Celebrate the publication of North of Main with Hub City Writers Project! Join Hub City Writers Project to celebrate the publication of North of Main: Spartanburg's Historic Black Neighborhoods of North Dean Street, Gas Bottom, and Back of the College. Residents of each of the neighborhoods featured in the book will be signing copies of the book from 5pm to 6pm. There will be a 30 minute panel with the authors, as well as members of the neighborhoods, moderated by Dr. Glory Boozer. Books will be available for purchase at the event. About the BookNorth of Main: Spartanburg's Historic Black Neighborhoods of North Dean Street, Gas Bottom, and Back of the Collegeis the most in-depth Spartanburg Black history book ever produced, particularly for the years post-emancipation. This beautiful 300-page hardcover book also includes over 150 historic photographs and maps. New neighborhoods began emerging north of Main Street in Spartanburg, South Carolina in the 1870s as emancipated Black men and women spent their hard-won post-slavery wages to purchase lots and build homes. As the decades rolled by, they and their descendants established a string of neighborhoods encompassing hundreds of houses, stretching from modern-day Barnet Park to the edge of Spartanburg Medical Center. North of Main is the story of how this district rose and how it disappeared. In its pages, meet the pioneering Black men and women who lived and worked in these early neighborhoods: clergymen, educators, newsmen, artisans, attorneys, physicians, activists, musicians, caregivers, and more. In the face of frequent oppression, they laid a strong foundation for those who followed them. The history of the place they built is extraordinary in its demonstration of the heroism, courage, determination, and pride of Black citizens of Spartanburg who built dynamic and historically significant neighborhoods in treacherous times. North of Main is a sequel to the classic 2005 Hub City Press book, South of Main. Major sponsors include the City of Spartanburg, the Spartanburg Public Libraries, and Wofford College.

Shakespeare is the story of Shakespeare as it has never been told before: in a single play that covers his entire life, from childhood to death. Remarkably (but truly), there has never been a biographical play, or biodrama, that tells the whole story of the greatest playwright who ever lived. Until now… Shakespeare captured the essential truth about humanity, so it is perhaps unsurprising that his own life should resemble one of his plays, or more accurately a series of plays: Comedy, in which he and his fellow players steal a theatre; History, in which they become involved, unwittingly or otherwise, in a plot to overthrow the Queen, Elizabeth I; and, finally, Tragedy, in which he faces a long-overdue reckoning with his past. Shakespeare is a lifetime’s labour of love by playwright Martin Keady; the culmination of more than 30 years of study and research. It has already been performed at The Rose Theatre in London, on the remains of an Elizabethan theatre in which Shakespeare himself performed, and the aim in 2025 is that it will receive both its first full stage production and an audio/podcast recording, ideally in The Rose or another Elizabethan theatre. Freshfest 2025 has a series of play readings and that is completely in keeping with Shakespeare’s world, which was more verbal and auditory than ours; Elizabethans went to hear a play, not see it. Consequently, we hope that you enjoy hearing Shakespeare. For more information, please visit: https://theshakespeareplays.com Information Source: FreshFest 2025 | eventbrite

But when 'keen-to-crack-on' Claire invites a colleague round to assess his credentials as a potential sperm donor, Zara's horror at his unexpected arrival catapults the night into a terrible spiral. Suddenly forced to confront the reality of what a family means to them, they soon discover the lengths, however violent, they'll go to in order to get one. A dark comedy set over the course of one night, five characters grapple with the notion of 'family'. But as their values collide, their realities shatter.
