Thursday March 20th at 7:00pm: SHADOW OVER RATHCARN: Darby O'Gill and The Undead Chieftain

     

Dare ye walk the misted roads and hear the tale?
Shadow Over Rathcarn
Original Story by Oz, Ossian Grey & Shandon Loring

There are dangers aplenty in the mist—but none so fearsome as
the ancient chieftain who refuses to stay buried.

When a reckless lad disturbs the cursed mound of Abhartach, an undying terror rises, demanding his rightful tribute in blood. The people of Rathcarn grow powerless beneath the shadow of the neamh-mairbh, and the land itself begins to wither.

But if there’s one man who knows how to parley with the dead, outwit the fae, and walk the fine line between courage and calamity, it’s Darby O’Gill.

Armed with nothing but his sharp tongue, quick wit, and a desperate plan, Darby must face an unholy horror, bargain with a tricksy fae lord, and call upon the oldest magic in Ireland to seal the nightmare away—before Rathcarn is drained dry.

A tale of cunning over cruelty, words over weapons, and a legend not soon forgotten...

Based on the Irish Legend of Abhartach

TUESDAY, March 18th at 7pm: THE QUIET MAN

 

Join Caledonia tonight 'round the fire for a Seanchai Library tradition: Maurice Walsh's 1933 short story about a man returning to his home in Ireland, where rather than peace and contentment he finds romance, neighborhood politics, and perhaps the path to mending what's broken inside of him.

"Shawn Kelvin, a blithe young lad of twenty, went to the States to seek his fortune. And fifteen years thereafter he returned to his native Kerry, his blitheness sobered and his youth dried to the core, and whether he had made his fortune or whether he had not, no one could be knowing for certain. For he was a quiet man, not given to talking about himself and the things he had done. A quiet man, under middle size, with strong shoulders and deep-set blue eyes below brows darker than his dark hair—that was Shawn Kelvin."

Presented live, on stream.

Be prepared for timeless tales brim with wit and magic.

THURSDAY January 16th at 7-8:30pm: THE THULE STOWAWAY

  

“I have reached these lands but newly.. From an ultimate dim Thule—”
THE THULE STOWAWAY
If a man makes a monster, he wonders, is he responsible for it? If one is the master of the monster, what happens when the monster is left alone? Does it wander in wrath? Does it rage? The poet does not consider his monster’s future. He makes it and sets it free in his kingdom.

TODAY at The Dickens Project SL: TEA WITH MR. DICKENS - Klannex Northmead & "Little Dorrit"

 

2pm slt: Tea With Mr. Dickens - "Little Dorrit"

Poet Klannex Northmead presents an hour of satire and irony from one of Mr. Dickens' most worthy works including, as it does, some of his most pointed social commentary (complete with Dickensian rants).

The event will be live in Voice at Fezziwig's Courtyard, accessible from The Dickens Project Welcome Area

Little Dorrit is a novel by English author Charles Dickens, originally published in serial form between 1855 and 1857. The story features Amy Dorrit, youngest child of her family, born and raised in the Marshalsea prison for debtors in London.

The novel satirizes some shortcomings of both government and society, including the institution of debtors' prisons, where debtors were imprisoned, unable to work and yet incarcerated until they had repaid their debts. The prison in this case is the Marshalsea, where Dickens's own father had been imprisoned. Dickens is also critical of the impotent bureaucracy of the British government, in this novel in the form of the fictional "Circumlocution Office". Dickens also satirizes the stratification of society that results from the British class system.

TODAY at The Dickens Project: Saturday, December 7th

THURSDAY November 28th at 10am: ALICES RESTAURANT MASSACREE - 17th ANNUAL!!!

     

<<17TH ANNUAL>>
ALICE'S RESTAURANT MASSACREE
The song is one of Arlo Guthrie's most prominent works, based on a true incident from his life that began on Thanksgiving Day 1965 with a citation for littering, and ended with the refusal of the U.S. Army to draft him because of his conviction for that crime. The ironic punch line of the story is that, in the words of Guthrie, "I'm sittin' here on the Group W bench 'cause you want to know if I'm moral enough to join the Army - burn women, kids, houses and villages - after bein' a litterbug." The final part of the song is an encouragement for the listeners to sing along, to resist the draft, and to end war.

The "song" is in fact a spoken monologue, presented by Shandon Loring today for your listening pleasure or just to groan at and be Thankful when it's over.

SATURDAY November 2nd at 6pm: MORGAN CAREY AND THE CURSE OF THE CORPSE BRIDE - Dia de los Muertos Myths & Legends

 


“Oh, don’t be such a scaredy-cat”
Morgan Carey
THE CURSE OF THE CORPSE BRIDE
Dia de los Muertos Myths & Legends by Susan Colleen Browne

Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) Myths and legends...
Halloween is just around the corner, and 5th grader Morgan chooses the coolest costume ever—a dead bride. Preparing for a fun night of trick-or-treating with her best friend Claire, she definitely did not expect a trip to the costume store to set off a series of strange encounters… Like the snarky, mysterious clerk at the store, a very curious bridal veil, and a weird fortune-telling machine that actually works…when it’s not plugged in!

But Halloween quickly takes a spooky turn: a Day of the Dead curse, an old book of magical spells, and a dark and deserted cemetery forces Morgan, with Claire’s help, to confront the powerful magic of Dia de los Muertos...Or is Morgan doomed to be cursed by the Corpse Bride forever? A family-friendly Halloween adventure - humor, drama and just the right touch of scariness!

A Halloween Trick or Treat by Seanan McGuire

In the small town of Holston, Oregon sits an abandoned mansion called the Holston house. The house is eerily well-maintained, considering that it has sat empty for many years.

It is Halloween night and a group of teenagers, including a girl named Emily, decide to break into the house.
