SUMMARY:Cancelled: “The Flat Iron Lot” presented by Pontine Theatre
DESCRIPTION:CANCELLED! \nDon’t miss this special springtime event! We are pleased to welcome back Portsmouth’s Pontine Theatre to Tamworth\, with a timely story about a fictional New Hampshire town as it celebrates its 250th birthday. \nThe Flat Iron Lot\nExperience an original stage adaptation of Alice Brown’s short story “The Flat Iron Lot\,” published in 1899. (The elder Dr. Remick was age 33 when this story was published\, in his 5th year of practicing medicine.) Set in the fictional town of Tiverton — based on Brown’s hometown of Hampton Falls\, NH — the story chronicles a rural New England community’s celebration of its 250th birthday. With fits and starts\, contention and compromise\, the residents organize historical reenactments\, a grand parade\, and speeches from civic leaders and the town’s beloved\, unofficial historian. In the end\, the townspeople enjoy a reinvigorated sense of civic pride and appreciation for the shared heritage that binds them as a community. \nThe story is an apt microcosm of the ambitions\, struggles and ideals of our upcoming national observance of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. \nLISTEN TO Pontine Theatre discussing this performance with New Hampshire Public Radio’s Rick Ganley on March 11\, 2026. \nA “Flat Iron Lot” (or flatiron) is a distinctively triangular piece of land created by the intersection of roads at an acute angle. Often called a wedge or point lot\, this shape resembles an old-fashioned clothes iron\, making it prime\, albeit challenging\, real estate for unique\, angular buildings like New York’s famous Flatiron Building. Source: Google search. \n  \n \n+ Alice Brown (December 5\, 1857 – June 21\, 1948) was an American novelist\, poet and playwright\, best known as a writer of local-color stories. Born in Hampton Falls\, New Hampshire\, Ms. Brown graduated from Robinson Female Seminary in Exeter in 1876. She later worked as a teacher for five years\, but moved to Boston to write full-time in 1884. — Bio and photo source: Wikipedia. \n\nPontine’s Co-Artistic Directors and performers\, Marguerite Mathews and Greg Gathers\, have developed a special fondness for searching out rich\, historical literary gems and bringing them to life for audiences throughout the region. Pontine’s shows often feature antique stage techniques\, including rolling panoramas\, puppetry\, and toy theatre figures to bring stories alive onstage. Mr. Gathers creates all the props and sets used in the theatre’s productions. \n\n$10 | $5 for members*\nAges 14 and above; interested and patient attendees under age 14 are welcome.\nSpace is limited; preregister early to ensure your spot.\nThe program is approximately 60 minutes long.\nFollowing the performance\, view the theatre staging and props\, and interact with the artists. \nPURCHASE TICKETS\nMEMBERSHIP DISCOUNT (Remick Ramblers and Museum Maven levels): All ticketing is charged at the $10 ticket price; Remick membership discount will be refunded for both online and in-person sales once membership status is confirmed.\nNot sure if your membership is current? Give us a call at (603) 323-7591. \nAdditional ways to purchase tickets: Call (603) 323-7591 | Email | On-site\, while tickets remain \n*Remick Ramblers and Museum Maven levels only.\nNot sure if your membership is current? Give us a call at (603) 323-7591. \nRegistration & Cancellation Policies \n  \nThis event is part of our Spring at the Farmstead schedule. \n  \n\nABOUT PONTINE THEATRE \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n“Pontine Theatre is a small miracle. The theater has used puppets\, mime and stagecraft to convey visions of the past to modern audiences for more than 35 years. Artistic Directors Marguerite Mathews and Greg Gathers conspire to fascinate the contemporary mind with original works based on the stories and literature of New England. There’s really nothing else like it anywhere.” ~ NH Magazine \n“Since 1977\, Pontine Theatre has been an active participant in the development of actor-based theatre\, creating work that is engaging\, innovative and original. Co-Artistic Directors\, Marguerite Mathews and Gregory Gathers have produced over fifty original works. Creating and performing these works\, Pontine has introduced their unique form of theatre to audiences throughout New England\, transforming audience interest in gestural theatre\, puppetry\, toy theatre and storytelling into enthusiasm for this distinctive synthesis of forms. \n“In choosing projects for our at-home performance series and subsequent tours\, we endeavor to reflect the interests of the audiences