November 16: Women of ‘76 with Rita Parisi of Waterfall Productions
Step back in time and discover the untold stories of five remarkable women, both patriot and loyalist, American and foreign-born, who witnessed, chronicled, and in some cases changed the course of the American Revolution. As communities commemorate America 250, this timely performance offers a unique and engaging perspective on the Revolutionary era.
November 23: The Things I Have Done For Money with Tony Toledo
Tony Toledo has had many jobs. Come hear about them! He was a house painter, a group home councilor, an Army veteran, a Teamster Local 20 union steward (while he loaded for UPS). Then he stumbled upon storytelling and everything changed for the better. Tony Toledo has been a full time professional storyteller since the end of the 20th Century.
November 30: Little Mister Victory with David Kruh
Little Mister Victory is the true story of co-author Tina Drzal’s decades-long search for the woman who abandoned her father on VJ Day. Using cutting-edge DNA analysis and good-old-fashioned detective work (burrowing into newspaper archives, ecclesiastic and government documents) David and Tina found the mother, along with a surprise: abandoning her newborn baby was not the most shocking act of her life. David Kruh is a writer, historian, and playwright who is perhaps best-known for his two books on Scollay Square, Boston’s erstwhile entertainment district. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
