In a society increasingly divided and isolated, storytelling can bring us together. Story Jam is a bi-monthly story circle where community members can meet to get to know each other through personal stories. All members of the Upper Valley community are invited to join the circle and share an unrehearsed 5-minute true story from their own life. No competition, no judgment, no lecturing, no ranting… Just share a story about something that happened to you and listen to other people’s stories. Whether you are a new or seasoned storyteller; whether you are shy or extroverted – all are welcome! The moderators will keep track of time to make sure everyone has a chance to speak.

JAM’s Pride Prom returns for a 5th year in a row!
If this were an actual high school, you all probably should’ve graduated by now. Once again there will be live bands, dancing, photos, LGBTQIA+, and whatever else is supposed to be at a prom. Whether you were cheer captain or on the bleachers, come with friends, a date, or by yourself. $5-20 recommended donation cash or venmo at doors, all ages and identities welcome.
THEME: Classic 80’s Prom! We’re returning to our (crimped) roots so tease up that hair and break out those timeless powder blue tuxedos. We will elect gender neutral prom royalty for best lewks of the night and award prizes generously donated by our sponsors.
LIVE MUSIC BY: NanaUpsideDown, Vallory Falls, and Burly Girlies!
Please note that in order to create a welcoming and inclusive space for our under age and sober adult queer community members, this year’s Pride Prom is substance free and we ask that you do not smoke or consume alcohol inside of JAM. Reentry will be allowed and you can always visit WRJ’s totally tubular, local restaurants and bars for a bite to eat and a quick bevy (if you’re of age and that’s your thing) between sets!

AN ARTIST RESPONDS TO WAR - Screening + Discussion
2026-06-28 18:00 - 21:00 | Briggs Opera House, 5 S Main St, White River Junction, VT, 05001, United States
Join us for a film and post-screening discussion between filmmaker Robbie Leppzer and Mohsen Mahdawi (Palestinian human rights advocate) this Sunday, June 28!
AN ARTIST RESPONDS TO WAR, a new 45-minute film directed by Vermont filmmaker Robbie Leppzer, provides an intimate look at Peter Schumann, the visionary founder of Bread & Puppet Theater, whose six decades of radical political performance have been forged from a single, searing childhood question: how do we as humans respond to the madness of war and violence? Born in Nazi Germany and shaped by the brutal reality of war he experienced as a child, Schumann channeled this trauma into one of the most iconic theater companies in the world. Bread & Puppet came of age in the Vietnam War street protests of 1960s New York, and grew into its full form with large-scale spectacles performed at their farm in Vermont.
Decades later, as atrocities unfold in Gaza in plain sight, Schumann — now 91 and still working with fierce urgency — finds his life’s central question more pressing than ever. In an age desperate for hopeful figures of cultural resistance, AN ARTIST RESPONDS TO WAR is a testament to the radical, enduring idea that art is not a retreat from the world — it is a way of fighting for it.
TICKETS: $15 advance / $20 at door (No one will be turned away for lack of funds)
