SUMMARY:Treestump Woodcraft Show & Sale
DESCRIPTION:Artisans Way\, located at 18 Walden St.\, Concord\, will welcome Treestump Woodcrafts for their annual Trunk Show on Saturday\, September 20 from 10-6 and Sunday\, September 21 from 12-5. \nHandcrafting their beautiful Southwestern style work for over 30 years\, Treestump Woodcrafts is a family business with Ron and Christine Sisco and their son Ron.  From their Arizona studio\, they use wood and stone to create furniture\, bowls\, trays\, sushi and bread boards\, and kitchen utensils. Their work is made primarily of mesquite\, a North American sustainable hardwood that is collected from naturally felled trees.  This year\, they will be introducing new furniture styles from their updated collection of tables\, benches\, and shelves. \nInspired by an ancient Chinese technique that Christine learned of in her Art History class in college\, they utilize the meandering cracks and knots in the wood by filling them with natural turquoise (known for its sky-blue col0r) or hand-gathered river rocks to produce sublime\, one-of-a-kind pieces.  All of their work is fully functional and meant to be used. \nThe Siscos will be in-store to provide a live demonstration of their signature technique and answer questions about their unique pieces throughout the weekend. Additionally\, all in-stock Treestump woodwork will be 15% off during the show.  For additional information\, check the website at www.artisansway.net/events or call (978) 369-4400.

SUMMARY:The Counter at The Umbrella Arts Center
DESCRIPTION:The Umbrella Arts Center proudly presents the Boston-area premiere of The Counter\, a riveting new play by acclaimed playwright Meghan Kennedy. This production will run Sep 26 – Nov 9\, 2025\, transforming the intimate Black Box space into a prism for a surprising\, funny and moving reflection on the everyday connections that can change our lives. \n  \nThe play is helmed by emerging director Alex Lonati in her Umbrella Stage debut\, and features Norton Award-nominated “ranney”* as Paul\, Margaret Clark as Katie\, and Norton and IRNE Award-winner Maureen Keiller* as Peg. \n  \nThis award-winning play follows the unlikely connection between Paul\, a retired firefighter who goes every morning to the same small town diner\, and Katie\, who’s always there to pour the coffee. After many months of small talk across the counter\, the sharing of one secret grows into a deeply meaningful\, life-affirming friendship—shocking both Paul and Katie into embracing the hopes and joys born of basic human connection. \n  \nThrough sharp dialogue and unexpected humor\, The Counter explores “secrets and grief and escape\, [running] away and starting again\, and most crucially standing in front of a suddenly opened door.” (New York Stage Review) \n  \n“I’m excited that Boston audiences will have an opportunity to experience The Counter for the first time\,” says Performing Arts Director Brian Boruta. “It struck me as a thrilling surprise – a reminder that the most unlikely connections found in our everyday lives can have a monumental impact.” \n  \nOriginally commissioned by Roundabout Theater\, it was called “an intensely provocative new American play” (New York Stage Review) by Kennedy\, whose other plays include Napoli\, Brooklyn; Too Much\, Too Much\, Too Many; and Light. Her work has been produced around the U.S.\, U.K.\, Ireland and Sweden\, developed or presented by such prominent institutions as the National Theatre of London\, The Atlantic Theater Company\, Williamstown Theatre Festival\, and Ars Nova. \n  \n*Indicates a member of Actor’s Equity Association.

SUMMARY:Family Tree: A Reckoning
DESCRIPTION:A few years ago\, historian Elizabeth Herbin-Triant uncovered a long-hidden family secret: her family tree included one of Providence’s most prolific slave traders\, Cyprian Sterry. Her research into Sterry’s life—marked by great wealth\, a role at Brown University\, and eventual ruin—led her to explore both her white and African American lineage. In Family Tree: A Reckoning\, Herbin-Triant examines how families forget painful histories and asks: What do we gain—as individuals and as a nation—from confronting the full truth of our past? \nFree Members | $10 Non-Members | Free Virtual
