A treasure in Plain(field) sight
Legendary neo-classical
painter Maxfield Parrish lived for 68 years in Plainfield, NH where his priceless painting of an idyllic woodland scene, lake, and Mt. Ascutney graces the town hall's stage. Learn how this 1916 set, rigging, and stage pieces are being renovated. "It gave me a sense of awe and respect for what was here," says rigging restorer Eric Durett.
Produced by Rick Russell for JAM on behalf of the Plainfield Town and Parrish Stage Set Committee

All hail the harper!
Hot weather calls for this cool concert from Brattleboro's Rachel Clemente, who graced First Congregational Church in Lebanon for a celestial show sponsored by the Upper Valley Music Center. It featured her compositions, Scottish tunes, and classical fare. Clemente told listeners, "This one's 'She Put Her Knee on the Old Man.' Do with that one what you will!"

Animation is art made one frame at a time, 24 frames per second, to create the illusion of movement in a completely imagined world. It is detailed, slow work. Check out 8 seconds (do the math!) of magic created by JAM Campers last week as part of the Vermont-wide "Crowdsource Cinema" re-creation of Toy Story. Can you identify each young animator's unique style? Can you spot the claymation portion made on green screen? The week concluded with a visit from Joe Jacobs, CATV camp alum, Hanover High and USC School of Cinematic Arts grad now working for Insomniac Games, creator of Spider-Man 2, showing his original thesis animation film and introducing careers in animation.
Produced by JAM Advanced Animation Camp, with Jordyn Fitch & Noah Mauchly 07/6/23

Shelf Help is back!
NEW EPISODE #41 – A request from Matt S. for “gay/queer romance novels” prompted an extensive list from the booksellers, including when When Kate Met Cassidy, One Last Stop, Red White and Royal Blue (soon to be a movie), In At The Deep End, Ladies Guide to Celestial Mechanics, A Lady for a Duke, and all gay hockey books — which seems to be an extensive sub- category of this genre. Have fun with these!
Shelf Help is a collaboration between the Book Jam, a nonprofit designed to inspire readers; JAM – Junction Arts & Media, and three Upper Valley bookstores: Yankee Bookshop in Woodstock, VT; the Norwich Bookstore in Norwich, VT; and Still North Books & Bar in Hanover, NH.