we serve. We are fortunate to live and work in a region with a particularly rich history and a citizenry deeply interested in this legacy. As other cultural organizations work to preserve historic landmarks and significant architecture\, we have dedicated many of our performances to celebrating classic works of New England literature: some well-known\, others obscure gems. We also create works based on original research that explore various aspects of New England culture and history. \n“…Our intimately-scaled chamber productions are an ideal fit for the small-town audiences…. The intimate scale of our productions reflects an aesthetic choice to magnify the theatrical power and artistic integrity of our work through concentrated attention to the details of each element comprising the whole.” \n“…art has the capacity to reach us on multiple levels at the same time. It’s much more than an intellectual experience\, it’s also an emotional experience\, can be a spiritual experience\, can even be a physical experience. And there are very few times in life when all those aspects of our nature are brought together in the same place and we’re made aware of it. And I think it makes for a very deep bonding experience between actors and audience and between audience members. The fact that that performance happens only in that moment with everybody’s cooperation — it’s priceless. It’s absolutely priceless.” ~ Greg Gathers\, Co-Artistic Director of Pontine Theatre \n

SUMMARY:“Wet Paint Tamworth” at Remick
DESCRIPTION:Wet Paint Tamworth returns to Remick on Friday\, April 24 (times listed are approximate)! This 7th annual painters’ retreat\, organized by The Preserve at Chocorua\, provides professional artists with a collective and immersive time to paint outdoors\, en plein air. This year’s event takes place Thursday\, April 23–Saturday\, April 25 (daily schedule). Each day of the retreat\, the group gathers at various scenic and sought-out locations across Tamworth\, including Remick. While on-site\, the artists welcome visitors to observe them as they paint and enjoy interacting with interested onlookers. It’s always a special time at the farmstead\, and the resulting paintings allow us and visitors to see this historic site through the artists’ perspectives. \nAs a group\, the painters are encouraged to paint at a pre-selected site on a given day. Some choose to paint at Remick on an additional day. Over the course of this annual event\, numerous artists have let us know that Remick is their preferred spot to paint during the retreat due to its variety of inspiring subject matter: scenery\, architecture\, pond\, twisting paths\, animals\, birds\, Mt. Chocorua… \nPaintings done during the retreat will be on public display in The Hayford Barn at The Preserve\, Thursday\, April 23–Saturday\, April 25. A portion of all sales will benefit the NH Food Bank’s Summer Nutrition Program\, which provides food for kids during their summer break. (Remick was pleased to be able to provide a meal boxing space for this program in 2025.)

SUMMARY:“A New England Christmas” presented by Pontine Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss this special holiday event! We are pleased to welcome back Portsmouth’s Pontine Theatre to Tamworth\, with two holiday stories featuring the essence of Christmas in New England. \nA NEW ENGLAND CHRISTMAS 2025\nFor this year’s holiday program\, Pontine performs two treasured seasonal tales: A Speakin’ Ghost and Christmas Back Home. Both stories are by wonderful regional authors long gone and largely forgotten by contemporary audiences. \n+ A Speakin’ Ghost\, written by Annie Trumbull Slosson (1838–1926)\, features a woman born and raised in Rye\, New Hampshire. Many years after leaving her childhood home near the ocean to work as a household servant\, she finds herself living an isolated life providing care to an elderly man. She spends most of her time alone in her room\, reliving memories of years gone by. From these musings arises a ghost-like figure\, a young boy who begins making regular visits to this lonely soul. \nAnnie Trunbull Slosson published over 15 collections of short stories between 1878 and 1912 and was a frequent contributor to the Atlantic and Harper’s. Her first book\, “The China Hunter’s Club” (1878)\, a collection of dialect stories situated in her native Stonington\, Connecticut and the Franconia Notch area of New Hampshire\, was considered\, along with Sarah Orne Jewett’s Deephaven (1877) and Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Pogonuc People (1878)\, to be one of the first identifiable examples of the regional or “local color” genre. \n+ Christmas Back Home\, a