The Portsmouth Historical Society presents “Winds of Change,” a retrospective of the work of Cabot Lyford (1925–2016). Lyford’s experimental approach to different materials and his advocacy of environmental and political issues through his art will resonate with viewers as much now as it did in the 20th century. Creativity & Experimentation While best known for his works in granite, Lyford explored such varied media as watercolor and gouache, slate, wood, aluminum, bronze, acrylic, and laminated and fiber glass and plywood, as well as varying his style from abstract to realist to surrealist. Our programs and workshops will encourage all to embrace the unexpected and turn “mistakes” into new avenues of creativity. Advocacy Through Art Lyford dared to confront complex and difficult issues with his sculpture and always tried to advocate as well as create. Art impacts the way we view complex issues like war and ecology. This exhibition will illustrate the profound impact that public art can have on a community, a region, and a country. Collaboration with New Hampshire Art Association Visit the upstairs gallery to view "Contemporary Currents" in collaboration with NHAA and artists across New Hampshire.

PMAC presents Time Travel, a new exhibition by New Hampshire mixed media artist Roger Goldenberg. Time Travel is on display at PMAC's Haas Family Gallery from September 2, 2025–November 7, 2025. FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. ARTIST RECEPTION: Friday, September 12 at 5:30 PM | PMAC | Free Roger Goldenberg is a mixed media artist who describes his work as visual jazz—infusing the energy of jazz into paintings, prints, and large-scale welded and mixed media kinetic sculptures. A longtime Button Factory artist in Portsmouth, he now resides in Lebanon, NH, where he continues to make and teach.  Time Travel features work from three Goldenberg series: layered oil paintings and dynamic monotypes that meditate on climate change in Homage to the Earth, expressive Visual Jazz paintings, and a selection of kinetic Inspiration Banners. Suspended using Kevlar and stainless steel supports, the banners are designed to move in response to shifts in air and space. Experienced together, these series feel simultaneously choreographed and improvisational. They spark motion—and emotion—inviting viewers into the singular, unrepeatable present.

The first summer blockbuster movie is being filmed, but no one working on the film would know it. Dive deep into the tumultuous, murky waters of the making of a major motion picture with testy, feuding costars, unpredictable weather, and a shark prop whose constant breakdowns are looking like an omen for the future of the movie. In this comedy co-written by Ian Shaw and Joseph Nixon, the short tempers of Jaws stars Robert Shaw (father of co-writer Ian), Richard Dreyfuss, and Roy Scheider take center stage as they bond, argue, drink, gamble, and pray for an end to the shoot, not knowing it will change their lives forever.

PORTSMOUTH – Imagine stepping back to a time when films spoke without words — no color, no dialogue, just the expressive power of actors, the drama of live music, and the storytelling of title cards. The Players’ Ring Theatre, in collaboration with Glass Dove Productions, is taking a bold step in bringing “The Man Who Laughs” to its stage in a world premiere play beginning October 17. Adapted from the book by Victor Hugo, with inspiration from the 1928 homonymous film directed by Paul Leni, the idea came from Emily Karel, a Seacoast-based actor and producer.

Winner of three 2025 Blues Music Awards including for Song Of The Year for the title track ‘Blues In My DNA’ In Ronnie Baker Brooks’ powerhouse hands, blues-rock never sounded so outrageous. Soul never sounded so delicious. And the blues never sounded so profound, ‘one of today’s top live performers.’ – Blues Music Magazine Chicago guitarist, vocalist, songwriter and multiple Blues Music Award-winner Ronnie Baker Brooks is one of the city’s and the world’s most undeniably talented and electrifying bluesmen. Ronnie was born into Chicago blues royalty as the son of legendary multiple GRAMMY Award nominee, Hall Of Famer, and longtime Alligator Records recording star Lonnie Brooks. He is among the few contemporary blues artists who learned his craft directly from many of the genre’s icons, including Albert Collins, B.B. King, Willie Dixon, Koko Taylor and, most significantly, his father. “I’m blessed to have played with and learned from the best”

