SUMMARY:5-Day Bare Bones Wood Carving Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Learning woodcarving is a lot like learning how to write in a language. You need to know the letters of the alphabet and what is a vowel and what is a consonant. You need to learn how to put together a word and understand the meaning of it. Then you need to learn how to form a sentence and a paragraph that carries a theme. These are absolute necessities that you need to know in order to write. The same is true in woodcarving\, there are absolute necessities you need to know in order to carve with intent and confidence. So in all truth\, I need five days of your time in order to get the complete set of fundamentals into both your hands and your head. \nHowever\, I often get asked if I have weekend courses because of time restrictions. For those of you who cannot find time for the five consecutive days\, this is what I do. If you take a two or three-day course you are taking the first two or three days of my five-day workshop which is broken up into daily learning chapters. So three days brings you to chapter three\, two days to chapter two. The weekend workshops will give you a basic understanding of the skill of wood carving which includes hand-carving technique\, sharpening\, and designing skills among other topics but the full training takes five days. You will also do the carving projects to reinforce the hand techniques that we talk about so that you gain much-needed muscle memory in your hands. \nSome students may be satisfied with the information learned\, while others may choose to find their way back for another weekend and finish the last two or three days to get all the necessary techniques and insights. When you return\, (it can be during that calendar year or the next) everyone else is at the beginning point on the start of the weekend\, but you pick up where you left off to finish your training. That’s the story in a nutshell. Call me if you are looking for more info. I am happy to answer any questions. \nAll class days run from 9 am – 5 pm. \nFor more information:\nCall: (978) 283-0231\nEmail: david@calvostudio.com\nWebsite: https://www.davidcalvo.com/woodcarving_classes.html

SUMMARY:“Mole Is Not Alone”: Spring Storytime with Children’s Authors Maya Tatsukawa and Hanna Cha
DESCRIPTION:Join the Peabody Institute Library for a special event with acclaimed children’s author and Mass Book Award-Honoree Maya Tatsukawa\, who will present Mole Is Not Alone and her brand-new book\, Otter Carries On! Maya will be joined in conversation by author-illustrator Hanna Cha. \nMole is invited to a party\, which is very worrisome. What if the party is too rowdy for Mole? What if Mole doesn’t know anyone there? What if Mole is just too shy to make friends? Mole worries through the tunnels\, around Snake’s burrow\, under the forest\, past Bear’s den\, and all the way to Rabbit’s door. But despite all those worries\, maybe Mole can find a quiet way to make friends . . . \nIn this cozy picture book about friendship\, Mole anxiously decides to journey through underground tunnels to attend a party. \nWith warm and sweet illustrations\, every page of Mole Is Not Alone is an invitation to look and look again. Readers can follow Mole’s tunnel as it connects from one page to the next\, learning along the way that everyone can make friends\, even if some parties are quieter than others. \nThis program is sponsored by the Mass Book Awards Speakers Bureau and is presented in collaboration with the Massachusetts Center for the Book. \nMaya Tatsukawa is a children’s book author\, illustrator\, and designer residing just out of Boston with her cat/studio manager. When she’s not designing\, illustrating\, or thinking about children’s books\, you can find her baking cream puffs\, eating ice cream\, or searching for the perfect scone. She is the author and illustrator of Sunday Pancakes\, which was a 2023 Mass Book Awards Honors title\, Mole Is Not Alone\, a 2024 Mass Book Awards Honoree\, The Bear in My Family\, and Otter Carries On (2025). \nHanna Cha is a Caldecott Honor award-winning illustrator and writer with several books under her belt. She is the creator of her first book Tiny Feet Between the Mountains and illustrated Circle Round by Anne Sibley O’Brien. She was also the recipient of the Caldecott Honor and the APALA winner for The Truth about Dragons by Julie Leung and also part of the Junior Library Gold Standard Selection for The House Before Falling Into the Sea by Ann Suk Wang.

SUMMARY:Revolutionary Tea on a Gambrel Roof w/Tea & Cake
DESCRIPTION:A dramatization of ‘A Gambrel Roof’\, a poem by Lucy Larcom. \nA creative multi-disciplinary theatrical presentation of a circa 1875 local poem about the historic Danvers Jeremiah Page House. Period music\, an art installation\, historic tea blends\, and signature cakes add to the illustration of the story: \nIn about 1770\, when the British monarchy started taxing tea in the colonies\, Jeremiah told Sarah that “no tea shall be drunk in this house”.  However\, while her husband was away one day\, Sarah and two friends secretly had their tea ON the roof of the house.  In Sarah’s words\, “Upon a house is not within it”\, so she was still obeying her husband’s wishes.  This story was told to Anne L. Page\, Jeremiah’s granddaughter\, by a family friend many years later. Anne then told it to her friend Lucy Larcom\, the famous Beverly poet.  Lucy romanticized the story in the poem “A Gambrel Roof\,” written as the 100th birthday of our nation approached and published in the Atlantic Monthly. \nThere will be a Q&A session after the production\, moderated by historian Dan Gagnon. \nWheelchair accessible building and parking available. Additional parking in the Elm Street lot. \nDanvers Historical Society: 978-777-1666 or E-mail to connect@danvershistory.org

