Tickets $25-$50 Adult, $15 Youth CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS
Ever wonder what John Prine has to do with Christmas? Ever wished the beloved songwriter had more to do with sleigh bells, eggnog, and Old Saint Nick?
In 1994 Prine released his 11th LP titled, “A John Prine Christmas.” The critics didn’t acclaim it much, but with titles such as “Silent Night All Day Long ” and “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” it’s still Prine at his lovely wry best, bringing Christmas home.
We are proud to present “A John Prine Christmas” – a night of your favorite songs featuring folk troubadour and Prine scholar, Jenner Fox, with his all-star band. The evening will weave together Prine’s classic hits, his holiday themed songs, stories, and lots of singing along. Come prepared to laugh and cry and ho ho ho your way through celebrating a true American original.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS (www.jennerfox.com)
Made up of members from Pacific Northwest groups Polecat, Petty or Not and Skillethead, the Jenner Fox Band first assembled for a 240 mile cargo bicycle tour across Northern California in 2021. It clicked. They shared a sensibility for deep listening, three part harmonies, John Prine, and flat tires. Americana UK calls their most recent LP, “Evocative and revelatory…reminiscent of children’s books much loved by adults.” This band is not one to be missed.

Tickets $25 – $50 Adults, $15 Youth CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS
Beautiful, powerful, personal and musical – “Resilience” is a play with the urgency of now combined with timeless stories of healing.
Internationally recognized musician, humanitarian, and artists Samite tells his life’s story in this multi-media one-man play. He tells the story of his emergence from the nightmare of life under Amin and Milton Obote (“… when the birds stopped singing”) to being a healer through the power of music.
Samite often includes a story or two in his concerts, but now he has turned his entire presentation inside out and the result is raw and bracing. Both performances of this show include an extended post-performance Q&A for authentic audience connection.

“Rhythmic beats, floating melodies and impactful lyrics are the main components needed to create African music. These are also the elements Ugandan musician Samite Mulondo uses to spread hope, healing and peace around the world.” – Grand Valley Lanthorn
“Resilience is about blending beautiful traditional African music with stories of hope and tolerance. Sharing difficult topics, Samite opened the doors for the us to gain new knowledge and empathy with grace and sensitivity. Music definitely heals – A must see!” – Karen Wacks, (LMHC, M.Ed., MT-BC) Professor of Music Therapy, Berklee College of Music

