With Deepest Appreciation for Our Fallen Heroes On Memorial Day we remember and appreciate the men and women of the United States Armed Forces whose lives have been lost, those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Forever in our hearts and minds, their service and sacrifice will never be forgotten. All gave some, some gave all. Freedom isn’t free.

All modern pro- ductions of Le Corsaire are derived from the revivals staged by the Ballet Master Marius Petipa for the Imperial Ballet of St. Petersburg throughout the mid to late 19th century. The ballet has many celebrated passages which are often excerpted from the full-length work and performed independently: the scene Le Jardin animé, the Pas d’esclave, the Pas de trois des odalisques, and the so-called Le Corsaire pas de deux, which is among classical ballet's most famous and performed excerpts.

Friday – June 21 – Sail with the Gundalow Company [Independent] – For centuries, gundalows connected up-river Seacoast towns to Ports- mouth, the region’s seaport and primary market town. Harnessing the wind and riding the tide, the sailing barges moved bricks, hay, firewood, and goods crucial to the economy and everyday life. The Gundalow Company in Portsmouth celebrates this history, protecting the Piscataqua region’s maritime heritage and environment through education and action. A full-scale replica of the last commercially operated gundalow — the Capt. Edward H. Adams, built in 1886 — was constructed in Portsmouth in the 1980s. A second, named Piscataqua, after the river, was constructed in 2011 after a five-year fundraising and planning effort.

Featuring such beloved songs as “People.” “Don’t Rain on My Parade, ” and “Sadie, Sadie.” Tickets are $25 per person and are non-refundable. Bus pick-up begins at 12:45pm.

Thursday – July 25 – Ragtime at Interlakes Theater [Easy] – Ragtime is a compelling epic capturing the American experience at the turn of the 20th century.

Featuring many of the historical figures that built and shaped turn-of-the-century America, including J.P. Morgan, Emma Goldman, Harry Houdini, Evelyn Nesbit and Henry Ford, this musical sweeps across the diversity of the American experience to create a stirring epic that captures the beats of the American experience: the marches, the cakewalks and – of course, the ragtime. Tickets are $25 per person and are non-refundable. Bus pick-up begins at 12:45pm. Page 12
