What is the cost of our choices? Can love sustain across time, war and distance? Can you ever really find your way home?
Join actors Stephen Collins and Poornima Kirby as they take on this three-thousand-year-old epic about the adventures of a wily and complicated traveler. Our two-person, one-hour adaptation draws from multiple translations, punctuated with poetry and sea-chanties to connect this age-old epic to our modern time. Told as a marital squabble between Odysseus and his wife, Penelope, the story weaves through Odysseus’ travels and to his arrival in Ithaca to face the fall-out of his absence, and find out if he can really come home. With Stephen Collins as the funny, damaged, scheming Odysseus and Poornima flowing nimbly between Penelope, Calypso, Circe, the Cyclops and many more characters - our artistic, playful, searching adaptation explores the universal human needs that run through this ancient poem - from the desire to belong, to the hunger for vengeance, to the hope of a second chance.<a href="https://concordlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/the-odyssey-an-artistic-adaptation-for-2-actors/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Register here for the event.</a>

Sudbury Historical Society

In celebration of America250, the Sudbury Historical Society (SHS) will proudly present the Sudbury Witness House Tour on Saturday, May 2nd!
Experience some of the oldest homes in Sudbury that witnessed 1776: the momentous year of the ratification of the United States Declaration of Independence and one that recalls the town spirit in Sudbury through its famous 01776 zip code.
The Sudbury Witness House Tour will begin at the first stop: the Loring Parsonage. The home was built for Reverend Israel Loring (1682-1772), stood through the American Revolution, and is now the home of the Sudbury History Center and Museum. There, attendees will receive their tour booklet and begin their journey to a group of impressive Witness Houses—homes that have been in Sudbury since 1776 or earlier—that are now private residences for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.To reserve your spot and register, visit: <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sudbury-witness-house-tour-tickets-1981435202028?aff=oddtdtcreator" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">eventbrite.com/e/sudbury-witness-house-tour-tickets-1981435202028</a>

Maypole dancing is a centuries-old tradition celebrated on May Day. It is believed to have started in Roman Britain around 2000 years ago, when soldiers celebrated the arrival of spring by dancing around decorated trees, thanking their goddess Flora. These days, dancers weave ribbons around a pole rather than a tree, celebrating the arrival of spring.
