A full weekend indeed.
There’s a brand new theater company bringing a much lauded play to Easthampton for their first production ever. Heartbeat Theater will perform the nuanced exploration of family, insight, and mental illness to the stage of CitySpace and we’ll talk with actor Kimberly Gaughan and director Jason Rose-Langston about both performance and process.
We’ll also meet the president of our friendly local Ice Hockey team just a few blocks from our studio. The Springfield Thunderbirds are the latest in a long line of AHL hockey teams to call western Mass. home and we’ll sit with President Nate Costa to hear how the team and organization does much more than score goals to engage with and create community including a MLK Jr. Day matinee game this Monday.
And Live Music Friday brings in a Boston group who have been honing their sound through under grad, to graduate school and now across new england and beyond. Almost Olive’s core songwriting duo of Jacqui Armbruster and Karl Henry make music that remains folx based, but sonicly agnostic and we’ll give you a taste of what they’ll perform tonight in North Adams at Studio 9.