story by Eugene Wood (1860–1923)\, features a delightful cast of characters who inhabit a small\, rural town. The piece evokes the childhood magic and suspense of Christmas as the special day approaches. The enchantment of preparing gifts to both give and receive enlivens this simple\, heartfelt musing about the most magical day of the year. \nEugene Wood wrote stories describing the lives of rural folks whom he had known in the small towns where he lived. His three best-known books are fittingly titled “Back Home\,” “Folks Back Home\,” and “Our Town.” His career began with newspaper work as a reporter on The Cleveland Herald. He was also a regular contributor to principal magazines. \n \nScene from the “toy theatre” production of Christmas Back Home\, original artwork created by Greg Gathers of Pontine Theatre. Watch the video below to see Pontine Theatre’s toy theatre in use\, along with other theatrical stylings. \nPontine’s Co-Artistic Directors and performers\, Marguerite Mathews and Greg Gathers\, have developed a special fondness for searching out rich\, historical literary gems and bringing them to life for audiences throughout the region. Pontine’s shows often feature antique stage techniques\, including rolling panoramas\, puppetry\, and toy theatre figures to bring stories alive onstage. Mr. Gathers creates all the props and sets used in the theatre’s productions. \nThis event would make a delightful pre-Christmas gift! \n\n$10 | $5 for members\nSpace is limited\, preregistration is required.\nSuitable for ages 14 and above; interested and patient attendees under age 14 are welcome.\nThe program is approximately 60 minutes long.\nFollowing the performance\, enjoy a gingerbread cookie (or two)\, view the theatre staging and props\, and interact with the artists. \nPREREGISTER HERE\nMembers: All ticketing falls under the $10 registration fee\, member discount will be applied at checkout.\nNot sure if your membership is current? Give us a call at (603) 323-7591. \n  \nThis event is part of our Fall at the Farmstead schedule. \n  \n\nABOUT PONTINE THEATRE \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n“Pontine Theatre is a small miracle.

SUMMARY:Pontine Theatre: A White Heron & The Star Splitter
DESCRIPTION:SPECIAL EVENT\nCity theater in rural Tamworth — don’t miss this unique event! We are pleased to welcome Portsmouth’s Pontine Theatre to Tamworth\, with their original and mesmerizing “toy theater” adaptations of A White Heron by Sarah Orne Jewett and Robert Frost’s poem The Star Splitter. \n\nSOJOURNER STORIES: NEW ENGLANDERS IN NATURE \nSarah Orne Jewett’s A White Heron\, published in 1886\nA coming-of-age story about a young city girl\, Sylvia\, who comes to live with her grandmother in the country. She meets a young ornithologist who is hunting a rare bird he recently spotted in the area. Sylvia wants to please the young man by revealing the heron’s location\, yet doesn’t want him to take its life. In the end\, she embraces her passion for country life and the natural world around her. \nThis is Pontine’s fifth staging of Sarah Orne Jewett’s stories. Born in 1849 in South Berwick\, Maine\, Jewett was the daughter of the town doctor. As a child\, she often accompanied him on his rounds to rural farms in the area. She would sit and listen to family members talking together while waiting for her father. She came to love the wit and wisdom of these country folks and they became the subject of her writings as an adult. \n  \n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nRobert Frost’s The Star Splitter\, published in 1923\nPublished in 1923\, this poem explores the conflict between societal expectations and individual passions. A farmer’s reckless pursuit of a telescope leads to the loss of his farm and home. This loss initially evokes ridicule from the townspeople. However\, their subsequent contemplation reveals the importance of forgiveness and understanding. Frost uses the image of a telescope\, “a star-splitter\,” as a symbol of the farmer’s “life-long curiosity about our place among the infinities.” \nHistorical note: Jewett (1849–1909) and Frost (1874–1963) were writing\, published\, and widely appreciated within the lifetimes of our namesake country doctors\, the Drs. Remick. \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n“…art has the capacity to reach us on multiple levels at the same time. It’s much more than an intellectual experience\, it’s also an emotional experience\, can be a spiritual experience\, can even be a physical experience. And there are very few times in life when all those aspects of our nature are brought together in the same place and we’re made aware of it.
