Two DJs. One Blizzard. No Records.

When a snowstorm knocks the power out and the local radio station loses its tie to the pre-programmed feed, the guys have to punt, and a rejuvenated station brings back spontaneity and joy to the community it serves. Dave Hudson and Paul Libman (“Muskie Love,” “Cheeseheads: The Musical,” “No Bones About It”) will be debuting their seventh musical comedy written exclusively for Northern Sky.

Special Public Screening of Thomas Bena’s “One Big Home”

One Big Home

A film by Thomas Bena

Bena didn’t start out as a filmmaker. Ten years ago he was making a good living as a carpenter building high-end vacation homes on Martha’s Vineyard. But as the size and number of these giant “trophy homes” continued to increase, Bena, along with many other local residents, began to realize that the proliferation of these giant homes was threatening the island’s unique character, ecosystem, and traditional way of life. So Bena traded his tool belt for a camera in an attempt to understand the motivation behind these giant “trophy homes”, as well as the community’s varying reactions to them.

Ten years in the making, Bena’s film offers a captivating and thought-provoking collage of interviews with homeowners, builders, architects, town officials, and long-time island residents, interspersed with beautiful cinematography and provocative images of the island’s change over time. As an independent documentary, the film has enjoyed great success in screenings across the country and internationally.

Date: Saturday, July 22, 2017

Oscar Wilde’s classic “The Canterville Ghost” is reincarnated in this live Old Time Radio Drama featuring the 9XM Players and host Norman Gilliland.

It’s a ghost story that plays more comic than ghastly. Set in England during World War II, an American family moves into Canterville Manor, the former (and current) home of Sir Simon de Canterville. Sir Simon (in his ghost form) haunts the house and family, trying to scare them off. The Otis family is charmed by the ghost’s attempts to scare them off and proceeds through comic twists and turns to help him reach his final resting place.
