SUMMARY:The Full Monty
DESCRIPTION:Book by Terrence McNally; Music and Lyrics by David Yazbek \nMain Stage Theater 144 \nApr 26 – May 19\, 2024 \nRun-time @ 2.5 Hours with Intermission \nThe Umbrella Stage Company presents the beloved\, raucous\, pop-rock-musical send-up of gender expectations and stereotypes… that takes it all off! April 26-May 19 \nBased on the cult hit film of the same name\, The Full Monty is a ten-time Tony-nominated Americanized adaptation that’s filled with honest affection\, engaging melodies\, a ton of humor…and the most highly anticipated closing number of any show! \nWhile spying on their wives at a “Girls’ Night Out\,” a group of unemployed steelworkers from Buffalo sees how much they enjoy watching male strippers. Jealous\, out of work and feeling emasculated\, the men come up with a bold and unclothed way to make some quick cash. In preparing\, they find themselves extremely exposed; not merely physically but emotionally. As they conquer their fears\, self-consciousness and prejudices\, the men come to discover that they’re stronger as a group\, and the strength that they find in each other gives them the individual courage to “let it go.” Right to the end\, audiences will be wondering if these lovable misfits will really pull it off.  \nConceived by the powerhouse team of Terrence McNally (Ragtime) and David Yazbek (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) with a raucous mix of razor-sharp humor and toe-tapping pizzazz\, this heartwarming\, upbeat comedy features an ensemble cast of some of Boston’s favorite actors directed for The Umbrella Stage Company by multi-Elliot Norton Award winner Leigh Barrett. \nSelect performances will feature additional audience engagement opportunities including: Optional Thursday-night Dinner & A Show Packages\, post-show Talk Backs\, and childcare for parents interested in attending the May 5 matinee through The Umbrella’s Kid Care program. \nThe 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. \nThis show is Rated R and contains strong language\, adult themes\, attempted self-harm\, and brief nudity. Audience members should use their judgment about attendance. \nSee https://TheUmbrellaArts.org/Monty for more information.

SUMMARY:The Life of Benjamin Ralph Kimlau - with Lt. Col. Love
DESCRIPTION:Benjamin Ralph Kimlau (金勞少尉) (April 11\, 1918 – March 5\, 1944) was a Chinese American aviator and United States Air Force bomber pilot and native son of Concord. Kimlau was born in Concord on April 10\, 1918\, and lived in the area until he was 14. His father was a chemist\, and his mother was an interpreter who had moved to the area from San Francisco. \nThe family later moved to New York City\, and after a visit to China\, he studied at Pennsylvania Military College in Chester\, Pennsylvania\, from 1938 to 1942. Upon graduation\, he was promoted to Field Artillery 2nd Lieutenant. With America at war\, Kimlau joined the US Army Field Artillery but later transferred to the United States Army Air Forces 380th Bombardment Group of the Fifth Air Force. After training as a pilot\, he was stationed at Fenton Airfield in Australia. In Australia\, Kimlau flew a B-24 Liberator bomber in missions during the New Guinea campaign. Lt. Benjamin Ralph Kimlau and his entire crew perished during their final mission at Los Negros Island in March 1944. The 380th Bombardment Group was awarded two Presidential Unit Citations for their outstanding performance and gallantry in battle. \nKimlau was honored by the New York City American Legion 1291\, which named the post after him in 1962. The Benjamin Ralph Kimlau Memorial Gate (金勞紀念牌坊) was erected at Kimlau Square within Chatham Square in his memory. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the Kimlau War Memorial as a landmark in June 2021. \nLt. Col. Love of the Massachusetts National Guard has done extensive research to reconstruct what we know of Kimlau’s family and the well-documented details of his final mission. \nJoin us for a discussion that will touch on what we can learn about Kimlau’s life\, his time in the area\, and the role of Asian American and Pacific Islander residents in the fabric of our nation and community. \n  \n \nAbout the Speaker:  Lieutenant Colonel Geoffrey Love is the Director of Historical Services for the Massachusetts National Guard and curator of the Massachusetts National Guard Museum in Concord. He has served as a soldier\, NCO\, and officer in the Army and the Army National Guard for 37 years in the field artillery and logistics branches. His education and interest in historical research and archival practice led to his current assignment\, where he has the rewarding task of living up to the motto of the Massachusetts National Guard Museum\, “Preserve\, Educate\, Inspire.” \nThis event is co-sponsored by Concord250\, The Massachusetts National Guard Museum and Archives\, and The Concord Free Public Library’s William Munroe Special Collections.
