Family Movie Matinee: Captain Underpants
Saturday September 23 at 10:30 AM


George Beard and Harold Hutchins are two overly imaginative pranksters who spend hours in a treehouse creating comic books. When their mean principal threatens to separate them into different classes, the mischievous boys accidentally hypnotize him into thinking that he's a ridiculously enthusiastic, incredibly dimwitted superhero named Captain Underpants.

Based on the wildly popular kids' books, this movie will be sure to entertain the whole family.

Rated PG
1 hour 29 mins

Friends' Program: Hangings, Witches and Strangers
Tuesday October 10 at 7PM


Retired Portsmouth police chief David (Lou) Ferland tells us about facts and fiction before the Salem witches trials, how crime evolved in the New Hampshire area and what forms of punishment developed.  Men, women and children faced expulsion from their town for crimes as minor as theft. 

 Most New Englanders have likely heard of the Salem Witch Trials – a particularly notorious episode in colonial Massachusetts that resulted in the executions of 20 people for suspected witchcraft in 1692 and 1693. Less widely known is that over three decades earlier, Portsmouth, N.H. had its own witch hunt chapter.
