Booked at the Bell With Regina Marinelli
Join us at the Book Club at the Bell for an unforgettable discussion of a compelling and thought-provoking work of historical fiction:
Everything Sad Is Untrue by Daniel Nayeri
Join us on October 8 for a discussion of Everything Sad Is Untrue, Daniel Nayeri’s sprawling, evocative, and groundbreaking autobiographical novel.
Told in the unforgettable, often hilarious voice of a young Iranian refugee, the book weaves together family, history, memory, identity, and the experience of starting over in a new country. At its heart are powerful questions about storytelling and truth: Who owns the truth? Who speaks it? Who believes it?
Thought-provoking, moving, and filled with both humor and heart, Everything Sad Is Untrue offers plenty to talk about. Join us at the Bell Tower for an engaging conversation about family, resilience, belonging, and the stories that shape who we are.
Please consider supporting independent book shops, such as Book & Puppet Co. in Easton.

Saturday Night at the Movies
In an age when families often watch entertainment separately, Bell Tower Cultural Center's Saturday Night at the Movies brings people back together for an evening of shared experiences, meaningful storytelling, and community connection.
Our October feature, For Love of the Game, perfectly captures the spirit of the series. While baseball provides the backdrop, the film is really about life, love, memory, sacrifice, and the choices that define us. Starring Kevin Costner, this thoughtful and emotionally rich story follows veteran pitcher Billy Chapel as he reflects on his career, relationships, dreams, and regrets during what may be the most important game of his life.
Like all films selected for this series, For Love of the Game goes far beyond sports. It reminds us that life's most meaningful moments are often found not in championships or accolades, but in the people we love and the memories we create along the way. Its themes of loyalty, perseverance, second chances, and personal reflection resonate across generations, making it a perfect evening for couples, friends, parents, grandparents, and baseball fans alike.
Adding to the experience are movie snacks, pre-show music, and an optional light buffet dinner, creating a welcoming atmosphere where guests can relax, connect, and enjoy an evening out together.
Saturday Night at the Movies reflects the Bell Tower Cultural Center's mission of bringing people together through programs that entertain, inspire, and strengthen community. By combining beloved films with universal themes and a comfortable social setting, the series offers more than a movie. It creates an opportunity to share laughter, conversation, memories, and the timeless stories that remind us of our common humanity.
Great Movies. Good Company. Meaningful Stories.
A night at the movies that feels like more.

The Bell Tower Cultural Center is thrilled and honored to welcome Crystal Bowersox for a very special, intimate concert experience. Crystal Bowersox, a northwest Ohio native, has built her world around music. By the age of 10, she was performing in local clubs and venues. On the cusp of 18 and with a curious heart, Crystal moved to Chicago, IL, where she spent her days busking on subway platforms between working odd jobs and attending school.
She captured the attention of millions, making it to the finale on Season 9 of American Idol. In 2010, her debut album, “Farmer’s Daughter” was released on Jive Records and she has since released 3 LP’s, two EPs, several singles, and is currently developing a theatrical rock concert titled, "Trauma Queen.”
Crystal has recorded and performed alongside several notable names and additionally, has used her voice and talents to benefit several organizations close to her heart.
Crystal draws upon her various influences to make the kind of music that resonates with her spirit. It is both tender and tough, rough yet polished, and encompasses many genres with a soulful blend of rock, country, folk, and blues. Her performances have a rare ability to feel both powerful and personal, making her a perfect fit for the intimate atmosphere of the Bell Tower Cultural Center. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to experience this nationally known artist up close, in a room where every seat feels connected to the stage.

The Artist Who Kept Her Head
The Life & Times of Rebelious Portrait Painter, Elizabeth Le Brun
In this presentation we follow the life and times of one of history’s most feisty female artists, Elizabeth Le Brun. Born in France in 1755, Le Brun’s talent led her to become one of the royal family’s favorite painters, completing 30 portraits of Marie Antoinette.
But as the French Revolution gained strength, this connection to the doomed Queen almost cost Le Brun her own head. Divorced in an age when divorce equalled scandal and supporting herself through her art at a time when men dominated the art world, single mother, Elizabeth Le Brun refused to be subdued or broken. Her strong spirit and determination enabled this most feisty female to not only survive but to thrive.
Today’s speaker, author and presenter, Elvira Woodruff lives in Martins Creek.

Saturday Night at the Movies
In an age when families often watch entertainment separately, Bell Tower Cultural Center's Saturday Night at the Movies brings people back together for an evening of shared experiences, meaningful storytelling, and community connection.
Presented in cooperation with St. Rocco's Roman Catholic Church, Martins Creek, this special program serves as a dual fundraising event benefiting both organizations while strengthening the bonds that unite our community. Together, the Bell Tower Cultural Center and St. Rocco's share a commitment to creating opportunities for fellowship, enrichment, and meaningful connections among people of all ages.
Our November feature, The Hail Mary, perfectly captures the spirit of the series. While football provides the backdrop, the film is really about faith, family, redemption, perseverance, and the power of believing in something greater than yourself. Produced by local filmmaker Daniel Roebuck, this uplifting and inspiring story follows a struggling high school football team whose journey becomes about far more than wins and losses. Along the way, players, coaches, and families discover the importance of character, community, hope, and second chances.
Like all films selected for this series, The Hail Mary goes far beyond sports. It reminds us that life's greatest victories are often measured not on the scoreboard, but in the relationships we build, the values we uphold, and the courage we find when facing life's challenges. Its themes of faith, resilience, friendship, sacrifice, and personal growth resonate across generations, making it a perfect evening for couples, friends, parents, grandparents, and football fans alike.
Adding to the experience are movie snacks, pre-show music, and an optional light buffet dinner, creating a welcoming atmosphere where guests can relax, connect, and enjoy an evening out together.
