When Jody Hill Simpson sat down to read “The Secret of Captain Midnight,” the Music on Norway Pond artistic director and founder immediately had a vision.
It was written by Libby Fuller, a friend of hers from Peterborough who was looking for comments on her young adult book. Simpson saw the potential for a new venture under the Music on Norway Pond umbrella – since the normal way that the singing-focused organization operates was put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Instead of singing, Simpson saw an avenue to put together a read-aloud of the book and this Saturday, the Music on Norway Pond’s children’s group, the Junior Mints, will perform an adaptation of the “The Secret of Captain Midnight” via livestream at 1 and 3:30 p.m. from the Hancock Meetinghouse.
