19th Annual Juried Show Reception
A juried art show is organized in a time-honored way. An independent juror is chosen because of their involvement in the visual arts—either as a working artist, a gallery or museum curator, an art teacher, or all of the above. The juror is paid to select from submitted artwork, the pieces they think are the strongest. Inevitably, some submitted pieces are rejected. The local gallery committee has no input in selection or awards, and the juror’s decisions are final.

Almost, Maine Play Reading
Join us at the Edge Center for the Arts Theatre for a play reading. Almost, Maine is a 2004 American play written by John Cariani, comprising of nine short scenes that explore love and loss in a remote, mythical almost-town called Almost, Maine.
What is a play reading?
The EdgeWild Players invite anyone in our community to join.
Think book club, but with scripts and aloud together!
No pressure to "perform" on stage in front of others. Just reading to hear the characters and stage directions come to life and get our brains imagining what it COULD look like as a full production.
Join us at 6pm as an active or passive participant. It is FREE to attend. This is not a performance and there will be no audience.
Scripts are available to borrow from the Edge office to read ahead of time, but this is not required.

1 p.m. performance in City Hall – upper level
2:30 p.m. movement class in City Hall – upper level (geared for all ages, all ability level: instructors will be available to lead standing and seated movement class)
