September 17-20 and 24-26: 12 Angry Men

Director: Dr. Dorothea Handron

It is 1957, and twelve men have been led into a jury room to decide the verdict in the case of a young man accused of killing his father and who faces the death penalty if found guilty. They gather around a long table to begin discussions about the case. After a preliminary vote, all but one of the jurors presume he is guilty. Because they must come to a unanimous decision, debates begin. Most of the men are upset and very vocal about the dissenting vote. They heatedly discuss the known facts of the case, and little by little, the personalities, opinions, and biases of each juror become evident. A gripping story that questions ideas of justice, bias, and how our lives shape our beliefs.

Come Again is a social respite program where people in early to middle stages of dementia spend time with trusted, trained volunteers in a safe, judgment-free space. We aim to bring joy, friendship, and purpose to everyone while giving care partners a chance to rest. Activities include fellowship, music, art, movement, and service projects, plus a hot lunch. Starting May 1, Come Again meets every Thursday from 10 am to 2 pm at Trinity United Methodist Church, 2311 Elizabeth Ave. There is a small fee to attend. Come Again honors our loved ones living with dementia by lifting up their remaining strengths in a supportive, creative and purposeful way. For more information about joining Come Again or volunteering, contact director Lindsay Roberts at lindsayroberts@newbernrespite.org, 919.428.0618 or www.newbernrespite.org.

Please join us in dedicating and celebrating this incredible sculpture–The Art of Crafting Lives–that honors the lives, work, and legacies of Black artisans in New Bern from 1770 to 1900. You can learn more by visiting our page on The Art of Crafting Lives sculpture.

The ceremony will begin with a short, outside dedication and ribbon-cutting at the sculpture in Wilson Park, located at the corner of S. Front and Craven Streets, to celebrate the completion of this project.

Immediately following, we will hold a lunch reception at the North Carolina History Center, located at 529 S. Front St., where we will hear from the project team and artists while we gather in fellowship to commemorate those whom this sculpture honors.

To ensure we have enough refreshments for everyone, your RSVP is required for attendance to the reception at Mattocks Hall in the North Carolina History Center.
