Bedford Public Library

Approximately 11,000 women served in the U.S. military during the Vietnam War, and of those about 5,000 were on active duty in Vietnam itself. Barred from direct ground combat until 2013, military women at the time served in health care, communications, intelligence, administrative positions, and more. Many, like the protagonist of popular historical fiction novel "The Women," were nurses. They also served in civilian roles, such as the flight attendants who helped carry people, medical supplies, and ordinance into war zones.&nbsp;
Leah Dearborn, associate director of the Aviation Museum of New Hampshire, will present on the myriad ways women from the Granite State contributed to and were impacted by the war in Vietnam.&nbsp;Registration is required, but is open to all.&nbsp; Please visit the link or call (603) 472-2300 to reserve a spot.

“Majestic Theatre to present Of Mice and Men on June 19 – 21”

In this powerful tragedy, John Steinbeck’s stage adaptation of his classic novel, explores the friendship between two migrant workers, affable George and mentally challenged Lennie, and their dream of owning a farm.
Two drifters, George and his friend Lennie, with delusions of living off the “fat of the land,” have just arrived at a ranch to work for enough money to buy their own place. Lennie is a little boy in the body of a dangerously powerful man. Lennie’s obsessions with things soft and cuddly have made George cautious about with whom the gentle giant, with his brute strength, associates. His promise to allow Lennie to “tend to the rabbits” on their future land keeps Lennie calm, as the two men work towards their dream. But when a ranch boss’s promiscuous wife is found dead in the barn with a broken neck, George knows that Lennie killed her. Now worried about his own safety, George finds Lennie in his favorite hiding spot. Realizing they can no longer run away, George is faced with a moral question: How should he deal with Lennie before the ranchers find him and take matters into their own hands?
Majestic’s production is directed by Dr. Alan Kaplan, assisted by Aimee Baker and stars: Jeff Cznark, Sean Damboise, Jordan Gagan, Declan Lynch, Mike McKinnon, Benjamin Neff, Allison Sjolund, Keisha Venson, Dusty Wood, and John Wood. 
This show is not recommended for children under the age of 17. Please visit our website or call our box office for a content warning.
Of Mice and Men runs on Friday June 19 at 7pm, Saturday, June 20 at 2pm and 7pm and Sunday, June 21 at 2pm. Performances will be held at The Majestic Theatre Studios located at 880 Page Street, Manchester, NH. Tickets are $20 for adults and $17 for seniors 65 and above, and $15 youth 17 and under.
