SUMMARY:"Autumnal Tints" a talk and a little walk
DESCRIPTION:Thoreau was a lifelong observer of the colorful leaves that surrounded his native Concord every autumn. He kept copious notes on the autumn leaf color. In the final years of his life\, he put these observations into a lecture that he called “Autumnal Tints.” It would be one of the last essays that he worked on before his death in 1862. Join Concord historian and Thoreau scholar Richard Smith as he tells the story of Thoreau and “Autumnal Tints.” Afterward\, Richard and Park Interpreter Jacqui Kluft will lead a short walk to show visitors some of the plants discussed in the essay. \nParking may be limited. If the Main Parking lot is full\, please proceed to the Shop Lot and mention that you want to attend the program.

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.
