A selection of new, unpublished works by (mostly) Alaskan playwrights.

Produced by Christine Kulcheski & Rudy Multz

It’s the third year of the 10 Minute play festival. You’ve become intrigued, piqued, obsessed even, but still, you’ve only been able to make the effort to spectate. Until now… You’ve unlocked a door with the key of imagination and beyond this plane there lies something enticing, something bizarre, something unbelievably compelling. Whoever the characters, whatever the plot, by some impossible twist, you can’t let go, you can’t walk away, you’re being drawn in…into Another Dimension.

Kick off the 2026 Kachemak Bay CoastWalk by Joining us at Bishops Beach. Clean the beach, adopt a zone, grab some food, and play some games!

Every year CoastWalk volunteers remove thousands of pounds of debris from the beaches of Kachemak Bay. Volunteers can take part by signing up for organized community cleanups, or adopting a Zone of Kachemak Bay to clean and document this fall. Sign up, and be part of this Homer tradition over 40 years running. It all gets going Saturday, September 5th at CoastWalk Kickoff!

Hike through tunnels of alder trees and meadows of summer blooms while enjoying sweeping views of the Kenai mountains across Kachemak Bay. Guided by our expert naturalists, you will learn about the flora and fauna of this place. Keep an eye out for the wildlife that call this area home, including moose, black bears, lynx, coyote, sandhill cranes, and much more! Learn about ongoing monitoring and preservation efforts being carried out on the ridge.
This is a family-friendly, mild hike. The route is about 1.5 miles of maintained trail with mild elevation gain.

• Seven SFSP bag lunches every Saturday for each youth during the summer (18 & younger). This is for free to help families with children during the summer.

Weathered

by Holly Dickinson

Inspired by the weathered details of everyday life as much as the dramatic landscapes of coastal Alaska, Holly Dickinson’s paintings explore where nature and home meet. Through bold contrasts in texture and color, her works find beauty in both the overlooked and the extraordinary, revealing how the natural and built environments intertwine.

Hike through meadows of fireweed, dense spruce forest, and rolling wetlands at the headwaters of Fritz Creek. Guided by our expert naturalists, you will learn about local flora and fauna as well as the importance of wetlands to this environment. Keep an eye out for moose grazing on willow or black bears digging for roots. Learn about how we are working to protect this critical environment through ongoing monitoring and research.
This is a moderate hike on maintained trails with moderate elevation change.

Take a journey back through time with everyone's favorite geologist Taz Tally (aka The Rock Doc) as he leads you down Diamond Creek Trail and along the shoreline, revealing the forces of nature that have shaped Kachemak Bay. Join Taz on Friday, September 18 at 5:30 pm for a rock cycle lecture, and put your knowledge to use on the rockhounding adventure on Saturday, September 19 from 10:30 am to 4 pm. The lecture and guided field trip are $89. To register or for more information, visit kpc.alaska.edu/communtiy courses or call (907) 235-1674.
