SUMMARY:The Concord Players' present Urinetown
DESCRIPTION:A slightly different kind of revolution will take place in historic Concord with The Concord Players’ production of Urinetown the Musical! It’s a dark time in a dark city\, where a 20-year drought has led to severe water restrictions – including a ban on private toilets. Public pay toilets are controlled by the evil ‘Urine Good Company’\, which is gleefully gouging huge profits off a very basic human right: the privilege to pee. Despite the title\, this multiple Tony Award winner is an irreverent satire\, whose sharp wit and non-stop humor presents the endlessly comic side of unchecked capitalism\, corporate greed and social irresponsibility. Urinetown takes a modern approach to examine the concept of a revolution with this road to freedom paved with catchy music\, flashy dance sequences and witty comedy. Performances: May 2\, 3\, 9\, 10\, 16 & 17 at 8:00 pm and May 4 & 11 at 2:00 pm Tickets: $28. with reserved seating  \nVisit: www.concordplayers.org

SUMMARY:Urinetown the Musical May 2-17
DESCRIPTION:The Concord Players presents Urinetown the Musical…a slightly different type of Revolution! \nIt’s a dark time in a dark city\, where a 20-year drought has led to severe water restrictions — including a ban on private toilets.

SUMMARY:Patriots of Color Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Saturdays\, 1:30pm Tours \nMarch 22\, 2025 – June 30\, 2025 \nBetween twenty and forty colonists who fought along the Battle Road on April 19\, 1775\, were of African descent or Indigenous people. Although excluded from required militia service prior to the war\, these individuals of color were the first of many to take up arms between 1775 and 1783. \nBy the end of the conflict\, an estimated 5\,500 African and Indigenous  men served on the colonial side. Unfortunately\, systemic racism and historical bias have erased or buried many records of Black and Indigenous people who played a prominent role in the founding of the United States. In this 90 minute walking tour we will examine the known history and stories of these Patriots of Color who fought for freedom locally both during the American Revolution and beyond. Minuteman National Park\, Robbins House and Concord Visitors Center staff will lead this tour examining the incredible stories of individuals who risked everything during their struggle for liberty\, equality\, and freedom for all.\n\nTour meets at the North Bridge Lower Lot.  All ages are welcome. Free from March 22-June 30\, 2005.\n\nThis walking tour  is  co-sponsored by Minuteman National Park\, The Robbins House\,  and The Concord Visitors Center as a Concord250 Event and is funded by the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism.\n\nDonations in support of Black History Month in Concord may be made to The Robbins House here:  https://robbinshouse.org/donate/\n\nLearn More about Patriots of Color HERE\n\nhttps://robbinshouse.org/wp-content/uploads/PatriotsofColor-web.pdf\n\nhttps://www.nps.gov/mima/patriotsofcolor.htm

SUMMARY:Concord250: Discord on the Concord:  River Ice Breakup and the Revolution of the Seasons (Then and Now)
DESCRIPTION:The Sudbury-Assabet-Concord (SuAsCo) Wild and Scenic River Stewardship Council hosts University of Connecticut Professor Robert Thorson and a special presentation on the history of our rivers as part of Concord250. \nA frequent and engaging speaker in Concord\, Dr. Thorson is a Midwestern native\, turned Northwestern geologist\, turned Northeastern academic. He is a life member of the Thoreau Society\, serves on its board\, and is the author of The Guide to Walden Pond (2018)\, The Boatman (2017)\, Walden’s Shore (2014)\, Beyond Walden (2009)\, The Walden Experiments (in review at Princeton Press)\, and other works. Since 1984 he has been a Professor of Earth Sciences UConn where he commutes to work on a woodland path. \n  \nHis talk\, “Discord on the Concord: River Ice Breakup and the Revolution of the Seasons (Then and Now)” will feature his new analysis of historic seasonal changes in the rivers\, from spring ice breakup to their typical slow and dark path through our town in summer. Zooming out from the Old North Bridge\, Dr. Thorson will explain this river system’s unusual behavior\, how ice-jam flooding may have played a key role in bridge history between 1660 and 1793\, and how climate change in our 21st century is transforming the river we have known.

