2024 Season
We are excited to close our 2023 season on November 16 with what is promising to be a sold out event with Dr. Nirav Shah at the 500 seat Freeport Performing Arts Center. This follows our last two "sold out" events previously at our other venue, the 180 seat Meetinghouse Arts.
Thank you to our many season supporters who have allowed us to bring you an amazing 2023 season. We are also excited to preview some of our 2024 season with the following confirmed events:
Alan Lightman
March 21, 2024
Best-selling author of Einstein's Dreams, physicist, MIT professor and social entrepreneur, Dr. Lightman will explore the questions raised in his book Searching for Stars on an Island in Maine: How do complex human experiences, such as feeling connected to nature, feeling part of things larger than ourselves, falling in love, the appreciation of beauty, arise from the material atoms and molecules of our brains? It will be an evening melding the spiritual and the scientific in search of truth.
Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson & Barton Seaver
Date TBD
Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson is a marine biologist, policy expert, writer and the Roux Distinguished Scholar of environmental science at Bowdoin College. Barton Seaver is an author, speaker and chef on a mission to restore our relationship with the ocean, the land, and with each other—through sustainable eating. Together, they will lead us down a path to a healthier planet and healthier selves. Combined, Johnson and Seaver's TED talks have had over 5 million listeners.
Ann McKee, MD
Date TBD
Ann McKee, MD is a neurologist and neuropathologist and in 2018 was listed as one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people. Her career focuses on Alzhiemer's disease and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), with groundbreaking work on the effects of repetitive head impacts and concussions in sports. Dr. McKee will guide us to a better understanding of the shifting paradigm in our understanding of sports-related head trauma.
