Patrick Garner's History's Alive returns Friday, March 3 at 10 AM with two great shows! Thomas Edison Inventor, Lecturer & Prankster and Benjamin Franklin, America's First Citizen. First, Mr. Edison delivers an informal, fun-filled lecture about his life, his inventions and the lessons those inventions taught him.

The ArtsPower Production of Anne of Green Gables takes the stage Saturday May 6 at 1 PM. Matthew Cuthbert and his sister Marilla need a boy to help with the chores around their farm on Prince Edward Island.

ArtsPower's heart-warming musical, based on Lucy Maud Montgomery's beloved novels, follows Anne on her unlikely journey to find the family she's always wanted.
