9 Things You Never Knew About 'It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
Glenn Close plays Joan Castleman, the long-suffering wife of celebrated writer Joe Castleman (Jonathan Pryce), who has just won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Joe has always enjoyed his life as a celebrity; Joan has poured her intellect, charm, grace and diplomacy into her supportive role as a great man's wife. As the Nobel ceremony draws near, Joan begins to re-examine her role in life, her frustrations, her own talents and her considerable sacrifices, and that all explodes into one dazzling performance by Close.
While she has been up for an Oscar eight times, Close has never won. Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair says, Full of fury in The Wife, she might have the competitive edge this year. Whatever happens, it will be a thrill to watch.
Every Columbus Day Weekend the Museum's Village Green welcomes dozens of vendors of handmade items and fabulous food along with a wide variety of live entertainment. The sound of the train's steam whistle resonating throughout the crisp fall air reminds guests that this is not your typical craft show.
The beautiful crafts are center stage on the Village Green surrounded by the historic buildings and structures of the Boothbay Railway Village. Rides on the narrow gauge steam train and the opportunity for guests to explore exhibits detailing Maine's railroad heritage, interpreting village life, and displaying more than 60 antique automobiles set this event apart.
What's the difference between a fiddle and a violin? In the hands of a celebrated guest soloist with over 50 Symphony Orchestras, who also shreds electric fiddle through fuzz, wah and looping effects ...who is called "the future of the Celtic Fiddle" by the Washington Post, and "the Jimi Hendrix of the violin" by the New York Times ...who is Bronx born, yet the 9-time All-Ireland Fiddle Champion. What's the difference? Nothing, in the hands of Eileen Ivers.
Eileen Ivers has established herself as the pre-eminent exponent of the Irish fiddle in the world today and we welcome her to Boothbay Harbor this October for what promises to be a rousing evening of music from Ireland and beyond.
