Fox and Bones Live at Town Hall @ Seabrook Town Hall
Dec 30 @ 7:00 pm

Fresh off of their first European Tour, catch Portland’s Fox and Bones live at Seabrook Town Hall.

Fox and Bones is a conceptual folk collaboration between American songwriters Sarah Vitort and Scott Gilmore based in Portland, Oregon. Both artists in their own rite (Sarah Wild and The Watch, Just People), the pair had an instant spark when they met, which quickly translated to an electric songwriting chemistry. The duo combines lush two part harmonies and a complex, heartwarming lyrical landscape with soft-spoken yet rich musical accompaniment. Live, they draw their audience in with their quirky banter and adorable onstage chemistry, creating – and inspiring in their fans – an archetype for true love in the modern world.

The Town Hall bar will be open for those over 21, all ages welcome, doors will open at 6:30PM.

Voices from the Harbor – Giving Voice to Experience @ Driftwood Players Theater
Mar 18 @ 2:00 pm
Voices from the Harbor - Giving Voice to Experience @ Driftwood Players Theater  | Aberdeen | Washington | United States

Listen to selections from oral histories gathered by Harbor area students come to life through readings and narrator panels. Through these voices we will explore what draws us to this place, what helps us persevere during times of struggle, and what cultivates our sense of belonging to the area known as “The Harbor.”

Voices from the Harbor is an event series produced with funding from Humanities Washington. This is the first in a series of three events.

Voices of the Harbor Project: Giving Voice to Experience @ Driftwood Players Theater
Mar 18 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm

The public is invited to join local historians and students from the Evergreen State College as they share selections from oral histories collected by and from Harbor residents. Participants will learn about the craft of composing oral histories as they listen to stories about the Harbor Region from the perspective of local residents.

Giving Voice to Experience is the first of three events planned for the Voices of the Harbor project – produced through a collaboration between the Evergreen State College and Window Seat Media; with support from Humanities Washington.

History Talk: The Evergreen State in World War I @ Westport Timberland Library
Mar 25 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Historian Lorraine McConaghy will begin the program with an illustrated introduction to the war’s themes. Following that, guests may participate in a scripted “Readers’ Theater,” designed to portray the turmoil of the years 1914 – 1919.  The script is drawn from first-person sources such as letters, diaries and news paper stories. It allows modern readers to speak aloud the words of a past generation, and gain an sense of how Washingtonians of that era experienced the great social, economic and political changes: industrialization, immigration, women’s rights, radical labor, epidemic disease, and worldwide turmoil.
