Saturday, March 31st

Performing Arts Event: Enjoy a rock concert performance by all female groups from the Maine Academy of Modern Music following the screening of the film Girls Rock: The Movie, a film about a Rock ‘n’ Roll Camp, where girls ages 8 to 18 are taught that it’s OK to sweat like a pig, scream like a banshee, wail on their instruments with complete and utter abandon, and that “it is 100% okay to be exactly who you are.” What happens to the girls as they are given a temporary reprieve from being sexualized, analyzed, and pressured to conform is truly moving and revolutionary. Tickets are $10 for adults, students and youth under 18 attend for free. Click here to RSVP Location: Lee Auditorium and the Atrium, University of Southern Maine in Portland. 2:00pm – 4:00pm
