A full weekend indeed.
A brand new theater company is bringing a much-lauded play to Easthampton for their debut production. Heartbeat Theater will perform a nuanced exploration of family, insight, and mental illness through David Auburn’s “PROOF” at CitySpace, and we talk with actor Kimberly Gaughan and director Jason Rose-Langston about both performance and process.
And, we meet with our friendly neighborhood ice hockey team, the Springfield Thunderbirds. They are the latest in a long line of AHL hockey teams to call western Mass. home, and we sit with President Nate Costa to hear how the team and organization does much more than score goals to engage with and create community, including a MLK Jr. matinee game this Monday.
Plus, Live Music Friday brings in Boston group Almost Olive who have been honing their sound through undergrad, graduate school, across New England and beyond. Jacqui Armbruster and Karl Henry make music that remains folx-based while being sonicly agnostic, and we give you a taste of what they will perform tonight in North Adams at Studio 9.
