Wildly funny comedy about a theater company attempting to perform a play while everything that can possibly go wrong does! A fond look at the follies of theater folk, whose susceptibility to out-of-control egos, memory loss, and romantic entanglements turn every performance into a high-risk adventure. Brimming with slapstick comedy, Noises Off is a delightful backstage farce, complete with slamming doors, falling trousers, and flying sardines!

Ask any room of high school or college girls whether they struggle with self-doubt, and nearly every hand goes up. REVIVE With Purpose exists for them, and for the women who’ve felt the same way for years.

Today REVIVE is a 501(c)(3) running small-group workshops across New England. Its six-stage process helps women and teens build coping skills, end unhealthy cycles, and find their voice.
On Thursday, November 12, join us at Stazione di Federal for our annual fundraiser. Expect real stories, inspiring people, and a great night out. Every ticket helps bring REVIVE workshops to more schools, colleges, and women’s groups. <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/revive-with-purpose-annual-fundraiser-tickets-2001386111736?" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">eventbrite.com/e/revive-with-purpose-annual-fundraiser-tickets-2001386111736?</a>

Home of Loyalist Isaac Jones and 6 generations of his family

Golden Ball Tavern Museum

Step inside history at the Golden Ball Tavern Museum—a remarkable home built in 1768 where the drama of the American Revolution once unfolded. Built by Isaac Jones, a prominent citizen who famously shifted from Loyalist to Patriot, the Tavern became an unlikely hub of intrigue. In 1774 it was the scene of a violent ransacking known as the ‘Weston Tea Party’. During the winter of 1775, it served as a base for British spies, playing a role in the events that led to the march on Lexington and Concord. These walls have witnessed divided loyalties, secret plans, and a nation on the brink of independence. The tavern, found at “the sign of the Golden Ball,” welcomed travelers from 1770 to 1793. For the 200 years, six generations of the Jones family carefully preserved the home and its stories—creating a rare, unbroken link to the past. Today, the Golden Ball Tavern Museum invites visitors to experience early American life up close. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the museum houses hundreds of original artifacts and offers engaging programs, lectures, and events that bring history vividly to life for all ages. Open year-round from February through December, the museum welcomes visitors every Thursday (10 a.m.–4 p.m.) and on the second Sunday of each month (1–4 p.m.). The museum has a special, week-long holiday event in December which is open to the public each day. Whether you're a history enthusiast or just curious about the past, there’s something here for everyone. Our largest fundraiser of the year - the Golden Ball Tavern Museum's Barn Sale - will celebrate its 59th year on September 26th, 2026. Join us from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. You’ll find gorgeous items donated by local and wider community members—many who are moving, downsizing, or just clearing space. Expect a wide variety, of antique, vintage and contemporary items. Learn more or plan your visit at www.goldenballtavern.org.
