Hovey Players

Ester is a swimmer trying to stay afloat. Amy is curled up on the locker room floor. Dry Land is a fearless coming-of-age drama that plunges beneath the surface of female friendship, sexuality, and survival. Darkly funny and emotionally volatile, the play crackles with queer tension as two teenage swimmers push against the limits of trust, intimacy, and control. Performance Dates: May 29, 30, June 5, 6, 11, 12 &amp; 13- 8pm / May 31 &amp; June 7 - 2pm Ticket Prices: $20-$25

☀️ Chill Saturday Brunch Picnic (Small Group Vibes) 🌿

On Sunday, May 31st at 8:30 AM, runners and walkers will gather at Prospect Hill Park (314 Totten Pond Road, Waltham, MA) for the Mission MetroWest Road Race, a challenging and scenic 5K fundraiser benefiting the Community Day Center of Waltham (CDCW), the only drop-in day shelter serving adults experiencing homelessness in the MetroWest region.
The certified course combines trail and road terrain entirely within the park, featuring steep hills, wooded paths, and sweeping views of the Boston skyline.
The race also serves as the culmination of “Mission MetroWest: A Mile a Day in May,” a month-long movement and fundraising challenge supporting the CDCW’s work.
This year’s event feels especially meaningful because former CDCW guest Judy — alongside her senior dog, Callie-Jane — will be waiting at the finish line. After unexpectedly losing her housing, Judy stayed in the CDCW’s Night Program while staff helped her secure a new apartment. Now stably housed, she has raised nearly $1,000 to give back to the very program that supported her during a difficult chapter in her life.
“When people run this race, they are directly supporting our guests,” said Executive Director Chloe-Rose Crouch. “Judy’s story is a reminder of why this work matters.”&nbsp;Register at the link below!

Acme Theater

A madcap comedic farce set in the Silver Crest Manor, a once-respected nursing home besieged by all manner of chaos. While a violent thunderstorm rages outside, inside a drug dealer is on the loose, an escaped mental patient is hunted by the police, and a trio of scheming scoundrels spin a web of identity theft and deception. As patients mysteriously vanish and impostors emerge, the confusion-and hilarity escalates through mistaken identities, double-dealing, and surprise twists. Hold onto your walkers: Losing Patients blends outrageous physical comedy with unexpected plot turns right up to its surprise finish.
 Losing Patients by A. Duke and Virginia Cate Directed by Kelsey McDonough and assistant directed by Jill Zuber-Sheils&nbsp;
