Set against the backdrop of 2025\, the film amplifies voices across generations — 5-year-olds\, college students\, and 90-year-old veterans—each grappling with what it means to belong and to build a life. \nThe documentary pulls back the curtain on today’s housing landscape\, asking urgent questions: Who owns the properties that feel increasingly out of reach? Where are these landlords based? And how has an entire generation been priced out of stability? \nInterwoven with this investigation is a moving tribute to three senior military veterans\, whose stories offer deeply personal and contrasting understandings of “home.” Spanning four generations\, Serfs Up invites viewers to reflect on ownership\, displacement\, and the enduring human need for a place to call their own.

Even the expansive “progressive bluegrass” label doesn’t come close to capturing their musical scope. \nIn a world that needs TLC more than ever\, Twisted Pine offers a night of exultant travels across genres\, across time\, to mountains\, cities\, roadhouses\, and back porches where songs bring tenderness\, love and relief. All in all\, this album and this tour bring the sound of a band that invites you to Love Your Mind. \nThis will be the group’s last show before they go on hiatus\, so don’t miss it! \nTwisted Pine Jam Session – 1 p.m.\nGrab your instrument and join members of Twisted Pine for a laid-back\, collaborative jam session! Whether you’re a seasoned player or just learning\, this is a fun\, informal chance to play together\, pick up a few tunes\, and explore the band’s rootsy\, genre-blending style. All are welcome—just come ready to make music and have a good time! Free and open to the public. Fill out this form to let us know you’ll be there! \nTickets $45 | K-12 students $17 | All fees included URL:/calendar/event/twisted-pine/ LOCATION:Minsky Recital Hall\, 91±¬ÁĎ\, Orono\, ME\, 04469\, United States CATEGORIES:Arts,Collins Center,Public Programs and Shows GEO:44.897732;-68.6687076 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Minsky Recital Hall 91±¬ÁĎ Orono ME 04469 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=91±¬ÁĎ:geo:-68.6687076,44.897732 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260228T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260228T213000 DTSTAMP:20260622T104006 CREATED:20260223T140435Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260223T142726Z UID:10006610-1772307000-1772314200@umaine.edu SUMMARY:The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical DESCRIPTION:A musical adaptation of a wildly popular series of books is coming to the Hauck Auditorium stage at the 91±¬ÁĎ! \nThe 91±¬ÁĎ School of Performing Arts Division of Theatre and Dance is proud to present “The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical” as their first production of Spring 2026!