SUMMARY:Revolutionary Tea on a Gambrel Roof
DESCRIPTION:A dramatization of ‘A Gambrel Roof’\, a poem by Lucy Larcom. \nA creative multi-disciplinary theatrical presentation of a circa 1875 local poem about the historic Danvers Jeremiah Page House. Period music\, and an art installation add to the illustration of the story: \nIn about 1770\, when the British monarchy started taxing tea in the colonies\, Jeremiah told Sarah that “no tea shall be drunk in this house”.  However\, while her husband was away one day\, Sarah and two friends secretly had their tea ON the roof of the house.  In Sarah’s words\, “Upon a house is not within it”\, so she was still obeying her husband’s wishes.  This story was told to Anne L. Page\, Jeremiah’s granddaughter\, by a family friend many years later. Anne then told it to her friend Lucy Larcom\, the famous Beverly poet.  Lucy romanticized the story in the poem “A Gambrel Roof” written as the 100th birthday of our nation approached and published in the Atlantic Monthly. \nThere will be a Q&A session after the production. \nWheelchair accessible building and parking available. Additional parking in the Elm Street lot. \nDonations appreciated \nWe are proud to participate in Mass Cultural Council’s Card to Culture program. \nDanvers Historical Society: 978-777-1666 or E-mail to connect@danvershistory.org

SUMMARY:Darlin’ Corey with Rani Arbo & Daisy Mayhem
DESCRIPTION:Darlin’ Corey features the singing and playing of three accomplished musicians of the thriving music scene of Portland\, ME. Award winning fiddler and singer Erica Brown on fiddle\, guitar\, vocals\, notable songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Matt Shipman on guitar\, vocals\, mandolin\, bouzouki\, banjo and Portland’s favorite bass player Kris Day\, who has also toured with legends like Link Wray\, Dale Hawkins\, Ronnie Dawson and Joe Clay. \nTheir music is a diverse and unique blend of folk with influences from bluegrass and old time music. Drawing on these threads of North American folk music\, their elegant harmonies are the beating heart of their sound\, in both their original music and the traditional old time\, bluegrass and New England influenced music they regularly showcase. In Darlin’ Corey’s singing and playing\, you can feel the many years of dedication to these celebrated musical traditions. \nTogether they create an engaging performance of thoughtful originals\, traditional songs and tunes\, and songs that influenced them along the way. Erica Brown’s fiddle-playing is at turns virtuosic and completely unpretentious. Matt Shipman is an ideal counterpart as his versatility on a dizzying array of stringed instruments (guitar\, Irish bouzouki\, 5-string banjo\, mandolin) blend seamlessly\, never timid or overpowering. Kris Day holds it all together with his solid bass playing.

SUMMARY:Nicky Smigs
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Arlington Heights\, IL\, Nick Smeriglio’s journey into entertainment began with an improv program at the renowned Second City Chicago. With a marketing degree from Marquette University in Milwaukee\, WI\, Nick’s early career took a different path. From ages 22-26\, he worked various jobs\, including a year as a recruiter\, a year selling bread\, and two years in ad sales at Paramount. It was at Paramount that Nick decided to follow his passion for comedy\, quitting his job after being booked for his first stand-up shows in the spring of 2021.\nThe COVID-19 pandemic struck just a week after his final Second City show\, forcing Nick to move back to his parents’ house in the suburbs. TikTok became his only creative outlet\, where he began posting skits featuring his three known impressions: Christopher Walken\, Tony Soprano\, and Sebastian Maniscalco. By the fall of 2020\, his videos had gained significant attention\, leading to unexpected offers from East Coast stand-up clubs. Despite never having performed stand-up before\, Nick took the plunge and booked his first weekend of shows at three different clubs in New York and New Jersey for April 2021.\nIn October 2021\, Nick moved to New York City to pursue his comedy and acting career full-time. His dedication paid off as he quickly made a name for himself in the comedy circuit. An 11-day\, nine-show tour paved the way for a headlining gig at the iconic Caroline’s on Broadway in Times Square. He also performed six shows at the Chicago Improv with fellow Italian-American comedian and mentor\, Anthony Rodia.\nNick’s career continued to soar as he traveled to Burbank\, California\, to perform alongside Jay Leno in November 2021. Back in Chicago\, he appeared on WGN-TV and 670 AM The Score\, showcasing his comedic talents with a skit about celebrities firing former Chicago Bears Head Coach Matt Nagy.\nIn addition to his stand-up and acting pursuits\, Nick performs with the sketch group “”I Mostly Blame Myself\,”” which secured a spot at the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland in August 2024. He has also taken on roles in television commercials\, hosted and emceed corporate sales meetings and trade shows nationwide\, and performed at various charity events in Chicago’s Edison Park neighborhood. Nick Smeriglio’s journey from suburban Chicago to the vibrant New York comedy scene is a testament to his resilience\, talent\, and unwavering passion for entertainment.
