A dramatic mystery waiting to be unfolded: The Porch

Beginning September 7th, The Porch, an amazing theatrical drama will take action! The Porch is about three ladies of a certain age discussing things that ladies of a certain age discussed in 2004–like the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal. And ALL its ramifications. The ladies are funny, insightful, incisive and they abandoned their censorship synapses long ago. As the Labor Day weekend continues, we get to know them, and their long-suffering husbands as a mystery unfolds involving one of the ladies and a time in her past that touched her and all her friends. The drama in The Porch sneaks up on you as you laugh and laugh. When life attacks suddenly, it’s friendship alone that provides the bridge to tomorrow.

Performance Dates:
September 7, 8, 14, 15, 20, 21 & 22, at 8pm and September 16 at 2pm.

Declaring Independence: A Special Tour of the Governor Gore Mansion

Tomorrow is a great day to continue your Independence Day celebrations! For three more days you have the opportunity to take a special Independence-Day-themed tour. You'll hear tales of America's beginnings while viewing this beautiful 1806 mansion, said by many to be the finest Federal period house in New England!

 "Gore Place, the Federal period historic house and estate of Massachusetts Governor Christopher Gore, includes a small farm with sheep, goats and poultry. The elegantly furnished mansion has been called “the Monticello of the North” and architectural historians consider it to be the most significant Federal period mansion in New England."

Grab the kids, those in-town family members, or a group of friends, and head to Gore Place in Waltham. It's a true New England must-see, and what a better time than the week of Independence Day? And I know you took vacation time so I don't want to hear any excuses!
