SUMMARY:Lafayette is Coming to Concord!
DESCRIPTION:Lafayette is Coming to Concord  \nOn September 2\, 2024\, Concord\, Lexington\, Boston\, and other towns will celebrate the 200th Anniversary of Lafayette’s Farewell Tour of America. Here is a description of the purpose and plans for this opportunity to recognize this major event as an integral part of the 250th celebrations of the start of the American War for Independence. \nWhy This Is Important  \nIn 1824\, President James Monroe invited General Lafayette of France to come to America and honor those who fought for and supported the War for Independence. France’s role was critical to George Washington and the American forces in the defeat of the British. Without their aid\, it is unlikely we would have prevailed. Like now\, those times were full of serious political polarization\, and President Monroe wanted Lafayette to bring unity through our recognition and appreciation of the French’s contributions. \nThis will also be an opportunity to broaden historical perceptions of the Revolution to be more inclusive of the contributions of African Americans\, women\, immigrants\, and indigenous peoples. This commemorative event gives us the impetus for reflection and discussion of Concord’s legacy and future. According to historian David Hackett Fischer\, “With much encouragement from his friend the Marquis de Lafayette\, Washington’s thinking on race and slavery changed.” Lafayette had a profound impact on the early development of the United States. \nOverview of Lafayette’s Farewell Tour in 2024 – September 2 from 3:00 – 5:00 PM. The American Friends of Lafayette (AFL) is planning and organizing this twenty-five-day (August 16 – September 9) tour\, including reenactors and events in over 40 towns. Each town\, including Concord\, will create its own ceremonies and coordinate the entry and exit of Lafayette’s entourage. \nConcord’s visit will be on Monday\, September 2\, 2024\, (Labor Day Holiday) from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Lafayette will be arriving from Lexington. Our program for this day will include: \n\nConcord’s militia will greet him and march with him to First Parish/Wright Tavern.\nTents and a welcoming party will greet Lafayette with a welcome statement from Samuel Hoar\, descendent of the original greeter of Lafayette to Concord.\nWe will have a wreath-laying ceremony by the Daughters of the American Revolution\nPresentations in First Parish will reflect Lafayette vision and values for America:\n\nRobert A. Gross\, historian and author\,\nJen Turner\, Executive Director of the Robbins House\, and\nSam Williams\, Executive Director of the Prison Outreach Project.\n\n\nMusic will be provided by Anderson Manual of First Parish in Concord\nA reception will follow in the Wright Tavern\n\n*For those looking to join us virtually through zoom\, please register here to get the zoom link. \nCome and Join Us  \nFor more information\, contact Shelley Hawks or the Wright Tavern Legacy Trust at info@wrighttavern.org. \n\n\nFor more information\, go to wrighttavern.org or email:  info@wrighttavern.org or call First Parish office at (978) 369-9602. \n[The Wright Tavern has secured permission to use the image of Lafayette in publicity materials. The image cannot be cropped and must be accompanied by the following credit line: Lafayette Sulphide Paperweight\, about 1820-1840. Concord Museum Collection\, Gift of Mrs. Louis A. Sohier; G299.] \n  \n \n  \nThe public is invited to this free event for all ages celebrating the 200th Anniversary of General Lafayette’s Farewell Tour and his visit to Concord. Meet the Lafayette reenactor on the lawn of First Parish in Concord this Labor Day afternoon on the very site and day he came to Concord in 1824. Hear the fife and drum of the Concord militia as “Lafayette” arrives in a carriage and is greeted at the tent before moving inside for a program in the First Parish sanctuary with remarks by historians and town leaders. Organized by the Wright Tavern and the Racial Justice Affinity Group of First Parish\, the program will feature historian Robert Gross\, Robbins House Executive Director Jen Turner\, Concord Prison Outreach Director Sam Williams\, and Gospel Choir Director at First Parish Anderson Manuel.  A French-themed reception will follow at the Wright Tavern.

