New project, new publication. You’re invited!

Perpetual Imagination recently teamed up with Quabbin Quills, a non-profit organization in the North Quabbin area of Massachusetts. Our goal is to work with local writers on writing workshops and develop a curriculum for local authors to participate with others in bringing their work to the best level. We then edited the result together to form our first anthology for Quabbin Quills, Time’s Reservoir.

You can purchase a hard copy or Kindle edition of the anthology at Amazon. There is an upcoming opportunity to attend an event featuring readings from the authors of the anthology and speeches by the founders of the Quabbin Quills, Steve Piscitello and Garrett Zecker. The event will take place on January 30, 2018 from 6:30-8:00 PM at Athol Public Library in Athol, Massachusetts. Refreshments will be provided by the Friends of the Athol Public Library, and a limited number of books will be available for purchase at a discounted rate of $15 at the door. A purchase is not necessary to attend the event.

This anthology is the first in a series, and future anthologies and updates will now be available in the “publications” section above under “Quabbin Quills”.

Shakespeare in the Park 2016 Design Rollout

Once again, Perpetual Imagination was given the honor to create the entire promotional and social media rollout for Actors’ Circle Theatre‘s ninth annual Shakespeare in the Park.

This year, the company presents A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Depot Square in Peterborough, New Hampshire on August 6, 7, 13, and 14 at 5PM. The director is setting the stage in modern “Athens,” a doppleganger for Peterborough itself. The production will feature modern dress and play with technology in the program, and the designs were meant to evoke a millenial, technology-driven sensibility. Selfie-sticks abound in our designs, and we are very proud to present the theater’s visual representation and manage their social media campaigns over the summer of 2016.

A New Cover and Upcoming Dates

Two great

The cover for Solomon Deep’s Elements has gotten a facelift!  The first edition of the ten year anniversary edition of Elements reflected the same design as the original independently released cover ten years ago, which was originally letterpressed onto watercolor cardstock.  Today, we have updated the second edition cover to reflect a much more contemporary design as well as chapter headers that are energizing and unique.  This cover update reflects both the print and Kindle editions.

We are also excited to announce that Actors’ Circle Theatre, the local production company sponsoring our current FortNight tour, are releasing videos of the new performance cast leading up to the live performances in May.  These videos are being released daily, and are an exciting introduction into the program.  So far, these short interview films have featured songs from the show and actors Nicholas Marques (who plays Barry Waters) and Dan Carberg (who plays Myers Penman).

To stay up to date with Actors Circle Theatre videos as they are released prior to the show, visit the ACT YouTube page.  For more information and to purchase tickets, visit Actors Circle Theatre at http://www.actorscircletheatre.org