The Pre-Dead Social Club will host “When Dying at Home is the Wish—But Not Part of the Plan,” a We Wish We Knew That! roundtable discussion on Monday, November 3 from 5:30-7:00 p.m. at Kittery Community Center Banquet Room in Kittery, ME. The panel will feature Dr. Nicholas Coppins, family medicine provider; Barbara Douglass, physical therapist and end-of-life doula; Melissa Kennedy, registered nurse, and Dannielle Haskell, caregiver and will be facilitated by Laura Cleminson, Founder of the Pre-Dead Social Club and end-of-life doula. Many people express a preference for dying at home, yet most don’t largely because there was no plan in place for being able to do so. This roundtable discussion will explore what gets in the way of people’s ability to die at home, what pieces need to be in place in order to turn a wish into reality, and the role that the complete caregiving team–both medical and family–plays in putting a plan together. The mission of the Pre-Dead Social Club is to bring fresh energy to vital conversations about dying and death, fostering understanding among individuals, loved ones, and the professionals they rely on. Through events such as this one, they are working to cultivate clarity, build confidence, and advocate for compassionate, personalized end-of-life experiences. “This is uncharted territory for most people. While we may have had the opportunity to learn from those who’ve died before us, we each need to blaze a trail that reflects what matters most to us, and to those we care for, “ said Laura Cleminson, facilitator and founder of the Pre-Dead Social Club. “But in order to do that, we need a shared roadmap to follow together. This discussion is for anyone with a stake in these conversations—now or in the future—who wants to make sure that future wishes become part of a tangible plan.” Dr. Nicholas Coppins, originally from England, has since 2019 served the Seacoast community at Kittery Family Practice. He’s the first to admit that end-of-life care gets far too little attention in medical school—and culturally, many of us  tend to avoid the subject altogether. He’s looking forward to this roundtable not just as a physician, but as a listener, learner, and advocate for clearer, kinder conversations around what matters most.   Barbara Douglass spent over 40 years as a physical therapist working in acute care, home health, and her own aquatic therapy practice. She found her calling in skilled nursing and rehab, specializing in geriatrics for the last 19 years of her career before retiring in 2024. Now trained as a death doula and hospice volunteer, Douglass continues to support friends and family through health challenges and encourages anyone who will listen to make a plan.   Melissa Kennedy is a registered nurse certified in both hospice and palliative care (CHPN) as well as wound care (WCC), with over 15 years of experience in healthcare—13 of which have been devoted to end-of-life care. Currently working with Beth Israel Lahey Health at Home, she brings deep expertise across the full spectrum of hospice services, having served patients in acute care hospitals, hospice houses, nursing facilities, and private homes.   Dannielle Haskell is a former nonprofit director who spent years designing afterschool and summer programs for kids—and is now deep in a different kind of learning as a full-time parent to two young daughters. In early 2024, Haskell’s aunt was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. She stepped in without hesitation as her aunt was like a second mom to her—becoming a steady caregiver and a communication bridge for out-of-town family members. Her aunt chose quality of life and quantity of life with her decision to forgo additional treatment, entering hospice just weeks later.   Living at a hospice house for nearly a month gave Haskell a profound window into the reality of dying—not just its heartbreak, but its potential for beauty, connection, and grace. She now hopes to be a voice for those standing beside a loved one at the end of life—especially those who didn’t expect to find themselves in that role. Facilitator Laura Cleminson is the Founder of the Pre-Dead Social Club, an INELDA-trained death doula, hospice volunteer and a member of the NH Health Care Decisions Coalition. Through hundreds of conversations at Pre-Dead Social Club events, she’s heard others say, “I thought I had it covered,” “I’m totally winging this,” and “I don’t even know how to start the conversation or who to talk to.” Her mission is to change that. The event is generously sponsored by Friends of Hyder Family Hospice House. Tickets are $10 per person and advanced purchase is recommended. The Kittery Community Center is located at 120 Rogers Road, Kittery, ME.   For a full schedule of events or to purchase tickets, visit www.predeadsocialclub.com.

The Murals at the Warner House are considered the most outstanding feature of the House. For the past 200 years or so, no one has known why Captain Archibald Macpheadris had this very eclectic group of murals painted. After three years reviewing hundreds of books, journal articles and numerous primary sources, Dave Pepson (tour guide and researcher at the Warner House) has unlocked the secret. The Murals are linked to some very interesting history that includes the Dutch Golden Age of Art; the first of the Williamite Wars (the Siege of Derry); and the Queen Anne War. The lecture will connect this history to the Murals, and will end with the Unifying Theme of all the Murals: a Woman Spinning Flax; a Dog Barking at an Eagle with a Chicken in its Talons; Abraham and Isaac; the Mohawk Chiefs; and King William III. Tickets: $10 for non-members, free for members. Sign up for a membership and come to all talks for free!

