With determination (and a bullhorn), retired professor Peter Michaels is on a mission to save the loons of Lake Winnipesaukee, who are dying in record numbers. Meanwhile, 19-year-old Sarah struggles to make ends meet by cleaning cabins. Over the course of a summer, the unlikely pair slowly builds trust across a generational divide, encouraging each other to shed the shadows of their pasts and honor those they cherish most. Our 38th season opens with a poignant charmer that ripples with humor and heart.

Let’s do the time warp and travel to 1973 for a retro coming-of-age comedy! You’ve heard of the Brady Bunch and the Partridge Family, now meet the wonderful and wacky O’Sheas: an upstanding Irish-Catholic family who can’t seem to escape comedic chaos. 19-year-old Linda O’Shea has been tasked by her frazzled mother to teach her little sister about the “birds and the bees”. But when the stern parish priest overhears, holy hell breaks loose! The O’Sheas must scramble to outwit the priest, confound a nosy neighbor, and discover that nothing is more sacred than family.
