SUMMARY:Marie Antoinette
DESCRIPTION:For more information or to reserve tickets\, please visit mhc.ludus.com \nThe Mount Holyoke College Department of Film Media Theater ends the 2024-25 season with a bold and inventive play by David Adjmi\, “Marie Antoinette.” \nIn Adjmi’s contemporary take on the young queen of France\, Marie is a confection created by a society that values extravagance and artifice. But France’s love affair with the royals sours as revolution brews\, and for Marie\, the political suddenly becomes very personal. From the light and breezy banter at the palace to the surging chants of “Liberté\, Egalité\, Fraternité!” in the streets\, “Marie Antoinette” holds a mirror up to our contemporary society that might just be entertaining itself to death. \nThis production is directed by Mariana Considine ‘25. Set Design by Vannessa James\, Costume Design by Jensen Glick\, Lighting Design by Sam Skynner\, and Sound Design by Gillian Tomlinson ‘25.

SUMMARY:Songs and Stories of Appalachia and Small Town America
DESCRIPTION:We bring an appreciation for small town life that will resonate with the local community. We place our songs in a historical\, folkloric context with stories and images to set the stage. We banter with one another and with our audience. But mostly we sing in the kind of tight\, high mountain harmony that comes from living and loving together for thirty years\, having met in the Valley and recently returned after 26 years as West Virginia-based folklorists\, oral historians\, and music makers. Our guitar accompaniments are also in closely arranged harmony\, with Michael’s melodic lines and Carrie’s rhythm and runs\, elevated by Joe Blumenthal on upright bass and Jim Armenti on mandolin. We specialize in songs of working people\, Appalachian songs\, and country duets of people and nature\, with a couple of country love songs woven into the mix.

SUMMARY:Musings Along the Way - With Local Author Martha Johnson
DESCRIPTION:Musings Along the Way \nIn this set of books I reflect in poetry on my 11-year journey (1997- 2008) to hope and healing.  Interestingly enough\, folks grappling with the changes\, challenges and temporary despair of the world situation AND their own aging transitions\, may find them an encouraging  resource. We are not alone! \nFor me\, I was “writing for my life”  pouring out feelings which would ultimately help me heal.  I encourage anyone to respond to their tough life issues in writing\, painting\, crying and laughing.  Originally published in 2002 & 2011.     New Covers and New Forward in 2023. \nVol 1 – Tears\, Lies and Fresh Fruit Pies (1997-2001)\nVol 2 – Pain\, Persistence and Purifying Waters (2002-2008)
