SUMMARY:National Theater Live Broadcast – The Audience
DESCRIPTION:Returning to cinemas for the first time in over a decade\, Helen Mirren plays Queen Elizabeth II in the Olivier and Tony Award®-winning hit production\, directed by Stephen Daldry. \nFor 60 years\, Queen Elizabeth II met with each of her 12 prime ministers in a private weekly meeting. This meeting is known as The Audience. From Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron\, the Queen advised her prime ministers on matters both public and personal. Through these private audiences\, we see glimpses of the woman behind the crown and witness the moments that shaped a monarch. \nPeter Morgan’s Netflix phenomenon The Crown was based on this hit play which was captured live from London’s West End in 2013 and went on to become one of the most-watched NT Live productions. \nAdult $18 | Senior $13 | Student $11 | All fees included

In the end\, the film turns to human perception\, inviting viewers to reflect on how we choose to spend our time.\n\n\nTickets for planetarium programs are $9 for Adults\, $8 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $7 for children under 12.

SUMMARY:Gravity and Other Myths
DESCRIPTION:Everybody is a master of something. \nBlink\, step\, jump\, balance\, flip\, fly. \nThis is an ode to the countless hours needed to achieve great things. \nA tribute to the dedication required to realise our physical ambitions. \nAn acknowledgement of the backstory that is often more spectacular than the finished product. \nEight world class acrobats investigate physical skill; how we obtain it\, how we perfect it\, and how it can transform our lives. Through highlighting the nuance of high-level acrobatics\, audiences experience a heightened appreciation of the countless hours required to master the skills they are witnessing. \nThis is a love letter to our bodies and the amazing things they let us do every day. \nThis is an invitation to watch us work. \n“Once again gravity and other myths bring shock\, awe\, and delight.”\n– Glam Adelaide \n“Jaw-dropping”\n– The AU review \n“Regular gasps and squeals of disbelief from the audience members behind me\, and spontaneous applause from the audience throughout\, reassure me that it is not just me who thinks some of the skills on display are unbelievable. This is an almost mind blowing level of skill on display and what can be achieved with a dedicated pursuit of perfection.”\n– The Clothesline \n“The performance is a showcase of this company’s talent that extends way beyond acrobatics\, into visual storytelling\, movement\, and contemporary dance.”\n– Stage Whispers \n“I would give this 10 stars if I could. An absolutely mind blowing show from this home grown Adelaide company.”\n– Kids In Adelaide \n$42-$62\, Students at UMaine and UMaine Machias are eligible to receive one free ticket for this show. Faculty & Staff can receive 20% off their ticket price. Tickets are non-transferable.

DESCRIPTION:On a cosmic scale\, time ceases to be a single\, universal measure. TIME is an immersive journey through the nature of time – from daily rhythms of nature to its role in the structure of the Universe. It follows humanity’s attempts to measure time and explores modern physics\, where relativity\, entropy\, and spacetime challenge our intuitive understanding of the present. In the end\, the film turns to human perception\, inviting viewers to reflect on how we choose to spend our time.\n\n\nTickets for planetarium programs are $9 for Adults\, $8 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $7 for children under 12.

SUMMARY:Food Safety Webinar Series: Environmental Air Treatment
DESCRIPTION:The UMaine Extension Food Safety Webinar Series is a monthly\, expert-led educational series focused on practical food safety\, regulatory compliance\, and product innovation across the food system. Sessions cover topics such as electronic record-keeping\, workforce training\, chemical safety\, food adulteration prevention\, seafood pathogen detection\, audit readiness\, product development\, environmental air quality\, and alternative protein innovations. The series is designed for food producers\, processors\, seafood businesses\, entrepreneurs\, quality assurance staff\, extension educators\, students\, faculty\, regulatory professionals\, and technical specialists\, with particular relevance for those working with food safety training\, compliance systems\, seafood hazards\, product development\, and emerging technologies in food processing. \nFood businesses and professionals face increasing regulatory expectations\, evolving hazards\, and rapid technological change. By addressing real-world topics such as digital compliance systems\, chemical handling\, adulteration prevention\, seafood pathogen detection\, and audit preparation\, the series helps participants stay current and make informed\, practical decisions. Participants will gain practical tools\, real-world case studies\, and actionable strategies related to training programs\, compliance documentation\, safe chemical use\, adulteration prevention\, seafood safety\, product innovation\, and environmental controls—knowledge they can immediately apply in their operations\, classrooms\, or regulatory work. \nEnvironmental Air Treatment\nThis webinar will address the importance of air quality control in food processing\, manufacturing\, and storage environments. Attendees will learn about common airborne contaminants such as pathogens\, dust\, allergens\, and volatile organic compounds\, and how they can compromise product safety and shelf life. The session will cover key engineering and operational controls\, including HVAC system design\, filtration technologies (e.g.\, HEPA\, carbon filters)\, and air flow management. We will also discuss regulatory expectations\, monitoring methods\, and how to implement an effective environmental air program to meet standards such as those required for GMP\, FSMA\, and certification audits. \nTo Register and Receive Webinar Zoom Link
