2011 Entertainment Lineup

Tuesday, July 12 Liz Buchanan and Gordon MacFarland
Liz Buchanan will be joined by Gordon MacFarland to present a fun, interactive concert all ages will love.

You’ll be “Feeling Groovy” and “Catching the Beat” with a great mix of original tunes and fun classics.

Tuesday, July 26 “ Big Joe” The Storyteller
Big Joe, that was the name given to him by the preschoolers he taught, and it is the same name he now uses as a professional storyteller. Hailed as “One of the best in the business” by the Boston Globe, Big Joe has been delighting children and families for many years with his exciting storytelling show. With a huge collection of original and classic tales as well as a box filled with puppets, props, and surprises, Big Joe has added lots of humor and fun to Tuesday Tunes and Tales each year. If you love stories, you will love the unique and wonderful experience of seeing Big Joe the Storyteller!

Tuesday, August 9 Tom Knight’s Music and Puppet Show
Tom Knight Puppets is a vibrant collection of original songs and skits, each 3-5 minutes long, with variety enough to keep even the very youngest children waiting to see what will happen next. While Tom sings to pre-recorded music tracks, puppets like Henry the Magician, the Little Elephant, Andy the Recycling Guy, and Allie the Alligator act out the stories of the songs. Besides the visual appeal, almost every segment has a part for the audience, including hand motions, singing along, or doing simple dance steps.

Tuesday, August 23 “ Scott Kepnes”

With an abundance of audience participation, upbeat energy and ability to connect with the audience, Scott is a crowd pleaser for all ages.

Special thanks to the Beebe Estate and the First Congregational Church for their continued support.