SUMMARY:Urinetown the Musical May 2-17
DESCRIPTION:The Concord Players presents Urinetown the Musical…a slightly different type of Revolution! \nIt’s a dark time in a dark city\, where a 20-year drought has led to severe water restrictions — including a ban on private toilets. Fee-based public toilets are controlled by the evil Urine Good Company\, which is gleefully gouging huge profits off a very basic human need. In all this wasteland\, can a golden-throated hero arise who has the heart\, the hope\, and the pipes to lead the people to freedom? \nWinner of multiple Tony awards\, Urinetown the Musical is an irreverent satire\, whose sharp wit and non-stop humor present us with the endlessly comic side of unchecked capitalism\, corporate mismanagement\, and social irresponsibility. \nPerformances: May 2\, 3\, 9\, 10\, 16 & 17 at 8:00 pm and May 4 & 11 at 2:00pm \nat The Performing Arts Center\, 51 Walden Street\, Concord\, MA \nFor Tickets and more information: concordplayers.org or call 978-369-2990

SUMMARY:Concord Players present "Urinetown"
DESCRIPTION:A slightly different kind of revolution will take place in historic Concord with The Concord Players’ production of Urinetown the Musical! It’s a dark time in a dark city\, where a 20-year drought has led to severe water restrictions – including a ban on private toilets. Public pay toilets are controlled by the evil ‘Urine Good Company’\, which is gleefully gouging huge profits off a very basic human right: the privilege to pee. Despite the title\, this multiple Tony Award winner is an irreverent satire\, whose sharp wit and non-stop humor presents the endlessly comic side of unchecked capitalism\, corporate greed and social irresponsibility. Urinetown takes a modern approach to examine the concept of a revolution with this road to freedom paved with catchy music\, flashy dance sequences and witty comedy. Performances: May 2\, 3\, 9\, 10\, 16 & 17 at 8:00 pm and May 4 & 11 at 2:00 pm Tickets: $28. with reserved seating Visit: www.concordplayers.org

SUMMARY:Patriots of Color Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Saturdays\, 1:30pm Tours \nMarch 22\, 2025 – June 30\, 2025 \nBetween twenty and forty colonists who fought along the Battle Road on April 19\, 1775\, were of African descent or Indigenous people. Although excluded from required militia service prior to the war\, these individuals of color were the first of many to take up arms between 1775 and 1783. \nBy the end of the conflict\, an estimated 5\,500 African and Indigenous  men served on the colonial side. Unfortunately\, systemic racism and historical bias have erased or buried many records of Black and Indigenous people who played a prominent role in the founding of the United States. In this 90 minute walking tour we will examine the known history and stories of these Patriots of Color who fought for freedom locally both during the American Revolution and beyond. Minuteman National Park\, Robbins House and Concord Visitors Center staff will lead this tour examining the incredible stories of individuals who risked everything during their struggle for liberty\, equality\, and freedom for all.\n\nTour meets at the North Bridge Lower Lot.  All ages are welcome. Free from March 22-June 30\, 2005.\n\nThis walking tour  is  co-sponsored by Minuteman National Park\, The Robbins House\,  and The Concord Visitors Center as a Concord250 Event and is funded by the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism.\n\nDonations in support of Black History Month in Concord may be made to The Robbins House here:  https://robbinshouse.org/donate/\n\nLearn More about Patriots of Color HERE\n\nhttps://robbinshouse.org/wp-content/uploads/PatriotsofColor-web.pdf\n\nhttps://www.nps.gov/mima/patriotsofcolor.htm

SUMMARY:Be a part of the Concord250 Monumental Remake!
DESCRIPTION:Concord 250: Monumental (Re)Make \n\nCelebrate the 250th birthday of the battles of Concord and Lexington by helping us recreate Daniel Chester French’s iconic statue The Minute Man through collaborative 3D printing! \n\n\n\n \nWhat is this?\nThe Workshop is collaborating with local artist and author Dr. Linda Booth Sweeney to reimagine and reproduce a scale model of Daniel Chester French’s iconic statue The Minute Man through a collaborative 3D printing process! There are two ways to participate: \n#1 Print a Part.\nMakers of all ages are invited to visit the Workshop any time during regular Open Maker Hours to 3D print a part (or several!) of The Minute Man! Just follow the instructions to reserve a 3D printer and ask for a design file when you arrive! The Minute Man is a great project for beginners\, but if you’re new to our machines\, we strongly recommend reviewing our instructional materials before your visit \n#2 Build Together.\nMakers of all ages can also attend one of our interactive building sessions throughout the year to learn more about The Minute Man and 3D modeling and printing from Workshop staff and local artist and author Dr. Linda Booth Sweeney\, while assembling the pieces printed by our neighbors! Find upcoming sessions on the Workshop Calendar! \nWhere will the final project be displayed?\nNo matter how you choose to participate\, all contributors will have the opportunity to add their name to our makers record to be displayed alongside the completed project at the Library in 2025. \nIsn’t that a lot of plastic?\nYes\, it is! As a Certified Sustainable Library\, we take the environmental impact of a project like this very seriously. All components of the (Re)Make will be composed of PLA\, a vegetable-based plastic. The Library has secured a speciality recycling vendor to process the statue and any waste materials in the event that the statue must be disposed of. \nMy school/company/non-profit organization has a 3D printer – can we help?\nYes! Just complete our (Re)Make Partnership Interest Form\, and our staff will be happy to reach out with more information. \n\nThe original 3D scan of The Minute Man was generously donated by Todd Taylor of Minuteman Pewter. \n\n\n \n
