there are some slots available for adults, especially in the choir, and the company is looking to add some new kids to the mix as well.

In particular, the company is looking for a new Tiny Tim as the talented performer from the past three years is no longer tiny!

There is no age or height requirement but the shorter the better, and the role could be played by a boy or girl. The performer should be able to handle several lines as well as an important solo singing part in the finale so confidence and a good ear for music is a must.

All the details on how to audition for any role can be found at powerhousenh.org/auditions and the registration form and video submission is due by Sept. 15. Rehearsals will begin Oct. 20 and will generally be Sunday afternoons, and Monday and Wednesday evenings. Not all actors are called to every rehearsal and the registration form provides an opportunity to list any conflicts you may have.

If you have any questions email info@powerhousenh.org to find out more. Powerhouse’s 2024 season continues with a staged reading of The Immigrant on Sept. 7 and 8, and an exciting theatre adventure at Prescott Farm called Alices Adventure in Wonderland on Sept. 15, 21, and 22 that is appropriate for all ages.

Kicking off with ‘The Odyssey’ Portsmouth’s Pontine Theatre kicks off its 47th Season with performances of Odysseus by guest artist, William George, founding director of Pennsylvania’s Kingfisher Theatre.

His latest creation is a fresh and intimate interpretation of the eternal Greek legend, The Odyssey. This timeless tale follows the mythical ten-year journey of one man, Odysseus, struggling to make his way home after the Trojan War. In a stage performance that is at once epic and “breath taking”— with live musical soundscapes performed by percussionist Rob Aptaker — this new solo work from William George, with directorial assistance from

Gerard Stropnicky (cofounder of Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble) is a sensory experience and a oncein-a-decade theatre event not to be missed.

Guest Artist, William George, performs ODYSSEUS at Pontine Theatre, September 20-22. Performances are Friday at 7 p.m., Saturday at 3 p.m. & Sunday at 2 p.m.

The season continues with performances of T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartetsby guest artist, John Farrell (Director of Freeport, Maine’s Figures of Speech).

Mr. Farrell committed to memory the 886 lines of Four Quartets and now tours internationally with his recitation of this epic poem.

An unquestioned masterpiece of 20th-century literature, Four Quartets is a complex, deeply moving meditation on time, memory, and human striving toward the divine. Writing at the height of his artistic powers, Eliot packed into Four Quartets a summation of his views on poetry and art, on mystical experience, and on humankind’s relationship to history and time.

October 25-27 Pontine Theatre presents guest artist, John Farrell, performing T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets. Performances are Friday at 7 p.m., Saturday at 3 p.m. & Sunday at 2 p.m.

What will Constance do when Mrs. Fog no longer needs her services?

Constance hopes to find a job as a bookkeeper (she ran a large estate and did the books during the war). But there are many people applying for just a few jobs.

After helping win the war by doing all sorts of jobs being mechanics, factory workers, and dispatch riders - young women are seeing their freedoms and jobs being taken away from

them. And society is beginning to change.

This is a great story with charming characters, humor, and some daring exploits. It also deals with serious issues of prejudice and hardships after the war. If you like historical fiction with lively, unusual characters, you should give The Hazelbourne Ladies Motor-

cycle and Flying Club a try.

Helen Simonson is also author of The Summer Before the War and Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand. I really enjoyed reading those two novels as well.

history A town history reports: “For several days previous, the smell of smoke had filled the air. The sun and sky were red in the early morning. As noon approached, this changed to a yello and everything to be seen, buildings, foliage and the sky, assumed the same shade.

Lamps were necessary in dwellings and stores, cattle came to the barns as for the night and hens went to roost. In some instances, schools were dismissed.

Two or three days passed before the atmosphere was a clear as usual.”

Roof Protection and Innovation for Your Home.

Concord Insider — Thursday, September 5, 2024 12

Sept. 6, 2001: The state Supreme Court warns police departments that while not required by law, it is “good policy” to advise people that they have a right to refuse to consent to a warrantless search of their person of property. The court also sharply criticizes a Chesterfield police officer who failed to follow this procedure even after he illegally detained a black college student to search him for drugs without good reason.

Sept. 6, 1881: Bristol experiences what becomes known as the “Yellow Day.”

Sept. 5, 1905: The Russian-Japanese peace treaty is signed at Portsmouth.

Sept. 5, 1929: Amateur radio enthusiast Robert Byron of 15 Fayette St. in Concord talks for an hour with Robert E. Byrd’s South Pole expedition 12,000 miles away. He says the reception is remarkably clear.

Two years earlier, Byrd spoke to a packed house at the City Auditorium.

Byron’s radio exploits are well known in town. The year before, he was the first to inform the Germans by radio that the Bremen had reached Greenley Island in Canada, meaning that three German pilots had succeeded in making the first east-to-west transatlantic flight.

Sept. 5, 1865: Amy Marcy Cheney Beach is born in Henniker. She will grow up to be a prominent composer and pianist, playing concerts in the United States and Europe.

Congratulations Emily our September Pediatric Practice Member of the Month Sports impacts, poor posture, technology use and even the birth process can misalign vertebrae and create unwanted spinal patterns during important growing years.
