Ham Radio, or Amateur Radio, allows people to communicate via radio over distances up to thousands of miles.

The fun of amateur radio is reaching out and meeting new people from all over the community or all over the world who often have similar interests.
The Winni Players Community Theatre is pleased to announce auditions for Thornton Wilder’s comedy, The Skin of Our Teeth, which will run as the first production of the 2019 season at the Winnipesaukee Playhouse. Wilder’s play revolves around George Antrobus, his wife, two children, and their maid, Lily Sabina; “the first family of the human race” who all clamor to survive a series of disasters. In stark contrast to Wilder’s, Our Town, The Skin of Our Teeth is a comedic allegory of durable but optimistic characters fighting to survive an ice age, a flood, and a war, all by the skin of their teeth. The audition is scheduled for Nov. 11 and 12 at 6 p.m. It is not necessary to attend both days of the audition; however, those wishing to participate should be available for all performances which are scheduled for Jan. 31 through Feb. 3, 2019. A full rehearsal and performance schedule is available online at winnipesaukeeplayhouse.org.
