Delvena Theatre brings to life Charles Dickens' classic tale filled with humor, love, kindness, revenge, and remorse - 2 actors play all 10 characters! Beginning with Pip's boyhood with his cruel sister and her husband, the kind blacksmith, Joe, the play follows Pip through his terrifying encounter with the escaped convict, Magwitch, his experience with the bizarre, jilted bride, Miss Havisham, and her haughty ward, Estella.  A mysterious benefactor helps to shape Pip’s life into one of fortune, success, and self-discovery.  Moving swiftly from scene to scene, the play involves the audience at every step. Ages 10+ Sponsored by the Amanda Dwight Entertainment Fund, The Friends of the Seniors, and The Friends of the Library https://townsendlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/delvena-theater-presents-great-expectations/

For thousands of years, in all parts of the world, sound has been used to promote healing and create deep states of relaxation and wellbeing. Immersion in particular harmonic vibratory frequencies can help to balance and calm the mind, relieve tension and stress from the body, expand self-awareness, and leave you feeling renewed and rejuvenated. The sound bath experience is about letting go and allowing the sound to take you to a deeper place. Sound vibration is the vessel, and it allows you to explore and identify what a meditative state feels like. A sound bath is not only beneficial for beginners of meditation, but it is also great for seasoned meditators.  Sound healing helps to: Activate higher states of consciousness Unlock blocked emotions Relieve anxiety and stress Induce complete relaxation Promote deep meditation Heighten clarity Improve ability to concentrate Relieve insomnia Decrease depression Normalize blood pressure Relieve physical pain Release emotional trauma Connect with your soul’s purpose Join us as we welcome Brandy Lefsyk, PTA (Physical Therapist Assistant), Usui Reiki Master (E-RYT 500), Astrologer, Channel, Sound Healer, Yoga Teacher, and Certified Functional Patterns Human Biomechanics Specialist.

Join us as we welcome Lidia of Simple Art Forms for a session of Silk Painting! Imagine the brightness of colors and the freedom of movement of the brush. Imagine the freedom of creativity pouring out of you as we paint winter with one stroke! Not everyone loves winter? It's cold, the daylight is short, we must wear layers of clothing. And it’s difficult to get the positive emotions of light and colors, during the dark, winter solstice. But, if you look closely there are many hidden gifts in winter! You can go bask in the snow by skiing, snowboarding, ice skating and sledding, even wallow in the billowing snowdrifts. Winter smells like tangerines, mulled wine and Christmas! It is a time reflect and dream about all that is possible.  All necessary materials will be provided. Registration is required and limited to only 10 people. Please only register if you know you can attend, and if you have to cancel, please let us know as soon as possible as there is a waitlist of people who would like to attend!
