SUMMARY:Friends Program: Dr. Susan Rogers - Individuality and the Music-Listening Brain
DESCRIPTION:Friends Program: Dr. Susan Rogers – “Individuality and the Music-Listening Brain”\nDr. Susan Rogers\, a behavioral neuroscientist and a former record producer and engineer known for her work with Prince\, will speak September 21 at the Needham library about the uniqueness of every music lover’s listening. She will describe the “listener profile\,” a constellation of mental sweet spots where music delivers the optimal award for each listener. \nDr. Rogers teaches for Berklee College of Music Online and is the author of This Is What It Sounds Like: What the Music You Love Says About You\, published by W. W. Norton & Company in 2021. She holds a doctorate in psychology from McGill University\, where she studied music cognition and psychoacoustics. Her research focuses on auditory memory\, the perception of musical signals\, and the influence of musical training on auditory development. \nFor two decades prior to her science career\, Rogers was one of the world’s few women known for her work as a record producer\, engineer\, mixer\, and audio electronics technician. Career highlights include years (1983–1988) as staff engineer for recording artist Prince. \nThis Program is sponsored by the Friends of the Needham Public Library. Registration is required\, as we have a current capacity limit of 108.

SUMMARY:Seth’s Broadway Concert Series
DESCRIPTION:This show is SOLD OUT! There are still a limited number of Season Subscriptions available.\nSirius XM radio host Seth Rudetsky is bringing his Broadway concert series to The Great Hall Performance Foundation! Rudetsky is teaming up with Tony Award nominee Andrea McArdle who became world famous at the age of 13 when she created the title role in Annie. This one-night-only special-event concert that will be filled with intimate\, funny\, behind-the-scenes stories mixed with incredible performances of the songs McArdle has performed on Broadway and beyond. \nThe set list will have McArdle recreating show-stopping performances from her unique theatrical career which included singing the beautiful “It Might As Well Be Spring” in State Fair\, the title song from Beauty And The Beast in which she starred as Belle\, and “I Dreamed A Dream” from when she played Fantine in Les Misérables on Broadway where Seth and Andrea first worked together. \nPlus they’ll be doing some classic songs that Andrea first sang when she starred as the young Judy Garland in the TV film Rainbow. \nSeth’s Broadway Concerts are always one-of-a-kind because they’re never fully planned in advance. Rudetsky will definitely have McArdle singing songs from shows he feels she should be starring in like Mame and Hello\, Dolly\, but he often surprises his stars and “makes” them sing songs they’ve never performed before. Who knows what will happen at the performance you attend! \nThis spontaneous evening of show-stopping stories and hit songs will also feature McArdle singing the songs she made famous in the Tony Award winning Best Musical Annie. If you grew up loving “The Red Album” as Seth calls it and you enjoy amazing musicians and sassy comedy\, come see this one-night-only event! \nFind out More about the 2025 Great Hall Consert Series.

SUMMARY:Needham Community Theatre: Little Women
DESCRIPTION:This timeless and enduring play tells the tale of the March sisters’ journey from childhood to maturity during the American Civil War.  Audiences of all generations will enjoy acquainting — or reacquainting — themselves with the sisters:  Meg\, the eldest; Jo\, the high-spirited tomboy; Amy\, the self-centered beauty; and gentle Beth\, as well as their beloved Marmee and Father.  Together the March family learns to endure both good times and bad as they share the joys and pains of growing up.  Interlaced with warmth\, family loyalty\, and traditional values\, all these important events provide us with a better understanding of our own lives.  Penned by Louisa May Alcott 140 years ago\, this much-loved classic tale’s message is still relevant for us today. \nFor more information\, or to buy tickets\, visit needhamtheatre.org
