For “the summer people,” returning and first time visitors, there are many changes happening at the Strand Theater this summer.

In place of films this season, Larry and Liz McNamara have turned the space into an intimate music venue, while waiting final funding to convert the cinema’s projector, screen and sound system to a digital format.

Behind the fundraising effort, are many hard working members of the Save the Strand committee, which recently met to talk about the strategic plan for the Strand. Read more in our 2014 Music and Arts Scene section.

Start Your Weekend With Open Mic Night & Mark Piper

The reputation of Mark Piper's Open Mic night at Witherbee's Carriage House  is known all over the North Country. Every Thursday, come rain, hail or shine, Mark is there, signing up the musicians and making sure the show runs smoothly. (And by that we mean No One Gets To Play Wagon Wheel!!!) An amazing talent in his own right, you can catch Mark playing not only on Thursdays at Witherbee's, but gigs all over the 'Dacks. You can check out his schedule, here. Open Mic sign up starts at 6:30pm.
