ABOUT THE PILLOWMAN
Once upon a time, there lived a writer who wrote gruesome tales. He lived with his brother under the watchful eye of an unnamed authoritarian regime. But when a string of horrific child murders begins to mirror his frightful tales, our writer finds himself before two investigators who want more than answers. Widely regarded as one of the greatest plays of the last 25 years, Martin McDonagh’s The Pillowman is as dark as comedies get and is sure to leave audiences talking long after they leave the theater.

The Pillowman is presented by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals.

Christ Church

Do you love to sing? Have you sung in a choir before—or always wanted to try? Andover Choral Society invites singers throughout the Merrimack Valley and surrounding communities to “Come Sing with Us” as it begins its 2026–27 season under the leadership of new Music Director Dr. Charles Tyler Turner. Andover Choral Society will hold open rehearsals for prospective singers on Monday, September 28th and Monday, October 5th from 7:20 to 9:30 p.m. at Christ Church, 33 Central Street, Andover, MA. All voice parts are welcome. While there is no audition to join, singers should be able to match pitch and follow music, and regular attendance and committed participation are expected. &nbsp;The season will culminate in a concert on February 7, 2027, featuring Gabriel Fauré’s beloved Requiem,&nbsp;Haydn's&nbsp;Te Deum,&nbsp;and Rey's&nbsp;Three Tangos.
Andover Choral Society is a volunteer community chorus that brings together singers of different ages, professions, backgrounds, and levels of musical experience. The group is dedicated to presenting exceptional performances, connecting to the larger community, and fostering an appreciation of choral music. They perform two concerts per year, singing a repertoire that focuses on fine choral and choral-orchestral works from the Baroque era to the present day. In addition to the annual concerts, the chorus performs at area assisted living facilities during the holiday season and at other community events. 
Founded in 1929, Andover Choral Society is looking ahead to celebrating its 100th Anniversary under the leadership of new Music Director Dr. Charles Tyler Turner. Dr. Turner brings extensive experience as a choral and orchestral conductor, music educator, and nonprofit leader to his new role with Andover Choral Society. He is enthusiastic about welcoming new singers to the organization and issued an invitation to prospective members. "There is something special about coming together to learn and perform great music. I would love to welcome you to the Andover Choral Society!"

Choose an Austin Prep Education Rooted in Augustinian Values

Austin Preparatory School, located in Reading, Massachusetts, is an independent Catholic prep school rooted in the Augustinian tradition. Serving students in grades 6 through 12, Austin Prep has cultivated a close-knit learning community since its founding in 1961. Guided by its mission to inspire hearts to unite, minds to inquire, and hands to serve, the school challenges students through a rigorous college preparatory program that includes honors and Advanced Placement courses, personalized instruction, and intentionally small classes. An Austin Prep education is preparation for the journey of life. Beyond academics, the school’s unwritten curriculum – the lived expression of veritas, unitas, and caritas (truth, unity, and love) – forms the heart of its mission. “At Austin Prep, we are on a journey that is life-changing and important,” says Head of School James Hickey, Ph.D. “Our patron, St. Augustine, embarked on a journey for the truth. At our core is an institution on the same journey, committed to exemplary teaching and learning.” Serving grades 6–12 under one roof allows this leading prep school to guide students through every stage of development—academic, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual. Community stands at the center of this experience, nurturing belonging and inspiring students to lead lives of purpose. Austin Prep athletics teams, competing in the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC), are recognized among the best north of Boston, reflecting the same drive and integrity found in the classroom. Nearly every graduate continues on to a four-year college, prepared not only for success in higher education but for a meaningful life shaped by faith, friendship, and service.
