LATE NIGHT FUN
ITS BACK! and Better than ever!
Check out our occasional, wacky collaboration with the talented ImprovAcadia crew!
With the sound turned off, this ever-changing group of up-and-coming comedians improvise the dialogue, music tracks and sound effects to a cheesy, grade-B
movie, THAT THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE! Their talents make the pictures on the screen way funnier than they were ever anticipated. It's a totally new show every time.
Don't miss out on all the fun.
Learn how one small Surry, Maine-based non-profit organization is alleviating poverty and deforestation in Central America. Planting Hope is a short-documentary that captures life in rural Honduras from the perspectives of SHI field trainer, Juan Carlos, and participant farmer, Don Cheyo as they talk about sustainable farming. Sustainable Harvest International's mission is to provide farming families in Central America with the training and tools to preserve tropical forests while overcoming poverty. In Panama, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Belize, they work one-on-one, hands-on, with individual families and communities for a period of typically five years to teach them how to grow crops in a sustainable and organic way that will allow them to access plenty of vegetables and achieve economic stability through the commercialization of cash crops, like cacao and coffee. Planting Hope highlights our work to implement sustainable land-use practices and a Honduran farmer's achievements after working with us.
Orange-and-black wings fill the sky as NOVA charts one of nature's most remarkable phenomena: the epic migration of monarch butterflies across North America. NOVA's filmmakers followed monarchs on the wing throughout their extraordinary odyssey. To capture a butterfly's point of view, camera operators used a helicopter, ultralight, and hot-air balloon for aerial views along the butterflies' transcontinental route.
