Enjoy a drink and have a think! At Culture & Cocktails, a lecture program at the Miller House Museum, we tackle a historical topic with the help of a little liquid fortitude. Celebrate Veteran's Day with us as we honor Captain George Fisher, a four-time veteran of the United States Army. Fisher served in the Civil War, the Indian Wars, the Spanish-American War, and World War I, and somehow still found time to work for the railroad in between! Learn more about this memorable man from local author and historian Steve Bockmiller and see some of Captain Fisher's personal effects from the WCHS collection.
The featured cocktail will be: The Daiquiri! First brought to America by soldiers returning from Cuba after the Spanish-American War, this delicious rum cocktail became a huge hit during the years of World War II. It was even the favorite drink of writer Ernest Hemingway and President John F. Kennedy. Your ticket price will include your first drink, and refills will be available for a small fee. This event is for adults ages 21 and older, please! For more information, please don't hesitate to get in touch!

The Potomac Playmakers announce the second show of the Playmakers’ 2018-2019 Season, the classic Mary Chase comedy, “Harvey!” Elwood P. Dowd insists on including his friend Harvey in all of his sister Veta’s social gatherings. Trouble is, Harvey is an imaginary six-and-a-half-foot-tall rabbit. To avoid future embarrassment for her family—and especially for her daughter, Myrtle Mae—Veta decides to have Elwood committed to a sanitarium. At the sanitarium, a frantic Veta explains to the staff that her years of living with Elwood’s hallucination have caused her to see Harvey also, and so the doctors mistakenly commit her instead of her mild-mannered brother. The truth comes out, however; Veta is freed, and the search is on for Elwood, who eventually arrives at the sanitarium of his own volition, looking for Harvey. But, it seems that Elwood and his invisible companion have had a strange influence on more than one of the doctors. Only at the end does Veta realize that maybe Harvey isn’t so bad after all!
Produced with kind permission from Dramatists Play Service and funded in part by a generous grant from The Washington County Arts Council, “Harvey” is directed by Cathy James, and stars Tom Doty, Debbie Fitzsimmons, Amy Fox, Lori Goodnow, Andrew King, Kevin Richardson, Jake Smith, Sam Sprecht, Rachael Thompson, and Jim Zuna. “Harvey” will be performed November 9-11, 2018 at Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, located at 35 W. Potomac Street, Williamsport, Maryland 21795. Showtimes for the Friday and Saturday performances will be at 8:00 p.m., while the Sunday matinee will begin at 4:00 p.m. Tickets are $15, and are available online at

Stories In The Round - The Guys
Unitarian Universalist Church of Hagerstown meeting hall
13245 Cearfoss Pike
11/26/2018 at 7:00pm
Fanny Crawford and Stas Ziolkowski perform The Guys, a two-person play by Anne Nelson written just two weeks after 9/11/2001 when the towers fell at Ground Zero. The play tells the story of a fire captain who lost a number of the men from his company. An uncomfortable writer under normal circumstances and now paralyzed with grief, he is asked to speak at an overwhelming number of memorial services with a eulogy for each. Desperate, he turns to a journalist, a former war correspondent for help. Together they struggle for words, jumping the well-defined tracks of their own lives to learn the healing power of human connection, describing the fallen men with affection and respect for each one. A serious piece with both educational and humorous aspects, the play honors first responders who daily provide dedicated, unselfish service to the rest of us. Stories In The Round is a 10 session series at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Hagerstown, 13245 Cearfoss Pike (Salem Ave. extended) usually on the 4th Monday of the month, March thru December. Children 12 years & older welcome when accompanied by a parent or group leader.
Fee: $10 in advance $12 at the door

Carol of the King - The Irish Dance Christmas Spectacular
Monday, December 17, 2018 at 7:00pm
Carol of the King, The Irish Dance Christmas Spectacular is led by former lead dancer from Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance and founder of Two Step Productions, Justin Boros. Two Step Productions also created the smash hit and fastest growing Irish dance show in the U.S., Rhythm in the Night, The Irish Dance Spectacular, which continues to tour every Spring and set records across the county. Two Step Productions is bringing the two biggest things in the world together for the very first time, Irish dance and Christmas, to turn an age-old tradition into the first ever Irish dance Christmas spectacular the whole family will enjoy!
Winter has fallen across the land. King Solomon and his kingdom prepare for the Christmas season celebration. While cold winds caress the landscape, one gust brought an unearthly chill not felt before. The dark sorceress Circe and her ghostly legion known as The Frost are upon the land. She has trapped the legendary King Solomon under her spell in an attempt to steal the throne and expel Christmas once and for all. Unable to free himself and carry forth the holiday spirit, hope remains lost for all those in the kingdom...until now.
In a brave effort to rescue their king and preserve the spirit of the season, the kingdom has called upon Solomon's loving companion Brighid, his younger brother Aidan and the Guardians to restore harmony to the land. With the frigid forces attempting to break the will of the crown and banish Christmas for eternity, will darkness reign or will victory be seized from Circe's icy grip in the legend that has come to be known as Carol of the King.
