SUMMARY:Patriots of Color Walking Tour with VisitConcord
DESCRIPTION:Between 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. This tour examines the incredible stories of individuals who risked everything during their struggle for liberty\, equality\, and freedom for all.\nSign up at https://visitconcord.org/visit/walking-tours/

SUMMARY:The Concord Players present Brigadoon
DESCRIPTION:While hunting in the Scottish Highlands\, New Yorker Tommy Albright stumbles upon the picturesque village of Brigadoon which seems like a place out of time.  There\, Tommy falls in love – not just with a beautiful lass named Fiona\, but with the town itself.  Only then does he discover Brigadoon’s secret: the village appears only once every 100 years\, for a single day\, then vanishes into the mist. Will Tommy choose to return to his life in the modern world – or remain enchanted in Brigadoon forever? \nPerformances: April 24\, 25\, May 1\, 2\, 8\, and 9 at 8:00 pm with matinees on April 26 and May 3 at 2:00 pm \nTickets: $28.00    concordplayers.org or call 978-369-2990 \n
