The course will also delve into the economic and social factors behind the mass exodus of French Canadians to New England. Finally, it will examine how French Canadians adapted to life as Franco-Americans while preserving their language, faith, and customs in Lewiston-Auburn and across New England for nearly a century.
Camden Martin was born in Lewiston, grew up in Auburn and attended Edward Little High School until his sophomore year when he left to attend the Lycée Albert Camus in Nîmes, France.

The Birds
2025-02-21 19:00 - 20:30 | Russell Hall, 24 University Way, Gorham, ME, 04038, United States
The Birds
by Conor McPherson
Directed by Liz Carlson
February 21-March 2, 2025
Daphne du Maurier’s short story, also the basis for Alfred Hitchcock’s classic film, is boldly adapted by Conor McPherson—a gripping, unsettling, and moving look at human relationships in the face of societal collapse. In an isolated house, strangers Nat and Diane take shelter from relentless masses of attacking birds. They find relative sanctuary but not comfort or peace; there’s no electricity, little food, and a nearby neighbor may still be alive and watching them. Another refugee, the young and attractive Julia, arrives with some news of the outside world, but her presence also brings discord. Their survival becomes even more doubtful when paranoia takes hold of the makeshift fortress—an internal threat to match that of the birds outside.