For more information about her\, please visit her website:  http://www.louisebessette.com/english/ \nThe Piano Sonata No. 2\, Concord\, Mass.\, 1840–60 (commonly known as The Concord Sonata) was composed by Charles Ives in 1915. It is one of Ives’ best-known and most highly regarded pieces. The sonata’s four movements represent figures associated with transcendentalism: Emerson\, Hawthorne\, The Alcotts\, and Thoreau. The opening bars of Beethoven’s Symphony. \nComposer Charles Ives   was born in Danbury Connecticut in 1874 where his father was a band conductor. Ives was an actuary and businessman as well as a prolific composer known for experimental techniques including polytonality\, polyrhythm\, tone clusters\, and dissonance. His earlier works include The Unanswered Question\, Three Places in New England\, and the Holiday Symphony. \nAbout Louise Bessette… \nMs. Bessette\, born in Montreal in 1959\, trained and teaches at Conservatoire de musique du Quebec a Montreal (CMQM).

SUMMARY:Backyard and Beyond: Seed Investigation at Discovery Museum
DESCRIPTION:Late Summer/early Fall is the time when many trees and plants release their seeds to grow a new generation. These seeds have some ingenious ways of getting where they need to go. Some tempt animals to eat them\, which gives them a free ride and provides fertilizer at the same time! Some parachute from trees\, float on the air or water\, or shoot out from seed pods like missiles. Join us to see what kinds of seeds we can find in Discovery Woods and on the Great Hill Conservation Land! Please note that the conservation land trails are not ADA or stroller accessible; please wear appropriate footwear and clothing. For more information on Great Hill\, please visit trails.actonma.gov. Inclement weather may result in changes to the program or cancellation.

SUMMARY:Network
DESCRIPTION:Nearly a half-century after Paddy Chayefsky’s chillingly prescient\, Oscar-winning black comedy Network became a cinematic classic\, Lee Hall’s potent and provocative new stage adaptation remains as relevant as ever as we grapple with truth\, authenticity\, and the search for meaning in a digital age. \n  \nVeteran news anchor Howard Beale isn’t pulling in the viewers. But when his on-air meltdown sparks a revolution\, Howard suddenly becomes the biggest thing on TV – a ”mad prophet of the airwaves” determined to speak truth to power\, but buffeted by industrial\, political and economic forces with ultimately dire consequences. \n  \nHall’s adaptation “takes on fresh fury in a sizzling stage production…that feels less satiric but more urgent” (Variety) in today’s polarized and media-saturated landscape. Fittingly\, this production is helmed by Ashley Kelly Tata\, a noted multimedia director whose immersive works have been called “fervently inventive\,” by the New York Times. Like the award-winning West End and Broadway productions\, The Umbrella’s production will employ thoroughly integrated multimedia storytelling elements evocative of the film’s masterful use of television ads and industrial sets\, courtesy of innovative NYC-based designer Afsoon Pajoufar. \n  \n“Network remains one of the most remarkable\, if not eerily prescient films of all time\,” says Producing Artistic Director Brian Boruta. “That something written almost 50 years ago could speak so singularly to our present moment is astonishing. It’s a thrill to bring this landmark play to The Umbrella’s stage.” \n  \nThe cast features some of Boston’s biggest names like Barlow Adamson\, Amy Barker\, Steve Barkhimer\, Will McGarrahan\, and Bill Mootos as Howard Beale. \n  \nRunning Sept. 20-Nov. 3 (press opening Friday Sept. 27\, 7:30PM)\, the play will run in rotation with The Umbrella’s production of Now. Here. This\, a new musical from the team that brought you [title of show]\, that tackles life’s big questions with inimitable humor and humanity. \n  \nSelect performances will feature additional engagement opportunities for audience members: \n\n Dinner & A Show packages are available for all Thursday night performances \n Talk Backs are scheduled following performances on Oct. 13 and Oct. 24 \n Childcare with art activities for youth ages 5-12 is available through The Umbrella’s Kid Care program for parents interested in attending the Oct. 13 matinee\n\nDiscounts for students\, seniors\, groups\, Card-to-Culture eligible attendees \nGroup Discounts: Groups of 10 – 14 save 10%; groups of 15 and up save 15%. \nEBT\, WIC\, ConnectorCare Card-to-Culture discounts available.The Umbrella is ADA accessible\, a proud partner in the Massachusetts Cultural Council’s EBT Card-to-Culture program\, and provides free parking and free admission to its visual arts galleries.
