November 2017
The holiday season is around the corner once again. If you're like me, your holiday to-do list can be overwhelming. Luckily, I have a special tip for crossing two items off that list at the same time. Our annual NHPBS Online Holiday Auction is a great way to support a non-profit you love, while shopping for unique gifts for your friends and family. The NHPBS Online Holiday Auction begins November 15 and runs until December 7. You can bid on hundreds of items, from gorgeous gift baskets to oneof-a-kind experiences. It all takes place online at nhpbs.org/auction, which means you can bid while curled up watching your favorite NHPBS programs or while on the go. Not only are the unique gifts from local businesses, bidding on them is just plain fun. Placing the winning bid is that much sweeter when you know that every penny supports the programming you love. Thank you for your support! Peter Frid NHPBS President & CEO
Thanksgiving Family Fun! Anne of Green Gables: The Good Stars
Great Performances: Holiday Inn
Anne Shirley is turning 13. She faces all the fun and uncertainty of becoming a teenager, including a new friendship with Gilbert Blythe, that disrupts her peaceful world. Her freespirited nature is challenged by her desire to be sensible, a goal fraught with confusion and amusing mishaps.
Kick off the holiday season with The Roundabout Theatre Company's Broadway adaptation of the classic 1942 movie musical. Bursting with a hit parade of Irving Berlin's most famous tunes, Holiday Inn features thrilling dance numbers and laugh-out-loud comedy. It's a joyful classic, with all the spirit of Hollywood's golden age and a contemporary sparkle that pairs perfectly with one more slice of pie.
