SUMMARY:Yap and Yarn: An Artist Chat with Shelly “Lola” Freund
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, October 23\, 5 – 6 PM (RSVP appreciated) \nJoin Boston-based artist Shelly “Lola” Freund in an informal conversation as she explores her art practice in real time. While showcasing her yarn technique\, Lola hopes to engage in an open conversation about art practice\, culture\, and our identities. \nBorn and raised in El Salvador in a Jewish household\, Lola’s art is a personal pathway\, a map to her home and cross-continental community. Utilizing brightly colored renditions of her own fingerprints and objects reminiscent of family keepsakes\, Lola’s sweeping canvases pop with copper hues\, vibrant pinks\, and bright blues that shimmer with the additions of rhinestones\, glitter\, and yarn. Whorls of string create pathways\, as she weaves between English\, Spanish\, and Hebrew\, reflected amongst the painting titles. With this amalgamation\, she attempts to build new memories and a new identity in an attempt to rebuild the feeling of home. Existing in the land of in-between\, Lola celebrates her multicultural identity while also asking us to consider what may be lost in translation? \nMenjunje/Amalgamation: An Exploration of Language and Identity on View until November 16th in the Wedge Gallery \nThe Umbrella Arts Galleries are free and open to all.

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. Taken in by a veterinarian\, endeared to his adopted sister Shelly\, and reviled by the locals\, mild-mannered “Edgar” searches fiercely for a place he can truly be himself. 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.
