Earth Day Awareness Film: “We’re All Plastic People Now”
Please join us for a special showing of the documentary, We’re All Plastic People Now&nbsp;on Tuesday, April 28, 2026 from 6:00-7:30pm at the Malden Public Library. A short discussion and Q&amp;A with Eileen Ryan, from Beyond Plastics Greater Boston will follow the film.
“In an era of throw-away ease, convenience has cost us our well-being. Plastics have been found inside our bodies- in our colons, our brains, and even in mothers’ developing wombs. Scientists around the country are sounding the alarm, but without public buy-in, there is little that can be done. How much evidence do we need before we decide to take action?”
Not Rated. (56 min.) (2024)

These baroque tunes make one want to dance! The dances are accessible and the dancers are mostly newcomers so, don't expect a "performance" but rather a nice participatory community event for all ages and abilities.&nbsp;

Please join us for Movie Night on Wednesday, May 6, 2026: 6:00-8:00pm at the Malden Public Library. We will be showing the movie for Haitian Heritage Month about Mountains. The film stars Atibon Nazaire, Sheila Anozier, and Chris Renois. The film is directed by Monica Sorelle and it has won 11 film festival awards.
“A Haitian demolition worker is faced with the realities of redevelopment as he is tasked with dismantling his rapidly gentrifying neighborhood [in Little Haiti, Miami].” The film explores the changing nature of neighborhoods and how communities change over time. In the Haitian Creole language there is a proverb: "Dèyè mòn gen mòn" which means, “Behind mountains there are mountains.” This is a famous Haitian proverb that roughly means when you overcome one obstacle, there is another greater obstacle or challenge ahead of you. This Haitian proverb speaks to the idea of having resilience in life.
Not Rated (95 min.) (2024) This film is in English and Haitian&nbsp;Creole.&nbsp;97% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Free snacks will be provided. Movie times are approximate.

Ultimate Tango School of Dance

If you’ve ever watched Argentine Tango and thought, “I could never do that,” this day is for you. Because you can - and we’ll prove it.The Ultimate Tango Experience Open House is designed especially for newcomers. It’s your chance to explore what tango really is: connection, balance, music, and a conversation without words. No experience, no partner, and no fancy shoes required - just curiosity. 
&nbsp;What to Expect
1:30–3:00 PM - Beginner Class A gentle, guided introduction to Argentine Tango. You’ll learn how to walk in harmony with a partner, find your balance, and discover the rhythm that makes this dance unlike any other.
3:00–6:00 PM - Che Tango Practica After class, stay and dance (or simply observe) in a relaxed, social atmosphere. It’s where learning meets fun - with music, friendly dancers, and a chance to see how beginners and advanced dancers share the same floor.
3:30 PM - Performance by Ultimate Tango Teachers and Students A short showcase to inspire you - and show where your very first steps might take you.
 Why Try Tango? Because tango teaches more than dance. It teaches balance, listening, patience, confidence, and connection - all through movement. Many discover that tango helps them move better, think clearer, and connect deeper - both on and off the dance floor. &nbsp;Special Note for the Brave Ones. If you fall in love with tango (and we think you might), there will be a special thank-you discount for those who decide to continue their journey and join the Beginner Course that day.
Good to Know No partner required &nbsp;No experience needed &nbsp;Comfortable clothing and smooth-soled shoes are recommended (you will need to change out of your street shoes, so remember to bring an extra pair) Free entry for newcomers: class + practica included

The Cut - Stage • Studio • Restaurant • Bar

For over 50 years Black Uhuru has remained one of the most popular recognized prolific reggae band from Jamaica. The living legends have earned several achievements in the music industry including winning the first ever Grammy Award for reggae music. They’re long success along with having the highest reggae record sales after Bob Marley &amp; the most songs sampled by other artist over the years has allowed them to become Ambassadors of reggae.The roots of Black Uhuru formed in Kingston’s “Waterhouse” District in the late 60’s. It is the home of founder &amp; leader Derrick “Duckie” Simpson along with all the rest of the singers from the group. The original Uhuru’s Swahili for “freedom” were Duckie, Don Carlos &amp; Garth Dennis. The first song was a Curtis Mayfield cover of “Folk Song”. They made only a couple more songs before Don left to pursue a solo career &amp; Garth joined Wailing Souls. The two were replaced by Michael Rose &amp; Errol Nelson both from Waterhouse. They recorded the debut album “Love Crises” in 1977 for Prince Jammy later re-released as “Black Sounds of Freedom”. Errol later left the group to join the Jays &amp; was replaced by female singer Puma Jones.This new line-up is when the band began to collaborate with Sly &amp; Robbie &amp; developed the “classic Uhuru” sound of the 80’s. A unique style full of heavy drum &amp; bass, sharp keys, loud guitar riffs &amp; long instrumentals filled with whirly background effects &amp; the signature “wow oh-oh oh’s” echo. It was during this period they signed with Island Records. They began touring internationally &amp; started receiving worldwide attention. They recorded some of their most popular albums like “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner” “Sensimelia” &amp; “Chill Out”. The album “Red” was voted #23 for Rolling Stone Magazine list of 100 greatest albums of the 80’s. And history was made when they won reggae’s first grammy award in 1984 for the album “Anthem”. Shortly after the grammy Michael left the group to go solo.Another Waterhouse resident named Junior Reid became the new lead singer. Two albums were released “Brutal” nominated for grammy &amp; “Positive” with Ras Records. These albums included popular hits like “Dreadlocks on the Mountain” “Fit You Haffi Fit” &amp; one of the groups first music videos “Great Train Robbery”. Sadly due to ill health Puma passed away in 1990. Around this time Jr. Reid was having visa issues unable to tour.During the mid 90’s the original members reunited. Four albums were released “Now”, “Iron”, Storm”, “Mystical Truth” &amp; “Strongg” all nominated for grammy. They made an award-winning music video for “Tip of the Iceberg” that featured rap star Ice-T &amp; another video for “One Love” featuring Louie Rankin. They performed live on television for VH1 a cover version of Jimmy Hendrix “Hey Joe”. In 1994 they won the Diamonds Awards for Excellence. Unfortunately, the group began to dispute over band legal rights &amp; went to court in the late 90’s. Duckie won the rights to the name.