The Bad Plus are the ultimate originals. A democratic unit with a clear vision and a refusal to conform to convention. For the past two decades they have played with spirit and adventure, made their own rules and done so with a bold sense of creativity and intent. Avoiding easy categorization, The Bad Plus has won critical acclaim and a legion of fans worldwide with their unique sound and flair for live performance. The Bad Plus continues to push boundaries as founding members Reid Anderson (bass) and Dave King (drums) embark on a new piano-less incarnation of the band with Ben Monder (guitar) and Chris Speed (tenor saxophone) instigating a new wave of excitement and anticipation within the band that is re-energizing their sound and inspiration. The Bad Plus is set to release their 18th album via Mack Avenue Records on Friday, November 8th. “Evolution is necessary for life and creativity,” say Dave King and Reid Anderson. “We’ve evolved, but we’re still The Bad Plus.”

The Barr Brothers w/ Land of Talk Wednesday, November 5 Doors 7pm / Show 8pm $27 Members / $30 General Admission Advance / $35 GA Day of Show All ages / Standing -- The Barr Brothers are a group out of Montreal fronted by the poly-rhythmic, jocular drumming of Andrew Barr and the songs and guitar playing of brother Brad Barr. Bass, pedal steel, keyboards, and horns come in and out of the mix freely. Equally at home in solemn Arcadian ballads, swampy North African improvs, or classic rock and roll revelry, The Barr Brothers continue to embrace and enchant audiences with their methodical-yet-whimsical approach to music making.

Sugaray Rayford is a man with a message and a larger-than-life voice to deliver it. In collaboration with producer and songwriter Eric Corne over the past three albums, the soul-blues powerhouse has developed a sound that blends classic soul melodies and funky R&B grooves with raw blues energy. Their first project together, Somebody Save Me, earned Rayford a 2020 Grammy nomination, followed by Blues Music Awards for Soul Blues Male Artist and B.B. King Entertainer of the Year. His follow-up, In Too Deep, garnered multiple honors, including the Blues Music Award for Soul Blues Album of the Year. Rayford's latest release, Human Decency, continues his focus on music with purpose. Its title track serves as a reminder that similarities outweigh differences, and that beyond divisions of race or politics, there are only hearts and minds.

In collaboration with Mike’d Up Comedy Productions Winter calls for an extra dose of cozy — and there’s nothing like live comedy in our intimate, brick-lined space. After the success of our first summer stand-up series, we knew one thing: the laughs must go on. Christine Hurley — the unstoppable Queen of Boston Comedy — is here to deliver. Matt Siegel (Kiss108’s “Matty in the Morning”) calls her his favorite comedian, and for good reason. Christine has brought the house down at the TD Garden for Denis Leary’s legendary Comics Come Home (benefiting the Cam Neely Cancer Foundation). You may have spotted her on Nick at Nite’s Search for America’s Funniest Mom, America’s Got Talent, and The Great Food Truck Race on Food Network. A powerhouse performer, Christine is a regular at Aruba Ray’s Comedy Club, the Montreal Comedy Festival, the Laugh Factory Las Vegas, and just about every major comedy club across New England. She’s also one of the most booked comics on the East Coast — and she’s bringing her razor-sharp, wildly relatable humor right to your front row.

SYNOPSIS Pressure Drop is the latest chapter in a 30-year journey—forged from a dream, fueled with cash from commercial fishing in Alaska, and driven by an obsession with life on the edge. This film follows the world’s best skiers and snowboarders, alongside the next generation, through Alaskan spines, stacked pillow lines, massive cliffs, giant couloirs, deep powder, and insane jumps. From Norway to British Columbia, California to Alaska, and home in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, each line becomes a brushstroke in the art of descent. Pressure Drop captures that fleeting space between calm and chaos—when breath slows, vision sharpens, and the mountain demands everything. It’s the moment before gravity takes over. For three decades, we’ve stood at the edge—where fear meets flow and everything else fades. Pressure Drop continues the tradition of what it means to dedicate your life to the fall line. LOCATIONS Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Lofoten Islands, Norway, Valdez, Alaska, Grand Targhee, Wyoming, Interior British Columbia, Haines, Alaska, Palisades Tahoe, California. STARRING Sage Cattabriga-Alosa, Ian McIntosh, Nick McNutt, Kai Jones, Parkin Costain, McRae Williams, Maggie Voisin, Colter Hinchliffe, Jim Ryan, Molly Armanino, Kirsty Muir, Grace Henderson, Troy Podmilsak, Teal Harle, Kelly Hilleke, Madison Rose Ostergren, Simon Hillis, Jeremy Jones, Cass Jones, Mia Jones.
