SUMMARY:Mad Science at the Castle
DESCRIPTION:Hands-on fun and experiments for curious minds. \nIt’s alive! That’s right\, science comes alive at the Castle as we host the Mad Scientist on March 7th for two fun & interactive programs for young scientists. \nMad Science offers a thrilling 50 to 60-minute live science spectacular where experiments erupt\, fog rolls across the room\, and science comes alive before your eyes. This fast-paced\, highly interactive program invites young scientists to join the Mad Scientist on stage\, answer animated questions\, and assist with jaw-dropping demonstrations that look like magic but are grounded in real science. Using an inquiry-based approach\, every experiment is explained in an engaging\, age-appropriate way that keeps kids curious\, laughing\, and learning. Expect foggy dry ice storms\, giant beach balls floating in midair\, sizzling and shivering scissors\, bubbling showers\, and dramatic Fire and Ice effects that never fail to amaze. \nKids will be encouraged to sit up front\, close to the stage\, with accompanying adults seated behind them. This arrangement helps ensure all children can see clearly and actively engage in the program. This program is ideal for ages 5 and up. It offers the opportunity for hands-on engagement and is designed to spark wonder\, encourage participation\, and leave kids buzzing with excitement long after the show ends.

SUMMARY:14th Annual Charles Olson Lecture
DESCRIPTION:In the 2026 Charles Olson Lecture\, James Cook will explore the ways that Gloucester has been a site of celebration\, interrogation\, explication\, negation\, and extension of Charles Olson’s work in the period from the near the end of the twentieth century (beginning with the Charles Olson Festival in August of 1995) through the first quarter of the twenty-first century. \nThe talk will highlight Gloucester as a nexus of activity where local and visiting writers\, artists\, and educators have engaged with Olson not to memorialize the man and the work but to find and question what “is of essential use.” In the talk\, Peter Anastas and Gerrit Lansing will figure prominently as guides\, beacons\, and exemplars who helped to create the conditions for a complex\, multi-faceted\, living engagement with Olson’s work. \nAs part of the program Amanda Cook\, author of Ironstone Whirlygig\, will read selections from her ongoing poem-by-poem response to The Maximus Poems\, much of which has appeared in the literary magazine SpoKe. David Rich\, author of Charles Olson: Letters Home (1949-1969)\, will provide context for Olson’s legacy in Gloucester and will participate in a Question & Answer session after the talk. \nJames Cook is an English teacher at Gloucester High School. He was a founding editor of the literary magazine Polis. His poems and essays have appeared in SpoKe\, Jacket2\, Let the Bucket Down\, Process\, and other small magazines. He has lectured on Olson previously\, most recently in a talk entitled “Harborside Civics Lessons: Gloucester Harbor in the Political Imagination of Gloucester Writers” delivered at the Jonathan Bayliss Society Conference in September of 2025. \nDavid Rich edited Charles Olson: Letters Home\, 1949-1969\, published by the Cape Ann Museum in 2010 in support of the Olson centenary. He has also lectured at the Cape Ann Museum on Olson\, Vincent Ferrini\, and Gloucester’s fishing history. \nAmanda Cook is sometimes in the water and sometimes underwater in Gloucester\, MA. She has been in a long conversation with Charles Olson for some time now. Her 2018 book Ironstone Whirlygig was published by Bootstrap Press. \nThe 14th annual Charles Olson Lecture is presented as a collaboration between the Cape Ann Museum and the Gloucester Writers’ Center.

SUMMARY:Nirvani - A Nirvana Tribute Experience with Foo!
DESCRIPTION:Nirvani is the most authentic and electrifying tribute band to the legendary grunge pioneers\, Nirvana. Known for their accurate recreation of the raw\, high-energy performances that made Kurt Cobain and company a cultural phenomenon\, Nirvani has been selling out venues across the country. From the iconic\, distorted guitar riffs to the anguished screams and rebellious spirit\, Nirvani brings the music of Nirvana to life in a way that feels as powerful and visceral as it did in the 90s. \nNirvani’s live shows are a high-octane journey through all the hits and deep cuts that defined Nirvana’s catalog. With a stage presence that channels the chaotic energy of the original band\, they deliver an unforgettable experience\, playing fan favorites like “Smells Like Teen Spirit\,” “Come As You Are\,” and “Heart-Shaped Box\,” alongside deeper tracks that true Nirvana fans will love. Their wild stage presence\, combined with instrument-smashing finales\, ensures no two shows are ever the same.
