Paul Revere and Friends

In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, Wellesley will host a spirited America 250 event on Saturday, May 16th at 1:00 PM at 525 Washington, Street in Wellesley, Massachusetts featuring Boston’s national award-winning musical ventriloquist Kevin Driscoll, performing as Paul Revere and Friends™.

As communities across the nation commemorate two and a half centuries of American independence, Driscoll brings Revolutionary-era history to life with music, comedy, and interactive ventriloquism designed to engage audiences of all ages. Blending patriotic storytelling with family-friendly entertainment, the program celebrates the enduring ideals of liberty, courage, and unity that define the American experience.

While historians agree there is no documented evidence that Paul Revere owned a talking dog, audiences at Oak Haven may find themselves imagining otherwise. If such a companion had joined Revere on his legendary midnight ride, he might very well have looked and sounded like Doug The Talking Dog, one of Driscoll’s most beloved characters. Doug adds humor, heart, and a contemporary twist to the Revolutionary narrative, helping younger audiences connect with the spirit of 1776.