ABOUT THE ARTIST
The world-renowned musician Samite was born and raised in Uganda, where his grandfather taught him to play the traditional flute.
When he was twelve, a music teacher placed a western flute in his hands setting him on his way to becoming one of East Africa’s most acclaimed flutists. He performed frequently to enthusiastic audiences throughout Uganda until 1982, when he was forced to flee to Kenya as a political refugee. Samite immigrated to the United States in 1987, and now he and his wife Sandra make their home on their small horse farm in upstate New York.
When he is not touring, Samite finds inspiration from their horses, Shadow and Thyme, photography and woodworking. Today his smooth vocals accompanied by the kalimba, marimba, litungu, and various flutes mesmerize audiences throughout the world.
Samite has released eleven CDs internationally and in 2009, the film Taking Root: The Vision of Wangari Maathai, which features his original score, debuted nationally on PBS. Samite released My Music World, in 2010 and, as he states, the album captures more of who he is than any of his previous albums. “It represents influences from all the places I have been, from my childhood in Uganda, and my life in Kenya as a refugee, to my current travels in Africa with my work for Musicians for World Harmony. I am always inspired by my surroundings– my childhood hikes into the forest, my teenage years in Kampala, and my visits to refugee camps and orphanages.” In 2012, Samite composed the soundtrack for the film Addiction Incorporated and his ninth CD, Trust {Inspired by the soundtrack for the film “Addiction Incorporated”} was released in that year. Samite has recently released his tenth CD, “Another Side of Me” (available on this website) and he is currently working on another CD to be released later this year.
Samite is the subject of the documentary, Song of the Refugee, distributed by PBS in 1998. It was while filming this that Samite’s work as a humanitarian began. In 2002, he founded Musicians for World Harmony, an organization dedicated to enabling musicians throughout the world to share their music to promote peace, understanding, and harmony among people. In that capacity he travels to sing, play music, and exchange stories with victims of war, poverty and HIV/AIDS. He has traveled extensively the war-torn and distressed countries of Uganda, Kenya, Congo, Rwanda, Tanzania, Latvia, Liberia and Cote d’Ivoire to work in refugee camps, with former child soldiers and AIDS orphans.
In his role as Founding Director of Musicians for World Harmony, Samite is fortunate to bring his message of peace to a wide audience. He performed his arrangement of the traditional Baganda song, Ani Oyo for The Dalai Lama in 2007 during Bridging Worlds with His Holiness The Dalia Lama in Ithaca, NY. In 2009 he performed at “Connecting For Change,” part of the 2009 Vancouver Peace Summit: Nobel Laureates in Dialogue, hosted by the Dalai Lama Center for Peace and Education.
In the fall of 2011, Samite performed and spoke at the UNHCR 60th Anniversary Celebration in New York City. More recently Samite collaborated with the filmmakers of “Alive Inside,” an award-winning documentary on the power of music to awaken the memories locked away in patients with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. This film and Samite’s subsequent place on Dr. Bill Thomas’ 2014 “Second Wind Tour,” have cemented the natural progression of the work that Samite does with Musicians for World Harmony. This direction, of an increased focus on working with seniors and dementia patients, evolved into a collaboration between MWH and Dr. Bill Thomas for his “Age of Disruption Tour” in 2016 and 2017. Samite and Musicians for World Harmony continue to bring the healing power of music into communities in upstate New York and around the country- working with young and old alike.
In the Spring of 2018, Samite finished recording his eleventh CD, Resilience -and it was released on September 14, 2018. He also completed two years of work with directors at Saint Joseph University on the theatrical performance of the same name which had its World Premiere on March 23, 2018 in Hartford, CT. Samite is now touring Lessons of Humanity and Resilience, his one-man theater performances and his compelling show, The Story of Mutoto, in which he connects the stories of his childhood in Uganda to his trips to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in western Uganda and the plight of the endangered Silverback Mountain Gorillas.

The Thanksgiving Play by Larissa Fasthorse
2024-11-22 19:00 - 21:00 | Field Arts & Events Hall – Donna M. Morris Theater, 201 W Front Street, Port Angeles, WA, 98362, United States
November 22 | Peninsula College Presents: The Thanksgiving Play by Larissa Fasthorse
TICKETS AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR: $20 GENERAL ADMISSION
The Thanksgiving Play by Larissa Fasthorse, the first Native American woman playwright to have her work on Broadway, is coming just in time for the holidays! November 15, 16, and 23rd at 7pm at Peninsula College and for-one-night-only at Field Arts & Events Hall on November 22nd. Tickets are available at the door at both locations: $20 for general admission and free to PC students on the PC campus.
Directed by Dr. Lara Starcevich with set/costume design by Marissa Meek, The Thanksgiving Play is NOT your usual children’s holiday play.

Larissa FastHorse is a Native American playwright and choreographer and, in 2023, she became the first known female Native American playwright produced on Broadway with The Thanksgiving Play at Second Stage’s Hayes Theater.
Director: Dr. Lara Starcevich
Designer: Marissa Meek
Filmmaker: Mark Schwartz

Space traveler Egon Tichy likes his quiet time.
But when his ship gets hit by a chunk of interstellar detritus, he’s sent careening into a minefield of time vortexes. This slapstick science-fiction adventure propels Sinking Ship and Theater in Quarantine into their most technically ambitious production to date, improbably trapping performer Joshua William Gelb amidst an exponentially expanding cast of one.
This is a live multi-media performance including both a live actor onstage and video overlay.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Sinking Ship Productions (www.sinkingshipproductions.com) a New York-based theater company, is the creative collaboration between Jonathan Levin and Josh Luxenberg. We work with a core group of Associate Artists, combining physical theater, puppetry, music and movement in delightful, strange and unexpected ways. Sinking Ship creates work that is the theatrical version of circumnavigating the globe in a questionably seaworthy vessel: grand and ridiculous, unadvisedly ambitious, and possibly delusional as we sail full tilt to the horizon.

