SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry Writing Workshop with Susan Roney-O'Brien (January)
DESCRIPTION:This virtual poetry workshop is a vehicle for critique\, a time of close reading and thoughtful responses that help craft the written word so that it says exactly what the author intends. The focus is the work itself. Poets are respectful of each other\, value the craft\, understand the courage it takes to have work critiqued\, and make the final decisions about their own writing. Please join us. Writing prompts will be shared with registrants one week before the workshop\, and we request you submit your work at least three days before the workshop to give attendees time to read your poem. \nSusan Roney-O’Brien earned her MFA at Warren Wilson College and is the author of five poetry collections. She hosts monthly poetry readings\, teaches workshops and coordinates the Stanley Kunitz summer writing series.

SUMMARY:Get the Led Out
DESCRIPTION:Get The Led Out\, originally scheduled for Thursday\, November 10\, has been rescheduled for Thursday\, January 5\, 2023 at 7:30pm. Your current tickets are now valid for the new date. There is no need to obtain new tickets. If you are unable to attend the new date\, please contact the box office at 877.571.7469 to discuss your options. \n\nFrom the bombastic and epic\, to the folky and mystical\, Get The Led Out (GTLO) have\ncaptured the essence of the recorded music of Led Zeppelin and brought it to the concert stage.\nThe Philadelphia-based group consists of six veteran musicians intent on delivering Led\nZeppelin live\, like you’ve never heard before. Utilizing the multi-instrumentalists at their\ndisposal\, GTLO re-create the songs in all their depth and glory with the studio overdubs that\nZeppelin themselves never performed. When you hear three guitars on the album…GTLO\ndelivers three guitarists on stage. No wigs or fake English accents\, GTLO brings what the\naudience wants…a high energy Zeppelin concert with an honest\, heart-thumping intensity. \nA GTLO concert mimics the “light and shade” that are the embodiment of “The Mighty Zep.”\nWhether it’s the passion and fury with which they deliver the blues-soaked\, groove-driven rock\nanthems\, it’s their attention to detail and nuance that makes a Get The Led Out performance a\ntruly awe-inspiring event!

SUMMARY:Hip Hop Nutcracker
DESCRIPTION:A holiday mash-up for the whole family\, The Hip Hop Nutcracker returns to the stage for its seventh season on tour. Directed and choreographed by Jennifer Weber\, this contemporary dance spectacle is a re-mixed and re-imagined version of the classic\, smashing hip hop dance and Tchaikovksy’s timeless music together into a heart-stirring and inspirational holiday event. The Hip Hop Nutcracker is brought to life by a powerhouse cast of a dozen all-star dancers\, a DJ\, a violinist\, and MC Kurtis Blow\, one of hip hop’s founding fathers\, who opens the show with a short set. \nJust like the original\, in The Hip Hop Nutcracker\, Maria-Clara and the Nutcracker Prince go on a dream adventure battling a gang of mice\, visiting the land of sweets and learning the lessons of the holiday season. Innovative digital graffiti and visuals transform the landscape of E.T.A. Hoffmann’s beloved story from traditional 19th Century Germany to the vibrant\, diverse sights and sounds of contemporary New York City. \nGrab your family and friends and let the dynamic performers of The Hip Hop Nutcracker take you on a journey that celebrates love\, community and the magic of the holiday season.

SUMMARY:Cara Brindisi: The Snow Globe Tour
DESCRIPTION:Fresh off season 22 of NBC's The Voice\, join Worcester's own\, Cara Brindisi for her last stop on The Snow Globe Tour. You may have seen Cara perform numerous times over the years at Mechanics Hall as direct support for local and national acts.  This holiday\, don't miss her headlining show in The Great Hall with special performances by other artists from The Voice!  The evening will include a mix of holiday tunes\, original songs\, her own renditions of her nationally televised performances\, and stories from the stage.\n  \nAbout Cara Brindisi:\nDescribed as 'perfect' by John Legend and 'hypnotic' by Blake Shelton\, Cara Brindisi is a vocalist with equal parts power and ease. After a decade of performances that include direct support for Chris Isaak\, Tower of Power\, Adam Lambert\, and Dispatch\, Cara brought her talents to The Voice stage season 22\, landing her a spot on Team Gwen. Gwen Stefani acknowledged the soothing and effortless quality to Cara's voice as well as her gift for story-telling. Cara has been writing\, recording\, and performing original music for the entirety of her career\, many of her songs inspired by her initial career as a Music Therapist. Her studies at Berklee College of Music led her to pursue this work\, predominantly with those at end of life in Hospice. Somewhere between these two careers\, the gentle and the glamour\, lies the authentic feeling one is guaranteed when listening to Cara Brindisi perform live in any type of setting.
