Nov. 9, Saturday, 7:00 p.m., “A Place At the Table,” directors Kristi Jacobson and Lori Silverbush examine the issue of food insecurity through the lens of three people who are: Barbie, a single Philadelphia mother who grew up in poverty and is trying to provide a better life for her two kids; Rosie, a Colorado fifth-grader who often has to depend on friends and neighbors to feed her and has trouble concentrating in school; and Tremonica, a Mississippi second-grader whose asthma and health issues are exacerbated by the largely empty calories her hardworking mother can afford. Free and open to the public, Husson University, 1 Husson Circle, Bangor. FMI: 207-941-7000, www.husson.edu.
Nov. 11-13, Monday-Wednesday, 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., “From the Shadows,” features works by Los Angeles-based Susan Burnstine and Manhattan-based Lynn Saville. In these black and white images, both photographers capture mostly urban landscapes heightened with a sense of mystery and drama. Burnstine constructs handmade cameras and lenses to depict dreamlike places and moments in time. The hazy distortion suggests the locations are imprinted with memories or lying on the edge of consciousness. Saville explores night’s seductive essence in a series of photographs shot in Paris, Venice and New York City. In Staten Island Ferry, the vessel becomes a lone apparition on the river while in The Flatiron Building the buildings are a darkened triangular mass defined by the glow of street and automobile lights. Free and open to the public, University of Maine Museum of Art, 40 Harlow Street, Bangor. FMI: 207-561-3350, www.unma.umaine.edu.
Nov. 13, Wednesday, 6:00 p.m., “The Night Show with Danny Cashman,” “This is an amazing opportunity for us,” said Nite Show host Danny Cashman. “We have never done our show in a venue as big as the Bangor Opera House. It will be a new challenge for us. We have some great guests set to join the fun, and we’re excited to see what we can do in a big, historic building, which is possibly even haunted. With any luck, we will make the ghosts laugh along with the audience, and everyone will have a good time.” They will be taping three shows. For the special taping, “The Nite Show” is bringing a fairly impressive guest list together for one night. Cashman will welcome Noel Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul, and Mary fame; comedian George Hamm; and Rustic Overtones will perform a few songs from their latest album “Let’s Start a Cult 2,” which will be released on Nov. 26. In addition, “The Nite Show” will be celebrating and honoring the 40th season of Penobscot Theatre Company. Open to the public, Bangor Opera House, 131 Maine Street, Bangor. FMI: 207-942-3333, www.bangoroperahouse.org.