JFFA & Field Hall In Harmony: Jesse Roper
2024-11-10 18:00 - 20:00 | Field Arts & Events Hall – Donna M. Morris Theater, 201 W Front Street, Port Angeles, WA, 98362, United States

JFFA & Field Hall IN HARMONY: Jesse Roper
Sunday, November 10 @ 1PM & 6PM | Donna M. Morris Theater
Tickets $25 – $50 Adult, $15 Youth CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS
Based in Victoria, BC, Jesse Roper is a blues/Americana artist with a penchant for writing modern indie-infused blues music and delivering bombastic live performances buoyed by his virtuosic guitar playing.
His innate and impressive musical talent has served him well, giving him the flexibility to play with soul icon Booker T. Jones, rock veteran Colin James, blues belter Beth Hart, and Canadian legend Burton Cummings. The stage is where Roper shines. It has been his home since overcoming crippling stage fright during his early twenties. Fear is a part of Roper’s past that barely seems real today – especially when you see the in-concert image of a six-string soldier, hair matted to his face, tearing up the stage, without a hint of second-guessing.
Jesse is a master at connecting his personal story and experiences to his songwriting – crafting narratives that hit on life’s challenges and eccentricities – but that remain upbeat, engaging and wildly entertaining songs.

Let’s raise a little hell this fall! Starring Tony-Nominee Jeremy Jordan and Olivier-Nominee Frances Mayli McCann, this cult-favorite Broadway musical re-tells the unbelievable true story of America’s most infamous couple, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. Captured in stunning, world-class quality, as they say “ain’t no way you won’t remember us.”
Filmed live at Theatre Royal Drury Lane during two special one-off concert stagings in January 2022, Bonnie & Clyde The Musical: Filmed Live features theatre royalty Jeremy Jordan as Clyde (The Great Gatsby, Waitress, Super Girl, Newsies, The Last Five Years) who originated the role of Clyde Barrow in the Broadway premiere of the production in 2011. He is joined by Frances Mayli McCann (Heathers, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour) who went on to originate the role of Bonnie in the West End.
Bonnie & Clyde The Musical is the story of two small-town kids from the middle of nowhere who became the biggest folk heroes in all America. They craved adventure – and each other. Fearless, shameless, and alluring, this is the electrifying story of love, adventure and crime that captured the attention of an entire nation.

ABOUT THE SHOW
Bonnie and Clyde The Musical: Filmed Live features music by multi-Grammy®, Tony® and Emmy® Award nominee Frank Wildhorn (Jekyll & Hyde, The Scarlett Pimpernell, Death Note), lyrics by Tony® and Oscar® winner Don Black (Sunset Boulevard, Aspects of Love), a book by Emmy® Award nominee Ivan Menchell (Blended [movie], The Cemetery Club, Death Note The Musical). Wildhorn, and Black were Tony-nominated for their score.
Producer David Treatman said: “For many, exposure to musical theatre begins at home or in school, and my hope is that worldwide audiences will bring Bonnie & Clyde into their auditoriums and living rooms.
“We were able to capture an extraordinary performance of this beloved show in an unusually vital way.

