The Continentals have been performing in New England, and beyond, since the band’s inception in the early 1970s. Best known for their multiple performances each summer at the Hampton Beach Seashell Stage, and for playing many MS Mount Washington dinner cruises on Lake Winnipesaukee for close to 4 decades, they have also had the pleasure of being asked to play for audiences in Las Vegas, Amelia Island FL, Detroit, Houston, and Disneyland in California. Over the years they have developed a diverse catalogue of material that covers a wide variety of genres and decades, and strive to cover as many bases as possible in every show.Featuring Dave Ayotte, Jack Coleman, Mike Livingston, and Don MacNeill.

Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, MONTY PYTHON’S SPAMALOT retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, and features a bevy of beautiful show girls, not to mention cows, killer rabbits, and French people. Did we mention the bevy of beautiful showgirls? The 2005 Broadway production won three Tony® Awards, including Best Musical, and was followed by two successful West End runs. Watch for notices for opening night in Aug.

Welcome back the Peter Smith Trio performing the songs of the Great American Songbook! If you enjoy listening to the songs of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Bobby Darin and Tony Bennett, this is a Trio not to be missed. These guys do a superb job on the swinging standards, such as Cole Porter’s Night and Day and I’ve Got You Under My Skin and are equally adept on more sensitive numbers such as Rogers & Hart’s My Funny Valentine and Hoagy Carmichael’s Georgia On My Mind.

Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Carousel 2 hr 13 min | 2013

Join author and historian Elena Palladino for a discussion of her first book, “Lost Towns of the Swift River Valley: Drowned by the Quabbin.” In April 1938, Swift River Valley residents held a farewell ball to mark the demise of the quintessential New England town of Enfield and its three smaller neighbors, Greenwich, Dana, and Prescott. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts was sacrificing these towns to build the Quabbin, a massive reservoir of drinking water for residents of Boston. Elena recounts the story of these communities as seen through the eyes of those who lived there until the end. Elena holds a BA in English from Simmons College, an MA in Literary and Cultural Studies from Carnegie Mellon University, and an EdM in higher education from        Harvard University. All are welcome to the presentation.
