Through August 26 - The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee Nominated for 6 Tony Awards, a tuneful, offbeat and smart musical depicting six adolescents, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. During each performance, the witty cast recruits audience members to participate onstage as guest spellers, guaranteeing new, hilarious and unexpected experiences each night. Through August 27 - Altar Boyz This parody, full of sinfully spectacular dancing and irreverent humor, depicts a heavenly guy group of 5 small-town boys trying to save the world one screaming fan at a time. Their pious pop act worked wonders on the Ohio bingo-hall-and-pancake-breakfast circuit. But when fate brings them to New York, will the Boyz take a bite out of the forbidden apple? Through August 28 - The Mystery of Edwin Drood This wildly warm-hearted show kicks off when the hilariously loony musical troupe Music Hall Royale performs their adaptation of Charles Dickens' unfinished novel. This play-within-a-play draws the audience toward one of the production's most talked-about features, which allows the audience to vote on the solution to a most unusual and hilarious finale. The professional Children's Theatre features adult actors who perform all original musical adaptations of favorite children's tales. This touring company shows twice weekly at the Papermill Theatre and tours several communities in New Hampshire. Live Entertainment at Woodstock

Friday, August 27, 8pm - Japanese-American Internment: A Personal Account In the wake of Pearl Harbor, the United States government forced the relocation and internment of approximately 110,000 Japanese and Japanese-Americans living along the Pacific Coast and other areas. David Sakura, a resident of Waterville Valley, will share his own story of relocation in the early 1940s. Told to leave their home near Seattle, Washington, David and his family had only four days to prepare before they had to report to a detention center in the area. Soon after they were relocated to an internment camp where they would spend two and a half years of their lives. The Heart Mountain War Relocation Center in northwestern Wyoming, like similar camps, was guarded by armed men, fenced by barbed wire, had unpartitioned toilets, cots for beds and a budget of 45 cents daily per capita for food rations.
