Cheshire High School

Cheshire High School Drama is proud to present Badger, a full-length play by Don Zolidis.&nbsp; Set in 1944, during the final years of World War II, Badger tells the story of five young women who take jobs at the Badger Ordnance Works, one of the largest munitions factories in the United States. As they enter a workforce transformed by wartime demands, these women find themselves navigating dangerous working conditions, workplace discrimination, complicated relationships, and the challenges of discovering who they are and what they value. Through unexpected friendships, moments of joy, and heartbreak, they discover strength and solidarity in an uncertain world. Badger offers a compelling look at a pivotal moment in American history and celebrates the courage, resilience, and contributions of women whose stories are often overlooked.
Our cast and crew is excited to bring this powerful ensemble drama to life!&nbsp; Join us at the Cheshire High School Thorp Auditorium on November 19, 20, and 21 at 7:30 PM.&nbsp; Tickets available at the door for $10.

Hamden Memorial Town Hall

The all-volunteer Hamden Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Vesna Mehinovic, will open its 65th season with their Fall performance, “A Place For Us” on Friday, November 20th at 7:30 PM in Hamden’s Memorial Town Hall auditorium. As America’s 250th birthday year begins to culminate, Hamden Symphony will present two works of American music that highlight the varied global influences and styles that have been interwoven from its beginnings, as well as two staples of the European classical music tradition.
Hamden Symphony will perform the Symphonic Dances from West Side Story by the renowned American composer, conductor and scholar, Leonard Bernstein. As one of the most complex works the Orchestra has performed in their 65-year history, it will feature a massive percussion instrumentation, and evoke the soaring melodies, dynamic rhythms and dramatic arc of the original musical from which this suite is derived.
The Orchestra is excited to welcome oboist Pedro Falcón to perform the Concerto in C Major of Antonio Vivaldi. In addition, the Connecticut-based band, Blue Soul Society, will perform an excerpt from William Russo’s Three Pieces for Blues Band &amp; Orchestra.
Opening the performance will be the Symphony No. 8 of Ludwig Von Beethoven (both his penultimate symphony and his shortest), which was composed in the year 1812. No tickets are required in advance. A suggested donation of $20 will be accepted at the door.
This performance is generously sponsored by the Sude/Wang family. Additional support is provided by the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development, Office of the Arts, which also receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
