Spoken Word Stage

As part of the NG250 series of events celebrating the town’s 250th anniversary of its incorporation, Spoken Word Stage featured performances of nine townspeople at Coolidge Family Farm on the evening of April 25. They read both original material and published works by other authors. Event organizer Penny Hilton served as the emcee.

The program is scheduled to be telecast at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Oct. 25, 26 and 27 on NGTV cable Channel 3 and will be available as video-on-demand at cloud.castus.tv/vod/ngtv/?page=HOME.
