SUMMARY:Invasive Earthworms in Managed Landscapes: Impact and Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Jumping worms have garnered a lot of interest from the public in recent years. Presenter Dr. Olga Kostromytska will teach us about the identification and biology of invasive earthworms in MA\, and their role in and impact on urban landscapes. In particular\, she will discuss the “crazy/jumping worm” species (Amynthas spp.) that has many homeowners in MA and New England concerned. She will also share updates about her current research. \nAbout the Presenter: \nExtension Assistant Professor Olga Kostromytska received her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Entomology from the University of Florida\, specializing in turf entomology. Since 2010\, she has worked as a post-doctoral researcher at Rutgers University\, focusing on biology and management of annual bluegrass weevil\, a destructive pest on golf courses. She was worked on projects studying host plant resistance\, insecticide resistance\, biocontrol options\, chemical ecology and reproductive diapause of annual bluegrass weevil. Other research interests include biology and management of white grubs\, mole crickets\, billbugs\, chinchbugs\, cutworms. \nShe joined University of Massachusetts in September 2018\, as an Extension faculty member. Her research program is centered on gaining better understanding of the biology and ecology of turfgrass insect pests\, developing sustainable management strategies with reduced insecticide applications\, investigating insecticide resistance mechanisms\, and developing resistance mitigation programs. \nThis program is offered in partnership with the Middlesex Conservation District.

SUMMARY:Bat Boy: The Musical
DESCRIPTION:Umbrella Arts presents… BAT BOY: THE MUSICAL | September 25 – November 8\, 2026 in Concord\, MA \nTHE STORY: Half-bat\, half-boy\, ripped from the tabloid headlines\, and thrust into the spotlight! In this camp horror comedy\, a misunderstood monster seeks a place to belong.

Set to an eclectic pop-rock score by Laurence O’Keefe (Legally Blonde\, Heathers the Musical)\, Edgar’s wild journey is a hilarious satire and an offbeat fable for the outsider in all of us. \nBAT BOY: THE MUSICAL is recommended for mature audiences\, teens and up.
