Summer Thursdays 2025
Kick off your summer at LIM! Join us for select Thursday evenings this summer for unique ways to experience LIM after hours for FREE. All events are set to take place outdoors on the museum’s grounds, but will move indoors in case of inclement weather.
June 26 at 5:30 pm – Jane Austen’s Emma
Performed by EastLine Theatre
Bring a picnic and celebrate Jane Austen‘s 250th year with EastLine Theatre’s production of Emma. Emma Woodhouse is clever, educated, and energetic…and in imminent danger of going mad with idleness. In a time when respectable ladies are expected to sit quietly at home, she desperately needs projects—and prides herself on matchmaking. But where Emma’s considerable energies focus, screwball comedy ensues.
July 17 at 5:30 pm – Old-Timey Fun
With Music, Games & Crafts!
Step back in time with an evening of outdoor fun including guitar & fiddle music with Johnny Cuomo and Brian Chabza. Play historic outdoor games and make your own game of Graces to play at home. Also, join Beet from HeartBeet Farms to plant your favorite veggie & sunflower seeds and provide tips on how to help them grow!
August 14 at 5:30 pm – Gene Casey and Friends
With Brian Chabza and Pete Crugnale
Grab the family, pack a picnic, and don’t forget your dancing shoes! Enjoy a toe-tapping evening with Gene Casey, featuring Brian Chabza on violin and Pete Crugnale on bass. Get ready for a cool mix of country, honky tonk, blues, ballads, and both classic and original tunes.
