The Players at Barker Theater present Henry & Roy
Monday, November 6, 2017 7pm
This powerful one-man show, written and acted by Charlie Sweigart, places us in 1415, 1944, and 2001 pointing to the relevancy between Shakespeare's commentary on war and a ninety-year old gunner/radioman's memories of
D-Day.

The Vermont-based folk duo has toured in Europe, Australia, and North America and now Weaver Library is thrilled to bring them to East Providence.

Butterfly: A One-Man Show about James Whistler
Monday, November 27, 2017 7pm
Massachusetts-based actor Stephen Collins will perform Butterfly by Carl A. Rossi, a one-man show about James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903). The play presents Whistler at two phases of his life: as a bankrupt artist in his 40s on commission in Venice and as an established, yet lonely, legend in his 60s. The end of the play gives clear insight into how the iconic painting of Whistler's mother came about. Collins is a classically-trained actor who has performed in unforgettable productions as Walt Whitman, Robert Frost and Shakespeare.

Weaver Library programs are free and open to all. No registration necessary unless otherwise noted.