Let’s raise a little hell this fall! Starring Tony-Nominee Jeremy Jordan and Olivier-Nominee Frances Mayli McCann, this cult-favorite Broadway musical re-tells the unbelievable true story of America’s most infamous couple, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. Captured in stunning, world-class quality, as they say “ain’t no way you won’t remember us.”
Filmed live at Theatre Royal Drury Lane during two special one-off concert stagings in January 2022, Bonnie & Clyde The Musical: Filmed Live features theatre royalty Jeremy Jordan as Clyde (The Great Gatsby, Waitress, Super Girl, Newsies, The Last Five Years) who originated the role of Clyde Barrow in the Broadway premiere of the production in 2011. He is joined by Frances Mayli McCann (Heathers, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour) who went on to originate the role of Bonnie in the West End.
Bonnie & Clyde The Musical is the story of two small-town kids from the middle of nowhere who became the biggest folk heroes in all America. They craved adventure – and each other. Fearless, shameless, and alluring, this is the electrifying story of love, adventure and crime that captured the attention of an entire nation.

ABOUT THE SHOW
Bonnie and Clyde The Musical: Filmed Live features music by multi-Grammy®, Tony® and Emmy® Award nominee Frank Wildhorn (Jekyll & Hyde, The Scarlett Pimpernell, Death Note), lyrics by Tony® and Oscar® winner Don Black (Sunset Boulevard, Aspects of Love), a book by Emmy® Award nominee Ivan Menchell (Blended [movie], The Cemetery Club, Death Note The Musical). Wildhorn, and Black were Tony-nominated for their score.
Producer David Treatman said: “For many, exposure to musical theatre begins at home or in school, and my hope is that worldwide audiences will bring Bonnie & Clyde into their auditoriums and living rooms.
“We were able to capture an extraordinary performance of this beloved show in an unusually vital way. There is an electricity that courses through the performances that we were able to translate to the screen through the excellence of the artists involved at every level of the production, and an innovative approach to the taping. While nothing can replace the live experience, our film harnesses the power of cinema to capture its essence, preserving the energy of live performance while embracing the advantages of film, delivering both the danger and excitement of the stage alongside the intimacy and intention of the camera at a price that anyone can afford.”

Stillhouse Junkies
2024-09-06 19:30 - 21:00 | Field Arts & Events Hall – Donna M. Morris Theater, 201 W Front Street, Port Angeles, WA, 98362, United States
Field Hall Presents: Stillhouse Junkies
September 6 @ 7:30PM | Donna M. Morris Theater at Field Hall
Sunset Bar & Lounge opens at 5PM
Tickets $28 Adult, $15 Youth, CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS
Stillhouse Junkies, a charmed trio from the hills of Colorado, have offered up a hypnotic and high-energy form of roots music anchored in the freeflowing interplay among the three lifelong musicians (Fred Kosak on guitar and mandolin, Matt Thomas on upright bass, Alissa Wolf on fiddle). (Listen to Stillhouse Junkies on Spotify)
While they’ve gained major traction in the bluegrass world in recent years—including winning the IBMA Momentum Band of the Year award in 2021— Stillhouse Junkies ultimately inhabit a genre-blurring and subtly inventive sound informed by everything from blues to classical to Texas swing. When matched with their nuanced songcraft and soul-stirring harmonies, the result is a one-of-a-kind musical experience that immediately transports the listener into a more enchanted state of mind.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS (www.stillhousejunkies.com)
Founded not long after Kosak moved to Durango from his native New England, Stillhouse Junkies got their start playing a weekly residency at a local distillery and quickly drew a dedicated following on the strength of their unforgettable live show. Although all three members had established careers in other fields, they soon devoted themselves full-time to the band and delivered their debut album in 2018, then embarked on their first national tour the following year.
As they earned an evergrowing number of accolades, Stillhouse Junkies built up a repertoire of original songs by tapping into their eclectic sensibilities. Their third full-length and first release for Dark Shadow Recording, 2022’s Small Towns, perfectly encapsulates what makes their music so spellbinding, presenting a richly detailed selection of songs that often use the wildly colorful mythology of the American West to explore complex questions of the human heart.
With their fourth album due out in 2025, Stillhouse Junkies have now achieved such triumphs as touring in the UK and Europe and taking the stage at leading festivals like MerleFest and Grey Fox. Whether they’re performing at house concerts or playing to crowds of thousands, the band balances the dizzying intricacy of their musicality with plenty of freewheeling improvisation. And at the heart of their musical connection is an easy camaraderie made even more powerful by the intimacy of their lineup.
“There’s a cool dynamic to the trio that we’ve really embraced over the years,” Kosak points out. “We all believe that the triangle is the strongest shape.” “One of our favorite things we hear after shows is that we have such a big, full sound for just three people,” Wolf adds. “We always just try to bring a lot of joy to everything we do and give the audience something they can’t even describe. We want to leave them wondering, ‘Wow, what was that?’”

