there was television\, radio\, or live streaming – before there was written language – there were stories. It’s how our ancestors made sense of both their world and\, subsequently\, help us to make sense of ours. It’s how knowledge and culture are passed down. It’s how we come to know ourselves and each other. \n2021 is the eighth year of our successful story slam program\, thanks to all our amazing storytellers and the many audiences who have given their support and encouragement to all. \nDecember’s Super Story Slam is our annual finale in which we invite all of our 2021 Full Moon Story Slam winners to tell us one more tale – this time a longer story focused around the theme – Grace. This year we will welcome local storytellers and storytellers from across the nation in a hybrid presentation including live and online presenters. \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 ten minutes) and connection to the theme. \nTo attend IN PERSON\, please choose that option and select your seat. If you feel more comfortable or are unable to attend in person\, please choose the VIRTUAL option and you will receive a link to attend the event online. \nIN PERSON Tickets\n\nPurchase VIRTUAL Tickets

SUMMARY:A Nutcracker Panto

Speck and adapted from the classic holiday ballet. Presented in the traditional British panto style\, this holiday send-up is a family friendly romp through Clara’s adventure with the Nutcracker\, the battle with the Rat King\, and more than likely a Tik Tok dance trend. Holiday Pantos with Theater in the Open are a tradition in Newburyport\, and we are excited to bring back an in-person panto for the first time since December of 2019. Join us! \nAudience members of Theater in the Open’s “A Nutcracker Panto!” are encouraged to bring toiletries\, canned soups\, and other non-perishable items along to the performance; you even get to go up on stage to put them under Clara’s tree for The Pettengill House in Salisbury! \nHere are some suggested “Most Needed” items for the food pantry that are frequently in short supply: \n* Children’s healthy snacks – Some examples include Nutri-bars\, kid’s fruit snacks\, kid’s healthy fruit cups\, granola breakfast bars\, etc. \n* Another category families are always in need of are toiletries\, all the personal care items we take for granted such as toilet paper\, toothpaste\, toothbrushes\, soap\, body wash\, shampoo\, deodorant\, etc. \n*The Pettengill House serves so many families with small children\, diapers are always a big need (especially the larger sizes 4\, 5\, 6 and pull-ups) along with baby wipes.  Some other items include facial tissue\, paper towels\, laundry soap\, dish soap\, plastic utensils\, paper plates\, cups\, can openers. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:Second Act Readers Theater presents THE LION IN WINTER
DESCRIPTION:Tickets: $5 \nPurchase Tickets\n\nSibling rivalry\, adultery\, and dungeons – The Lion in Winter\, by James Goldman\, is a modern-day classic. Comedic in tone\, dramatic in action – the play tells the story of the Plantagenet family\, who are locked in a free-for-all of competing ambitions to inherit a kingdom. The queen\, and wealthiest woman in the world\, Eleanor of Aquitaine\, has been kept in prison since raising an army against her husband\, King Henry II. Let out only for holidays\, the play centers around the inner conflicts of the royal family as they fight over both a kingdom and King Henry’s paramour during the Christmas of 1183. As Eleanor says\, “Every family has its ups and downs\,” and this royal family is no exception. \nOur Second Act Readers Theater takes the stage to offer this full-length play. Multiple actors will play the same role and there will be light blocking to help tell the story. This is a rare opportunity for our actors to really delve into a single work – and only the second time our program has performed a full-length piece. \nThis show is not to be missed! \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:The Revolutionists
DESCRIPTION:$30/members\n$33/non-members \nPurchase Tickets\n\nThe Revolutionists\nBy Lauren Gunderson \nRead the review of our production here \nPlease note our updated COVID Protocols here. \nFour beautiful\, badass women lose their heads in this irreverent\, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Playwright Olympe de Gouges\, assassin Charlotte Corday\, former queen (and fan of ribbons) Marie Antoinette\, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out\, murder Marat\, and try to beat back the extremist insanity in 1793 Paris. This grand and dream-tweaked comedy is about violence and legacy\, art and activism\, feminism and terrorism\, compatriots and chosen sisters\, and how we actually go about changing the world. It’s a true story. Or total fiction. Or a play about a play. Or a raucous resurrection…that ends in a song and a scaffold. \nPurchase Tickets\n\n

SUMMARY:The World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Tickets $40 \nPurchase Tickets\n\n\nThe legendary Glenn Miller was one of the most successful of all dance bandleaders back in the Swing Era of the 1930’s and 40’s. A matchless string of hit records\, the constant impact of radio broadcasts and the drawing power at theatres\, hotels and dance pavilion\, built and sustained the momentum of popularity. Glenn disbanded his musical organization in 1942 at the height of its popularity to volunteer for the Army. There\, he organized and led the famous Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band. After his passing\, interest and popular demand led the Miller Estate to authorize the formation of the present Glenn Miller Orchestra. Today\, the 18 member ensemble continues to play many of the original Miller arrangements both from the civilian band and the AAFB libraries. Additionally\, it also plays some more modern selections arranged and performed in the Miller style and sound. Just as it was in Glenn’s day\, the Glenn Miller Orchestra today is still the most sought after big band in the world.\n\nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:Sarah Borges
DESCRIPTION:$22/members\n$25/non-members \nPurchase Tickets\n\nOne way or another\, Sarah Borges connects with casual mastery. Whether it’s with the comrades she’s collaborated with over nearly 20 sparkling years of music-making\, or the vivid portraits of people’s lives – and occasionally her own – she’s sketched in scores of emotionally resonant songs.  But most of all\, Borges has built a loyal following by connecting\, through her own charismatic\, down-to-earth spirit\, with her audience – whether they’re longtime fans from back when she broke through with her terrific “Silver City” debut in 2004\, or newcomers just now joining the party with her brand new 2022 album\, “Together Alone”\, her eighth. “Sarah’s a fearless writer and performer\,” says producer Eric ‘Roscoe’ Ambel\, “and she’s a very good musician.”   As anyone familiar with Sarah’s songs and performances knows\, genuinely soulful music that connects with us — and connects us to each other — can simultaneously steal\, and heal\, hearts. This connection is what has kept Sarah touring and making music for many years\, and what keeps us coming back to see her do it. \nPurchase Tickets
