UPCOMING THEATER-
Don Quixote De La Center at The Quannapowitt Players Theater, Reading, Massachusetts: April 4 & 5 2025
The Play that Goes Wrong, Through April 19, 2025, The Greater Boston Stage Company, Stoneham, Massachusetts
FUTURE EVENTS THAT TEND TO SELL OUT:
Gather 2025 is a month-long exploration of fiber and textile art in Greater Boston, highlighting the vibrancy, breadth, challenges and future of this tactile medium.
Sign up now for the April 13th Easter Egg Hunt at McCue’s Garden Center!
Get ready to celebrate Lex250! Get event information and the shuttle details from area towns. Some locals park and walk a historic route from a location like Ryan Field in Woburn and walk to the Lexington Green just like Woburn’s Minutemen. There is a rehearsal for the event on April 5th around 2pm without musket fire, which may be a bit more friendly for those with sensory sensitivities.
HAPPENING THIS WEEK –
Try a FREE online (recorded) cooking class compliments of Effortless Kitchen with Arlington Personal Chef, Debbie Brosnan!