Reaching millions of record sales worldwide, Frankie continues to write and release new music consistently. Since April 2020 alone, Frankie reached and surpassed the #1 spot on the iTunes charts a record-setting 97 times with new singles, and in 2019 , made music history becoming the only Artist to 6 albums reach a Top-10 spot on the Billboard charts in a 12 month period.
Frankie’s collaboration with world-renowned violinist Joshua Bell produced At Home with Friends for Sony Records, reaching the #1 spot on Billboard. The album included Sting, Josh Groban, Chris Botti, Kristin Chenowith, And Regina Spektor. Frankie and Josh have since released Musical Gifts, which reached the #8 Billboard spot and featured Placido Domingo, Gloria Estefan, Allison Krauss, and Chick Corea.

FREE EVENT – Please click here to RSVP
Field Arts & Events Hall is excited to host a screening of the documentary SCREENAGERS and post-show First Fed Community Conversation surrounding the effects of screen time on kids. This event is presented in partnership with Port Angeles Heathy Youth Coalition with support from the Washington State Health Care Association and Prevention Works!
The Field Hall lower Pat Donlin Lobby and upstairs Sunset Lounge will open at 4:30PM on Tuesday, June 18th for a pre-show community showcase with our presenting partners. SCREENAGERS screening begins at 5:30PM in the Donna M. Morris Theater. Stay for a post-screening discussion in the theater. This event is free – please RSVP.
Are you watching kids scroll through life, with their rapid-fire thumbs and a six-second attention span? Physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston saw that with her own kids and learned that the average kid spends 6.5 hours a day looking at screens. She wondered about the impact of all this time and about the friction occurring in homes and schools around negotiating screen time—friction she knew all too well.
In SCREENAGERS, as with her award-winning documentaries on mental health, Delaney takes a deeply personal approach as she probes into the vulnerable corners of family life, including her own, to explore struggles over social media, video games, academics and internet addiction. Through poignant, and unexpectedly funny stories, along with surprising insights from authors, psychologists, and brain scientists, SCREENAGERS reveals how tech time impacts kids’ development and offers solutions on how adults can empower kids to best navigate the digital world and find balance.

Physician and filmmaker, Delaney Ruston decided to make SCREENAGERS when she found herself constantly struggling with her two kids about screen time. Ruston felt guilty and confused, not sure what limits were best, especially around mobile phones, social media, gaming, and how to monitor online homework. Hearing repeatedly how other parents were equally overwhelmed, she realized this is one of the biggest, unexplored parenting issues of our time.
As a director, Ruston turned the camera on her own family and others—revealing stories of messy struggles over social media, video games, academics and internet addiction. We meet Hannah, a 14-year old victim of social media bullying who struggled trying to hide her social media use from her mom. And Andrew, whose love of video games turned into an addiction taking him from earning straight A’s to flunking out of college.
Interwoven into these stories, are cutting edge science and insights from thought leaders Peggy Orenstein, Sherry Turkle, Simon Sinek, as well as leading brain scientists who present evidence on the real changes in the brain when kids are on screens. SCREENAGERS goes far beyond exposing the risks of screen time, it reveals multiple approaches on how parents and educators can work with kids to help them achieve a healthy amount of screen time.
Parents are encouraged to bring their kids to the movie. Learn more at www.screenagersmovie.com.
