Upcoming at Bissell's End
Empowering ARTISTS; Creating COMMUNITY.
It's been a little quiet at Bissell's End these past months, but we're delighted to say that the arts are coming back to life here in our little corner of the world!
When we paused our programming in March, we anticipated that renovations would be completed by October. As anyone who has undertaken a renovation knows, even the best-laid plans can take an unexpected turn. A few adventures in municipal approvals and permitting have extended our timeline, but we're finally moving forward. Work on the cottage is expected to begin soon, and, most importantly, the house is ready to welcome you back!
And while things may have been quiet on the performance front, we've been busy behind the scenes. We have some wonderful news and exciting plans to share - read on!
Coming in 2027 — A Season of Stories, Song, and Summer Nights
APRIL | An Evening of Storytelling
Inspired by the wonderful tradition of The Moth Radio Hour, we're planning an intimate evening devoted to the art of storytelling. Expect compelling, funny, poignant, and perhaps surprising true stories, told live by the people who lived them. An evening celebrating the simple magic of a good story, beautifully told.
MAY | A Special Benefit Cabaret Celebrating Marc Shaiman
We're especially excited about a unique musical evening celebrating the extraordinary work of composer and arranger Marc Shaiman.
From his early collaborations with Bette Midler to his acclaimed work on Broadway and in Hollywood—including Hairspray, Smash, Mary Poppins Returns, and Some Like It Hot—Shaiman has created some of the most memorable, hilarious, and moving music of the past several decades.
Our special cabaret retrospective will explore both his celebrated hits and some lesser-known treasures from his remarkable career, all in support of The Arts at Bissell's End. We think this will be a very special evening indeed!
SUMMER 2027 | Movies Under the Stars Return!
Yes, our summer movie nights will be back! We can't wait to gather again for those warm evenings of film, friendship, and a little movie magic under the stars. Watch for our summer lineup in the spring.
