With the Fourth of July falling smack dab in the middle of the upcoming week, it’s a relatively light schedule on the entertainment front. That said, Granite State of Mind, the popular live music series put on by NEC Concord, has begun its Concert in the Park Summer Series, with free shows at Memorial Field in Pembroke – not Concord – at 6 p.m. This summer’s lineup is as follows:
Saturday: Green Heron
July 21: Scalawag
Aug. 4: Dean Harlem
Aug. 18: Jen Whit
Now, on to the entertainment.

The seminal event in American history blazes to vivid life in this most unconventional of Broadway hits. 1776 puts a human face on the pages of history as we see the men behind the national icons: proud, frightened, uncertain, irritable, charming, often petty and ultimately noble figures, determined to do the right thing for a fledgling nation.
