Community Read of When Things Fall Apart, presented by the Lily House

How can we live our lives when everything seems to fall apart-when we are continually overcome by fear, anxiety, and pain? The answer, Pema Chödrön suggests, might be just the opposite of what you expect. Here, in her most beloved and acclaimed work, Pema shows that moving toward painful situations and becoming intimate with them can open up our hearts in ways we never before imagined. Drawing from traditional Buddhist wisdom, she offers life-changing tools for transforming suffering and negative patterns into habitual ease and boundless joy.

Led by Kim Crawford, board member of the The Lily House and Senior Minister Emerita of Arlington Street Church (UU), Boston.

WOMR's The Fiddle and the Harp DJs present an evening of live Celtic music with Dinah Mellin, Walter Buckingham, Mark O'Leary, and Denya LeVine.

Dinah Mellin was classically trained on violin, then got an art degree from Wells College. Dinah joined The Cape Cod Fiddlers, and various other bands over the decades. Allegretto Outreach, a group that took music demo programs to Cape Cod schools, was something Dinah started at Snow Library, Orleans. Brick Hill House Concerts, where folks can hear every note, is Dinah’s living room. Some big-time names have performed in Dinah’s house since 2010; such as Jim Malcolm of Old Blind Dogs, Seamus Begley, Eilis Kennedy; Riley Baugus & Dirk Powell; Rocker Patti Rothberg; the list goes on.

Walter Buckingham's love and mastery of good music is suited to an unusually wide range of styles and settings. Educated at Berklee College of Music, Walter has performed on a number of record labels including Northstar Records, Mode Records, and Folksong in the Classroom. He has performed & recorded with composer/conductor John Cage at Jordan Hall, New England Conservatory, Boston, and in concert series with Tom Rush, Michael Johnson, and Aztec Two Step.

Mark O’Leary was raised on a diet of Irish songs and stories. In college he discovered a love of performing, and appeared in a number of groups, all of which eventually disbanded due to varying combinations of matrimony and fisticuffs. But the love of the music continued--and continues--and today you can occasionally hear him at sessions, farmers markets and other locations around the Cape.

Denya LeVine, fiddler, ukulele player, singer, has been a WOMR DJ since 1985. Raised on a regimen of folk, classical and ethnic music, she's been performing since her dentist asked her to sing when she was 5. A full-time entertainer for 20 plus years, and part time for decades before, she chose to cut back to half time after the pandemic. It's enough. She loves the concept of creating a shindig with Dinah, Mark and Walter.

Doors open at 6:30pm. Show starts at 7pm. Tickets now available at www.eventbrite.com/e/the-fiddle-the-harp-djs-in-concert-to-benefit-womr-tickets-1458611248509?aff=oddtdtcreator

Birding on the Cape during fall migration offers incredible diversity. Resident species mingle with southbound migrants and early arriving winter birds. We will explore the Outer Cape's barrier beaches, salt marshes, tidal flats, and woodlands in search of shorebirds, raptors, seabirds, songbirds, and ducks. This field school also features a whale watch out of Provincetown to search for pelagic birds!

During the course, we will touch upon topics such as identification, breeding biology, foraging ecology, and migration-including a fantastic opportunity to experience bird banding through a demonstration by Certified Master Bander James Junda. There is nothing as exciting as seeing a bird up-close and in-hand, and to learn what researchers can learn about birds only through banding! That evening, an indoor presentation will complement our field experiences.

Part on stage confessional, part on stage exorcism, actor and filmmaker Nick Cohen recounts his rollercoaster journey from Edgware Road in London to Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles trying to crack Hollywood. Growing up, Nick had dreams of Oscar glory but when he touched down in La La Land, things didn’t quite go as planned. Life with Oscar is a dark autobiographical comedy that sees Nick come to terms with the feelings of shame, failure and later redemption from his time in Tinseltown via his Jewish roots and a host of larger-than-life characters from the twisted underbelly of the City of Angels. Nick plays 29 different characters as he relates his journey, including a double Oscar winning housemate who worked with iconic filmmaker Orson Welles and promised Nick an Oscar nomination, the man who modeled the Oscar trophy itself, and a potential future bride who just happens to be the daughter of a psychotic producer. Life with Oscar debuted at last year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe (Underbelly) in 2023 before then transferring to the Arcola Theatre in London and touring to the East Coast of the USA in 2024 and venues across the UK in Spring 2025.

