SUMMARY:BRUSH|REED
DESCRIPTION:Free to the public \nReserve Tickets\n\nBRUSH|REED is a collaboration between visual artist\, Linnea Maas\, and musician\, Dr. Jennifer Bill\, to explore the parallels of painting and sound through live performance. BRUSH|REED engages an audience through color\, pitch\, representational lines\, rhythm\, intensity and expression: an aural-visual experience. Jennifer transforms the printed notes of her musical score into lush soundscapes\, while Linnea further interprets the music into visual color and form on her fresh canvas. The live art that blooms at every BRUSH|REED performance captivates and moves audiences. The paintings that emerge establish a visual memory of the sights\, sounds\, and emotions of each intimate affair\, impressing upon each audience member a feeling of symbiosis between the two disciplines presented to them. \nReserve Tickets

SUMMARY:The Producers
DESCRIPTION:$35/Members\n$40/Non-Members \nPurchase Tickets\n\nThe Producers\nA Mel Brooks Musical\nBook by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan\nMusic and Lyrics by Mel Brooks \nThe plot is simple: a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history\, thereby bilking their backers (all “little old ladies”) out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously offensive “Springtime for Hitler”)\, hiring a director\, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds is a lesson in broad comic construction. At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends. \nPurchase Tickets

Although Horton faces ridicule\, danger\, kidnapping and a trial\, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him.

SUMMARY:Double Impact
DESCRIPTION:Tickets are $20 OR proof of equivalent 2022 donation to IRAP or MIRA \nPurchase Tickets\n\nThe Double Impact chamber group is a double quintet ensemble – brass and woodwind – made up of professional and semi-professional musicians from the North Shore and Greater Boston areas.  Their goal is to promote works originally written for this specific orchestration\, as well as other lesser-known chamber pieces\, while donating their artistry to help fulfill an urgent need. \nDouble Impact previously performed in concert in 2017\, featuring works by Robert Washburn and Aaron Copland and raising funds for Direct Aid in the aftermath of Hurricanes Harvey\, Irma and Maria.  This time\, they have again banded together to provide support for the mass of refugees fleeing Afghanistan and Ukraine. All proceeds from ticket sales for the Firehouse Center concert will be donated to the International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP\, https://refugeerights.org/). IRAP organizes law students and pro-bono attorneys to develop and enforce a set of legal and human rights for refugees and displaced persons\, advancing legal pathways to safety for the world’s most persecuted individuals and empowering the next generation of human rights leaders. Utilizing the lessons learned in individual casework\, IRAP advocates for systemic changes that benefit broader refugee populations\, finding creative ways to partner with broad coalitions to push for global refugee protections. \nDouble Impact is supported in part by grants from the Ipswich and Massachusetts Cultural Councils. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:An Evening with Donato Tramuto
DESCRIPTION:FREE \nReserve Your Spot\n\nHeld at the Firehouse Center for the Arts in Market Square in Newburyport\, and in partnership with TURNING POINT\, INC.\, the authors’ presentation will be followed by a conversation with Phil Johnston\, President and CEO of Johnston Associates\, Karen Nascembeni\, General Manager of North Shore Music Theatre\, and Jim Geraghty\, Managing Director\, Morgan Stanley\, and moderated by Tom Rosa\, an audience question and answer session\, and a book signing. \nThis event coincides with the announcement of NATIONAL COMPASSIONATE LEADERSHIP WEEK – the brainchild of Tramuto and his TramutoPorter Foundation. National Compassionate Leadership Week celebrates compassionate leaders by bringing attention to the proven benefits of compassionate leadership through use of empathy in action to garner the greatest impact. It shows through their own example that it is possible to be compassionate and deliver strong results at the same time. In fact\, leading with compassion produces stronger results whether it be in business\, education\, politics or in our own families and communities. \nReserve Your Spot\n\nABOUT THE BOOK\n‘The Double Bottom Line’ shares original research fielded among 1\,500 US workers\, and in-depth interviews with 40 successful leaders who practice compassionate leadership. Tramuto’s research exposed a compassionate leadership gap — leaders express support for compassionate practices\, but most workers don’t perceive their leaders to be practicing compassionate leadership adequately\, if at all. Tramuto puts forth proven strategies to close that compassionate leadership gap and drive results. Filled with inspiring stories and actionable examples from successful high-profile employers\, ‘The Double Bottom Line’ defines a new model of leadership and examines how to cultivate more compassionate people. The book has been on Amazon’s best seller list and has been featured in numerous Amazon categories as a top 100 best seller. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nRecognized by The New York Times as a global health activist\, Donato J. Tramuto is the former CEO of Tivity Health and founder of the TramutoPorter Foundation and Health eVillages. He has nearly four decades of business leadership experience and is most notable for his ability to balance transactional and transformational leadership within organizations. Tramuto launched two successful start-ups\, led the turnaround of a public healthcare company\, and executed innovative programs leading to sustainable business results through his Compassionate Leadership approach. He was the recipient of the prestigious Robert F. Kennedy Ripple of Hope Award in 2014 and the Robert F. Kennedy Embracing His Legacy Award in 2017. In 2014\, he was awarded the Pharma Lifetime Achievement Award for his many decades of work around balance profits with doing good.
