New Hampshire Unscripted talks with the performance arts movers and shakers
Time to show some love to a few venues that I somehow always manage to overlook in our WKXL NH Unscripted “What's Happening in the Entertainment Scene” segments. But, first stop is me showering kudos and love on Greg Gaskell's production of “Ye Merry Gentlemen” taking place at the Players Ring in Portsmouth. Then some deep admiration for Ernest Thompson for his kind and voluminous shoutouts to folks that he has worked with (it honestly caught me off guard). Then a tip of the hat to the various Christmas Carol productions about to take place around the state (humbly highlighting the version at Jean's Playhouse where I play Scrooge) and then off we go. The Tupelo Music Hall (The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band), Capitol Center for Arts (Cookies, Cocoa & Kindness) & (Stand By Me: The Film and Its Stars 40 yrs Later), Bank of NH Stage (Safe Haven Ballet Charlie Brown Christmas), Palace Theater (Nutcracker, Christmas Carol, Footloose, Cabaret) all get some NH Unscripted love.

The Washington Nationals have launched a bold organizational reset by handing the managerial job to 33-year-old Blake Butera and empowering new president of baseball operations Paul Toboni to reshape the franchise from the inside out. Butera's age isn't a flaw but a clear signal of the Nationals' direction. His background in the Rays' development-centric system makes him a natural fit for a young roster and a front office that values process, communication, and alignment. His emphasis on relationships, daily habits, and individualized growth suggests the Nationals want a manager who can turn prospects into core players and unite veterans and young talent under one message. At the same time, Toboni's structural overhaul is poised to redefine how the Nationals operate at every level of the organization. From staffing and analytics to scouting philosophy and development pipelines, his approach indicates deep, foundational change rather than superficial adjustments. The shared stage between Toboni and Butera during their introduction highlighted the unified strategy D.C. wants to build. For Nationals fans, the next 6 to 18 months will be the first real test of this new era, as coaching hires, roster moves, and the progress of key prospects reveal whether this cultural and developmental reset becomes the long-term engine that lifts the Washington Nationals back into contention.

Baseball may be a game of numbers, but Tampa Bay's Tropicana Field is a place of stories — and no one knows those stories better than Bruce Reynolds, longtime Rays "fan host" and author of "There Is No Place Like Dome." In this delightfully off-beat episode, we venture under the famously tattered fiberglass roof — currently undergoing repairs and slated to reopen next spring — to explore the quirks, characters, and quiet magic of a ballpark that has been loved, mocked, misunderstood, celebrated, and everything in between. Reynolds shares 16 seasons' worth of memories: the oddball fan encounters, dome-induced surprises, moments of chaos, moments of kindness, and the things that only happen at the Trop because — well, there's no place like it! We talk catwalks. We talk cowbells. We talk about the time the dome shook, the traditions that only insiders know, and why a stadium often dismissed as a "quirky relic" might actually be one of baseball's most human places. And yes — even as new ownership takes over, mulls a new stadium, and crews patch the roof to keep it safe for at least a few more seasons -- the "Trop" continues to charm in its imperfect, unforgettable way. Reynolds' passion is infectious, his stories heart-warming, and his perspective turns a stadium often criticized into a character all its own.

In this passage, Paul reminds believers that God calls each person to serve Him right where they are. Whether Jew or Gentile, slave or free, circumcised or uncircumcised—our value and purpose come not from our status, background, or circumstances, but from belonging to Christ. Paul urges the church not to chase identity in social change or comparison, but to live faithfully in the place where God has positioned them, using what they have for His glory and the good of others.This truth speaks directly into the work of Rays of Hope in Alexandra Township. God is at work through ordinary people in ordinary places, transforming lives through consistent presence, dignity, and love. Rays of Hope doesn't wait for “perfect conditions” or “ideal circumstances”—it steps into real communities with real challenges and reflects Christ's heart by empowering, uplifting, and walking alongside families and children right where they are.God places us intentionally. When we serve faithfully in the context He has given us—whether in Alexandra or in our own neighbourhoods—He turns everyday obedience into Kingdom impact.~~~Plan a visit to Rosebank Union Church in Sandton, Johannesburghttps://ruc.org.za/visit

In the 1980s, the tiny town of Arcadia, Florida, was “fifty miles and fifty years from Sarasota.” With its cowboy roots, low-wage agricultural industries, and violent frontier history, Arcadia was a curious mix of the desolate ranchlands of West Texas and the stately homes and bitter race relations of the South. In A Town without Pity, award-winning author Jason Vuic recounts two heartbreaking stories from Arcadia that rose to national prominence at the end of the Reagan era and forced the town to reckon with not only AIDS hysteria but also the legacies of a racist past. This book delves into the case of James Richardson, a Black migrant worker accused in 1967 of poisoning his seven children. Richardson spent twenty years in prison due to suppressed evidence for a crime he didn't commit. Vuic also tells the story of the public mistreatment of the three Ray brothers, white school-age children with hemophilia who contracted the HIV virus from a tainted medicine called factor VIII. The Rays were barred from attending their local church and school, and when their house burned down in a mysterious arson, reporters dubbed Arcadia the “town without pity.”Through extensive use of newspapers, court records, and interviews, Vuic shows how the actions of authorities and residents left little room for the voices that spoke up against bias, harassment, and coercion. At the same time, this cautionary tale places Arcadia as a microcosm of many small towns in the late twentieth-century United States, reminding readers of the staying power of social divisions and prejudice even after the achievements of the civil rights movement.
