The TCAN Players return with Agatha Christieâs masterwork of suspense, And Then There Were None â where ten strangers are summoned to a remote islandâand justice waits in the shadows. Ten strangers, each harboring a dark secret, are lured to a secluded island estate under false pretenses. Their mysterious hosts are nowhere to be foundâonly a chilling recording accuses each guest of a terrible crime. Then, one by one, the guests begin to die, their fates eerily mirroring the verses of a sinister nursery rhyme displayed in the house. With the island cut off by a storm, suspicion grows as the survivors struggle to understand the method behind the madness. Is the killer among them? Or is there someoneâor somethingâelse pulling the strings? Christieâs most celebrated and harrowing whodunit is the worldâs best-selling mystery and one of the best-selling books of all time. The plot unfolds with taut pacing, sharp dialogue, and an atmosphere thick with dread, exploring themes of morality, retribution, and the human psyche under pressure. Its surprise ending, considered one of the greatest in crime fiction, will leave audiences breathless. Prepare for a night of riveting theatre that proves no sin goes unpunished⌠and no one is beyond suspicion.

VANISH chronicles the âvisual preservationâ adventures of fine art photographer, Jim Westphalen, as he travels across the country seeking out and creating stunning imagery of Americaâs disappearing rural structures. Equal parts art, history, and storm chasing, this film takes you on a road-trip with Westphalen as he races against time and the unrelenting elements to capture the extraordinary beauty of aging barns, one-room schoolhouses, grain elevators, prairie churches, and other classic structures that our countryâs rural heritage was built upon. Vanish also features deep-dive interviews with preservation experts as well as the passionate people who strive and struggle to save these fading treasures, sharing their intimate stories of dreams, loss, and triumphs. Please register to view the film. You will receive the link to screen the film on June 13th. The link will be good through June 27th.

The Song Remains the Same is a 1976 concert film featuring the English rock band Led Zeppelin. A box office success and cultural touchstone for Led Zeppelin fans, the soundtrack received a Platinum Award from Atlantic Records. The filming took place during the summer of 1973, during three nights of concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York City, with additional footage shot at Shepperton Studios. The film premiered three years later on 20 October 1976 at Cinema I in New York, on 21 October 1976 at Fox Wilshire in Beverly Hills, and at Warner West End Cinema in London two weeks later.  It was accompanied by a soundtrack album of the same name. On the morning of 20 July 1973, during the bandâs concert tour of the US, Peter Grant made contact with American-born director Joe Massot. Massot was already known to Grant as he and his wife had moved into a house in Berkshire in 1970, where they made friends with their neighbours, Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and his girlfriend Charlotte Martin. Grant had previously turned down offers by Massot to make a film of the band, but with the huge success of the bandâs current tour, Grant changed his mind and offered him the job of director. As Grant recalled: âIt all started in the Sheraton Hotel, Boston. Weâd talked about a film for years and Jimmy had known Joe Massot was interested â so we called them and over they came. It was all very quickly arrangedâ. Musical highlights of the film include âBlack Dog,â âDazed and Confused,â âStairway to Heaven,â âWhole Lotta Love,â and âRain Song,â performed live at Madison Square Garden.

Three-time winners of Scotlandâs âLive Act of the Yearâ award, Skerryvore have evolved from their humble beginnings to become one of the countryâs leading forces in a thriving live music scene. At the forefront of a movement that has reinvented and reignited a traditional Scottish scene for a modern, multicultural audience, the band have brought their high energy performances to audiences across the globe. From their early days in Scottish West Coast halls and bars, to festival crowds in the USA, Canada, Australia and throughout the UK and Europe, Skerryvoreâs wide range of influences and talent produce a musically expansive, immersive yet intimate set that excites and captivates audiences. With a mix of bagpipes, fiddles, accordions, and whistles, alongside guitar and vocals, underpinned by driving bass, drums and keys, Skerryvore represent the best in contemporary Scottish traditional music. Their now 7 studio albums demonstrate the wide range of influences the individual musicians bring to the mix â a unique fusion of folk, trad, pop and rock. Three singles from the latest album âTempusâ, released in April 2023, all featured on the BBC Radio 2 new music playlist, and the album went to number 1 in both the Official Scottish Album and UK Folk Albums charts, and entered the top 40 in the Official UK Charts. Skerryvore took their Tempus Tour to audiences across the UK, Europe and USA, with their unique fusion appealing to a wider mix of age groups and tastes. Visit: skerryvore.com
