This week on the Stage under the big tent at Colby-Sawyer campus…

The Barnies will be performing.

This season will unfold with premieres of stirring dance theater works, Hop commissions of new music, expressions from across cultures, and immersive performances created for (and by) our community. Visionary artists will make the Hop their home as they develop new work and share their process. Collaborations will cross disciplines. And our adventurous community will gather again.

Where in the world can you borrow an iPad, play MahJongg, reserve a tent, discuss films and books? All of the above and more at the Abbott Library. Check it out!
