Healing Through Music: Two Ukulele Ladies
THURSDAY, MARCH 19th, 7pm

This uplifting concert features an array of tunes you know and love, arranged for vocals and ukulele, everything from the American Songbook and jazz standards to ZZ Top. Amy, from Lewiston, Maine, learns five cover songs weekly to continue to heal from a brain injury sustained in 2017 from Lyme disease she didn't know she had. Eliza, from Falmouth, Maine, used the ukulele to find her way back to music after a shocking cancer diagnosis in 2025. Both Curtis and Watson will share their stories of how music helped them reclaim their health after debilitating illness as they put their unique spin on the songs that have helped them heal.

With Special Guest Julia Gagnon (American Idol Finalist)
FRIDAY, MARCH 20th, 7:30pm
From street corners to sold-out stages, country blues singer Chris James has built a devoted following drawn to his gritty authenticity, velvet-rough vocals, and soul-stirring guitar work. Now, he invites audiences to experience his music up close in Sunrise Sober, an intimate concert event celebrating the journey, the music, and the moments that changed everything. Known across Maine for his magnetic live presence and deeply felt performances, James first captivated listeners as a busker, where passersby quickly became fans. Today, his concerts blend original songs with carefully chosen covers, each delivered with emotional honesty and a storyteller’s heart. Sunrise Sober promises an evening that feels less like a performance and more like a shared experience — stripped down, heartfelt, and unforgettable. Fans can expect soulful melodies, raw blues grit, and the kind of musical connection that only happens when artist and audience meet without barriers.
LACE CURTAIN IRISH
By Carolyn Gage
SATURDAY, MARCH 21st, 2pm & 7:30pm
On August 4, 1892, Andrew and Abigail Borden were murdered in their home in Fall River. Two persons were in house that morning: their daughter Lizzie and the Irish maid, Bridget Sullivan.Thirty-five years after the infamous Fall River axe murders, Bridget, working in her kitchen in Anaconda, Montana, opens a newspaper to read about the death of the alleged murderer, Lizzie Borden. A story hidden in plain sight, full of clues cloaked in time, memory erased in the moment it happened. This play is a reminder that nothing is simple, or singular and we are all a moment aways from hurting or helping. Starring Katie Migdal, this haunting theatrical event is not just a play — it’s a reckoning.
