Join us on Friday, November 13th at 7pm for a screening of the film, The Narrow Land by Jaiden van Bork followed by and Q&A.

The Narrow Land examines both the mythology and reality of Cape Cod, seeking to unravel the difficult questions that face the coastal community today as it confronts a barrage of overtourism and a subsequent housing crisis that has left locals scrambling to keep their feet planted in the sand. Weaving a personal chronicle of childhood on Cape Cod with the voices of local artists, fishermen, and hospitality workers, the film channels the eerie realities of small-town America, posing new questions about identity and memory.

Outermost Performing Arts Center

Making Movies is the Latin Grammy–nominated group led by Enrique Chi — born in Santiago, Panamá, and raised in the American Midwest — forging a sound guided by tradition, yet unmistakably its own. The band has been described by Rolling Stone as “an eclectic blend of rumbero percussion, delicate organs, and grungy fuzz,” while NPR calls the project “perhaps one of the most unique groups around today.”

Most concerts ask the audience to listen quietly and applaud at the end. Between the Notes invites you to be an integral part of the performance.

Flutist Jessi Rosinski brings a different kind of concert to Outermost Performing Arts Center’s Julie Harris Stage: one that is intimate, collaborative, and a little unpredictable.

The program features music crossing cultures, centuries, and points of view. Before playing each piece, Jessi shares the story behind the work and her personal relationship to it. Once the last note fades, she turns to the room: What did you hear? What did you picture? Did your neighbor experience something completely different?

On Sunday, November 22, playwright and performer Cody Sullivan presents Readings Readings Readings Fest, a day-long festival of new play readings. 

The festival starts at 12:00 Noon with readings of Cody’s new short plays A Gesture; about a lauded academic who loses her voice, and must rehearse her protege to present her final lecture in her place, and Visitors Room; the story of a hairdresser who goes into Norwood Prison to meet with the man who taught him his craft and will be locked up for the rest of his life. 

At 1:30, the festival continues with a reading of Paige O’Connor’s Howls; a play-in-progress that asks at what point our grief can become supernatural. When the regulars of a seaside town's local dive bar start hearing sounds at night they can't quite explain, they must also face what they can't quite explain about themselves.

At 4:30, Cody Sullivan presents his new play Bell Ringers. In an old church in Copley Square in Boston we see the different people that give the building it's life, from the sobriety meeting in the basement to the people ringing the bells in the tower. 

 As part of the festival, theater artist Mike Ryan will lead a youth theater workshop for young people curious about the creation of a new play. In just four hours, Mike will facilitate the creation of an original play inspired and performed by the workshop participants. This free workshop starts at 12:00 noon, and will conclude with a performance for friends and family on stage.

Tickets for Readings Readings Readings Fest start at $15, with a full-day ticket available for $25, and can be purchased at outermostpac.org.

Outermost Performing Arts Center

On Saturday November 28 at 7:00, Outermost Performing Arts Center presents a screening of Arlo Guthrie’s Thanksgiving classic, Alice’s Restaurant.  Arlo Guthrie plays himself in this film based on his song of the same name. After getting kicked out of college, Arlo decides to visit his friend Alice for Thanksgiving dinner. After dinner is over, Arlo volunteers to take the trash to the dump, but finds it closed for the holiday, so he just dumps the trash in the bottom of a ravine. This simple act of littering gets him arrested, and sends him on a bizarre journey that ends with him in front of the draft board. 

This screening is offered as a loving tribute to the late Alice Brock, the titular Alice and long-time resident of the Outer Cape, who passed away in 2024.  Tickets are $10, and can be purchased at outermostpac.org

Neal will give us a 'husband's point of view of gardening, filled with humor and insight from someone who gardens less from an abiding love of horticulture than for the love of a spouse. Good horticultural advice is dispensed, bad advice is debunked. Gardeners will leave with a better appreciation of what is going on in the mind of their helpmates. The talk is adapted from Neal's blog, 'The Principal Undergardener and will explain why it is impossible to do just one thing in the garden, why you should never compute the value of your labor in gardening and much more.

Join Stacy Booth, foodways historian, as she explores the food and drink traditions of 18th-century Massachusetts during the winter holiday season. Discover how Puritan opposition to Christmas shaped colonial celebrations and how residents continued English traditions through seasonal gatherings and festivities such as Twelfth Night. Through the foods and beverages of the period, this presentation reveals how faith, culture, and culinary traditions came together at the colonial table.

Stacy Booth brings 17th-and 18th-century New England foodways to life through engaging presentations and historic cooking demonstrations. With nearly 20 years of living history experience, she shares the stories, traditions, and everyday food practices of the past through hearth and campfire cooking, outdoor bread oven baking, and interactive programs. Her experience includes Plimoth Patuxet, Coggeshall Farm Museum, and Revolutionary War reenactments throughout the Northeast and Canada. Stacy is the proprietor of Forgotten Recipes and is currently pursuing her master's degree in Gastronomy at Boston University.
