Multi-Arts: Time Traveling Stories on March 24
Join Multi-Arts on a time traveling theatrical adventure!
This latest installment of Time Traveling
Stories takes us on a journey to the 1840’s! When young Justine is sent
back in time, she meets Angeline Palmer, a brave African American girl who was
saved from slavery with the help of the town. Learn the true story of Angeline
and discover the roots of what makes Amherst such a unique place: our
avant-garde spirit, celebration of differences, and ability to come together as
a community to stand up for human rights.
The new play is written by Maia Kinney-Petrucha, an Amherst
High School and Hampshire College Alum, and features fellow Amherst High alum
Haley Parker, and Wildwood Elementary students Violent and Lena Ennis.
Come hear a staged reading of the script at Barnes and Noble
in Hadley on March 24th at 2 pm! This program is supported in part by a grant from the
Hadley, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state
agency.

Multi-Arts Presents "Time traveling Stories: Amherst Secrets, a Woman Revealed" on November 2
Multi-Arts Presents "Time traveling Stories: Amherst Secrets, a Woman Revealed" as part of Amherst Arts Plus.
Strong House, 67 Amity Street in Amherst
Free admission but donations welcome
Free admission but donations welcome
Synopsis: Winnie is a young artistic teen, who just moved to Amherst from Boston. When she goes to the Amherst Historic Museum to get help with a school project, she’s sent back in time to the 1880’s! There she meets Mabel Loomis Todd, a multi-talented woman with a knack for creativity. Together, the two grow to love their town in ways they couldn’t have imagined. Winnie helps Mabel as a letter deliverer, connecting her with notables all over Amherst—including the legendary Emily Dickinson. Mabel helps Winnie to see she can do anything she sets her mind to, and that, despite her initial dislike of the town, Amherst may just be the most inspirational place of all.
About the actors:
Haley Parker: Muhlenberg Alum, theater and voice major
Margo Kinney-Petrucha: Student at Hampshire College, studying animation
Gabe Sklan: Student at Hampshire College, studying comedy
Josh Gold: multi arts teacher and mime performer
Eliot Phifer and Sonia Aldrich are Multi-Arts's children.
Amherst Arts Night Plus is a free cultural event held in and around downtown Amherst, MA. Each first Thursday of every month, from 5-8PM, participating venues host gallery openings, concerts, lectures, and other creative events.
Multi-Arts fills a vital need, a void in our community with its well-rounded, age-targeted programming that inspires new generations to explore their creativity, and develop a lifelong love of the arts.
Comment from our last performance:
"Saw your production. Bravo to you and Maia Kinney Petrucha. Great story, great acting (and singing). I was spellbound by this youthful cast ... “
Amherst High School Alumnae Maia Kinney-Petrucha (2013), Haley Parker (2013), and Margo Kinney-Petrucha (2016) will be part of an exciting Multi-Arts production: “Time Traveling Stories” , about the history of an inspirational Amherst woman, Mabel Loomis Todd.
While at ARHS, all three were involved in the performing arts department. They were part of the Amherst Hurricane Singers, as well as actors and production members in ARHS theater productions.