Nick said, ‘I was always evasive about what happened to me in Hollywood. It took a long time to understand that the mortifying embarrassment and sense of failure, was - not only something that many people feel about their careers - but also very funny. Having received great responses to the show in Edinburgh, London, and the USA, I am excited to bring Life With Oscar back to more locations across the USA.’

Nick Cohen is a writer, actor, director and producer. He trained with Theatre de Complicite and began his career at the Gate Theatre and the RSC and was later Staff Director at the Royal National Theatre under Trevor Nunn. As Artistic Director of Strange Fish Theatre, he directed
The Power and The Glory (Etcetera Theatre), Good Bones (Southwark Playhouse) and The Taming of The Shrew (Bloomsbury Theatre and international tour) as well as producing Blood Knot (Gate Theatre) which was Time Out Critic’s Choice. Later, Nick trained on the BBC Drama
Director’s Academy directing screen works including feature films London Unplugged, The Reeds, Beginners Luck, TV episodes of Eastenders, Doctors, Channel Four documentary Firing Line, and a number of short fiction films and nonprofit films for the Refugee Council and Migrant Resource Centre.

Sometimes the spaces in between seasons are the best time to reflect on life. To just sit back and be at peace with whatever is happening around you. Shoulder season on the Cape offers just that, a quiet beautiful solitude when the crowds have gone home. Take the time to listen to poetry and let it seep into your pores. Before you swing into the next season, savor this moment where everything is green and full of life.

The Chive Collective is a small group of female poets for whom Cape Cod is their full-time or seasonal home. They are Eileen Cleary, Christine Bess Jones, Gloria Monaghan, and Annie Pluto.

Two builders convert a moving truck into a tiny house and mobile reuse education center. Using almost nothing but reused, repurposed and dumpster-dived materials, their triumph over junk showcases the endless benefits of the reuse life. Through creative (and even comical) solutions, the film proves that almost anything we need to thrive in our daily lives already exists in abundance.

Community Read of When Things Fall Apart, presented by the Lily House

How can we live our lives when everything seems to fall apart-when we are continually overcome by fear, anxiety, and pain? The answer, Pema Chödrön suggests, might be just the opposite of what you expect. Here, in her most beloved and acclaimed work, Pema shows that moving toward painful situations and becoming intimate with them can open up our hearts in ways we never before imagined. Drawing from traditional Buddhist wisdom, she offers life-changing tools for transforming suffering and negative patterns into habitual ease and boundless joy.

A Drop-in Donation Based Dance Class

Fleet Movement Explorations is a structured improvisational dance class in which we play spontaneously with forces, shapes, feelings, images, and ideas rather than with specific dance technique. Drop in donation basis.

The class is basically informal, challenging, and fun, and a good movement workout. All are welcome.

Required: contact Becky Burrill ( Rebecca.burrill@aol.com) to be added to the class email listserv for notifications about class.

Wellfleet Preservation Hall

Enjoy this originally scripted show with songs from Sondheim, Jobim, Sara Bareilles, Kander and Ebb. If You Could Read My Mind is directed by Scott Cunningham, with music direction by Jonathan Goldberg.

“If You Could Read My Mind” is about loving, losing, life’s tender journeys, and letting go; learning to live in the present and all the waves we ride to get here! Come join us for laughter, a few tears, music, and the poetry of storytelling that makes the heart swell!

“ Sexy, vulnerable and mesmerizing, Susan Lambert creates a universe with each song and beckons you to join her in it. An invitation no-one can or should refuse .“ Award Winning Film Maker and Playwright Jack Feldstein
