The Trichomes
“The Newmarket-based quartet harnesses the eclecticism of their jam-influenced idols, like Lettuce, Soulive, and Consider the Source, showcasing funk, jazz, blues, hip-hop, and even gypsy music… The Trichomes craft hip-swinging tunes with melodies and harmonies that weave through one another, one riff fading out as another takes its place.” -Austin Sorette (The Sound)
New Hampshire Cemeteries and Gravestones
Rubbings, photographs and slides illustrate the rich variety of gravestones to be found in one’s own neighborhoods, but they also tell long-forgotten stories of such historical events as the Great Awakening, the Throat Distemper epidemic, and the American Revolution. Find out more about these deeply personal works of art and the craftsmen who carved them with Glenn Knoblock, and learn how to read the stone “pages” that give insight into the vast genealogical book of New Hampshire. A NH Humanities Council program, free and open to the public.
The free summer evening programs are held in the Great Room at the Summit Lodge on Thursdays at 7 pm. The public is invited to all programs.
Set at the very top of Mt. Prospect in Lancaster, the John Wingate Weeks Historic Site’s house and grounds provide a 360-degree panorama of mountain splendor, including the Presidential Range of the White Mountains, the Green Mountains of Vermont, the Kilkenny Range, the Percy Peaks, and the upper Connecticut River Valley.

A dynamic group of Charlotte, NC “rock stars” playing music to have the most amount of fun that we can. We have been playing together for over 15 years and are lawyers, builders, bankers, artists, techies and entrepreneurs. While we have played at parties, bars, outdoor events and the infamous Double Door Inn, we love to explore playing at places where people have a good time! We have raised over $35,000 for charity over the years and continue to work on our chops so we can entertain our friends and “fans”. We play Classic Rock music from the ’60s – ’80s Golden Era, and some of the best more recent songs
OPENING NIGHT! CHICAGO, The Musical
Book by Fred Ebb & Bob Fosse
Music by John Kander
Lyrics by Fred Ebb
This sinister and sexy musical is a must-see for any Fosse fan or fan of celebrity crime. Set in Jazz Age Chicago, the story follows the trial and deeds of two murderesses — Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly — who are locked in the Cook County Jail. Based on the true crime coverage of Chicago’s surge of female killers, Chicago takes on the system and wins. Laced with great numbers such as “All That Jazz,” “Cell Block Tango,” and “Razzle Dazzle,” and iconic choreography, Chicago is a fast-paced, fun and raunchy ride in the theater. Don’t miss it!
“Chicago still glitters hypnotically! It remains the best adult entertainment in town and still bubbles with the joy of performing!”
– Ben Brantley, the New York Times (2007)
