WhenAugust 18, 2018 @ 8:00 PM - 10:00 PMLocationThe Actors Studio of Newburyport, 50 Water St, Mill#1, Newburyport MADescription
"Crippled Inside," by Lawrence Hennessy, is a quasi - autobiographical account of life in a suburban Washington D.C. family during the late 1960's. It focuses on the father-son relationship between John Matherson, a high ranking justice official, and his son James Matherson, a high school student in the middle of his, "make or break" year of completing college applications. The story is James some 50 years later as he grapples with his new role as a "celebrity Historian" on PBS. It juxtaposes the political turmoil present in the United States in the 1960's, with the familial dynamics of the Matherson family as it relates to the popular culture of music, drugs and changing moral perspectives so prevalent in that same decade.
TASN regulars with a good memory may recall Hennessy's 2009 play, "96 Tears," which focused on the relationship of mother and son from the same troubled decade. This time it's Dads turn.

"Fred Marple's Guide to New England" (For Locals and People from Away) is a hilarious look at all the things about Yankees that seem to confuse outsiders - what we wear, what we eat, how we dress and how we heat. Fred will discuss Yankee food, including why we think baked beans are haute cuisine. Hell examine Yankee fashion, from the ever-present flannel to rummage sale ensembles. Hell talk about life in a small town, where everyone knows your business - often before you do - and hell describe the people who live in those towns, from the cheapskate native to the affluent transplant. Ill also talk about old houses and why we seem to love them, despite the bats in the attic and wiring that looks as if it was installed by Ben Franklin, says Fred.
Fred Marple - also known as humorist Ken Sheldon - has appeared on New Hampshire Chronicle, on the radio, in the pages of Yankee Magazine and New Hampshire Magazine, and on stage all over New England. He is the author of Welcome to Frost Heaves, a collection of tales from the most under-appreciated town in New England. His video spoof Yoga for Yankees has been viewed over 6 million times on Facebook. Fred has been called hilarious, a hoot, and smarter than you might think at first.
