Further south they headed to the Serengeti where they captured images of big cats, zebra, wildebeest, and gazelle.  They were able to meet members of the Maasai Tribe and receive a tour of their village.  One more stop at Lake Manyara where they photographed buffalo and many species of birds. 

On the journey north back to Kenya they photographed cityscapes and people in their daily lives.  Truly an amazing adventure to share and inspire.

Bradley Backstage: Mr. Gus & Blue Bus

Hop on the bus, Gus! Award-winning honky-tonk bluesman Erik Ray Gustafson (aka Mr. Gus) is teaming up with local folk/rock/bluegrass/reggae/funk band Blue Bus for a very special Bradley Backstage show at the Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center at 7:30 pm. Blue Bus, who get their name from their rehearsal space on a remodeled blue bus, will recreate an "evening on the bus" in the LHE/PAC's alternative performing space. Over the last 30 years as a professional musician, "Mr. Gus" has established himself as somewhat of a musical anomaly. He plays the guitar, mandolin, harmonica, cajon, hi-hat, upright bass, and accordion—mostly simultaneously. Although he usually advertises his music as honky-tonk blues, it really encompasses many more genres including old country, 1960s rock, jump and swing, jazz, folk, and polka. Bradley Backstage concerts "flip" the theater and seat the audience on stage with the performers, creating a much more intimate and unforgettable live concert experience. Ticket proceeds will benefit the Fryeburg Academy Music Department. 

$15-Adults, $5-Students. Order online at www.fryeburgacademy.org/pac, or call the box office at 207-935-9232. The LHE/PAC is located at 18 Bradley St. in Fryeburg, Maine.

Looking for a new way to share the natural world with your child? The North Conway Library will be presenting a monthly, hour-long story time & activities program through the spring for children of all ages, focused on learning about nature through crafts, activities and books.

Alice Puccio, education coordinator at AMC in Pinkham Notch, is leading the program, which will be held on Saturday mornings from 10 to 11 a.m. in the library’s children’s room on 2719 Main St. in North Conway Village.

The programs take place on the last Saturday of each month and are free and open for residents & visitors. They are most appropriate for children ages 4 and older; children must be accompanied by an adult. Call (603) 356-2961 or check NorthConwayLibrary.com for more information.

The Pillowman

With echoes of Stoppard, Kafka, and the Brothers Grimm, THE PILLOWMAN centers on a writer in an unnamed totalitarian state who is being interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories and their similarities to a series of child murders. The result is an urgent work of theatrical bravura and an unflinching examination of the very nature and purpose of art.
