SUMMARY:Staged Reading of Wallace Shawn’s “Aunt Dan and Lemon” to Benefit Waldo County Woodshed and Waldo County  Bounty
DESCRIPTION:A good story can reach people in ways arguments can’t. Theater lets us sit with hard questions together and then talk about them\, and it brings people into the room who might never come to a meeting. \nWallace Shawn’s “Aunt Dan and Lemon\,” directed by Belfast’s Zafra Whitcomb\, follows a young woman\, Lemon\, and her charismatic mentor\, Aunt Dan\, whose stories of glamour\, comfort\, and admiration for powerful men slowly reveal how ordinary people come to accept cruelty and hand their allegiance to strongmen. Written forty years ago\, it feels like it was written for this fall. \nCome early and stay late for the social gatherings before and after each performance\, with music by DJ Dee Dee Seahorn. The event is sponsored by Madison Cook\, candidate for House District 39. \nReserve your tickets now at belfastmaskers.com/auntdan\, and bring family\, friends\, and neighbors.\nFriday\, Oct. 23\, 7:00 PM (social at 6:00) and Saturday\, Oct. 24\, 2:00 PM (social at 1:30)\nBasil Burwell Community Theater\, 17 Court Street\, Belfast \nTickets: $5\, $15\, $25\, or $50. Seating is unreserved and proceeds will go to the Waldo County Woodshed and Waldo County Bounty.

SUMMARY:reWorks: A Collaborative Literary Art Project
DESCRIPTION:A live reading\, art viewing and panel discussion celebrating the ways creative ideas echo across mediums. We commissioned three authors to write a short piece inspired by this year’s Maine Lit Fest theme – “responding to the moment” – then commissioned three artists to reinterpret their work visually\, for publication in a limited-run reWorks zine! Free copies of the zine will be distributed at the start of the event\, and artwork will be displayed while our authors read from and discuss their entries with each other. \nWe are grateful to have worked with writers Samaa Abdurraqib\, Gary Rainford\, and Josie Sibara\, and artists Katherine Emery\, Jennifer Judd-McGee\, and Kaitlyn Miller. \nThis program is an Open Call Event of the 2026 Maine Lit Fest and was made possible through the support of the Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance.

SUMMARY:Book Launch and Dramatic Reading with Carolyn Locke
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday October 6th\, 6:30 pm the Belfast Free Library presents a book launch and dramatic reading for Carolyn Locke’s release\, “Between Ray and Eva: A Memoir in Poetry.”\nLocal author Carolyn Locke and her children\, Alison and Jeffrey Locke\, will do a dramatic reading from this moving memoir inspired by ten months of daily letters exchanged between Carolyn’s parents beginning in April of 1938 when Ray contracted tuberculosis. \nThe collection offers intimate glimpses into the lives of two young people confronted with this deadly disease just six months after they were married. It is a testament to the love\, humor\, and generosity that carried them through their separation during the time of the Great Depression and the years leading up to the Second World War.\nFree and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served and books will be available for purchase.
