SUMMARY:The Odyssey: An Artistic Adaptation for 2 Actors
DESCRIPTION:What is the cost of our choices? Can love sustain across time\, war and distance? Can you ever really find your way home? \nJoin 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. \nThe Concord Free Public Library is committed to providing everyone with unimpeded access to our resources\, programs\, and services. Learn more about accessibility at our libraries. You can also email our administration team or give us a call at either of our libraries to request additional accommodations. \nThe Concord Free Public Library’s programs are free to the public thanks to the generous support of the Friends of the Concord Free Public Library and the Concord Free Public Library Corporation.

SUMMARY:Trinitarian Congregational Church and the Struggle for Abolition from 1826 through the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Trinitarian Congregational Church (TriCon) in Concord will host award-winning historian and author Robert A Gross in conversation with Kyle B Roberts\, Executive Director of the Congregational Library & Archives in Boston. The two will discuss abolition in New England in the mid 1800s\, with specific examples from the history of TriCon\, its pastors\, and parishioners in the early years of its founding. In 1826\, as the First Church in Concord moved toward Unitarianism\, nine members (including Maria\, Elizabeth and Jane Thoreau\, aunts of Henry David) joined others from the town to form what was to become Trinitarian Congregational Church. In this\, our 200th year\, TriCon commemorates its founding and shares some of its early history in this public program\, which is free and open to all.
