SUMMARY:Concord250 Event: “A Fight for Freedom: Honoring Patriots of Color”
DESCRIPTION:Reserve your space using the QR code below or link here.  \nReservations requested but not required. \n \n“A Fight for Freedom: Honoring Patriots of Color” is a two-hour live  event dedicated to uncovering and honoring the often-overlooked contributions of Black and Indigenous patriots  both during the American Revolution and the long struggle for continued expansion of  freedom and liberty over the past 250 years. \nThis event will take place at the Umbrella Arts\, 40 Stow Street in Concord. \nIn 1775\, between 20 and 40 colonists of African and Indigenous descent fought alongside their fellow revolutionaries on the Battle Road during the opening conflict of the American Revolution. These individuals\, who had been excluded from formal militia service prior to the war\, became some of the earliest patriots to take up arms in the fight for liberty. By the end of the Revolutionary War\, approximately 5\,500  people of color had served in the Continental Army or militia\, risking their lives for the promise of freedom. \nDespite their significant role in the founding of the United States\, the stories of these patriots and their descendants  have often been erased or overshadowed by historical bias\, and their sacrifices obscured by a narrative written by others. \nBy telling their stories and honoring their service\, we not only shed light on their essential contributions but also expand our understanding of the nation’s founding. Their bravery and resilience remind us that the struggle for freedom has always been fought by people from all backgrounds and walks of life. Today\, efforts at the national and state levels—particularly in Massachusetts—are working to correct this historical oversight and honor the full spectrum of those who fought and continue to fight for liberty and equality for all people. \nProgram Highlights: \n\nHistorical Narratives: Historical interpreters guide participants through the stories of people  who fought for independence. Brister Freeman\, Cesar Robbins among others\nInspiring Performers: Through spoken word\, theatre\, music and song performers will share perspectives on the ongoing struggle for freedom\, liberty\, and equality\, both during the Revolution and in the centuries that followed.\nCommunity Reflection: The event will close with a community dialogue on the importance of recognizing the diverse voices and contributions that shaped the nation’s history\, past and present.\n\nJoin us for an event of learning\, reflection\, and recognition as we honor the courageous men and women who fought for freedom and whose stories are vital to understanding the full history of our nation. \nFunded by the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism \nPartners: MA250 Concord250\,  Minuteman National Historical  Park\, The Robbins House\, The Town of Concord\, The Umbrella Arts Center. \nCONTACT : Joe Palumbo\,  Concord250 Events Chair\,  617 905 5085

SUMMARY:Concord250 Event: Where We Belong\, New England Premiere!
DESCRIPTION:Indigenous Theater-Maker’s Journey Grapples with Geographic Borders and\nCultural Legacies in a Universal Search for Belonging \nFebruary 28- March 23\, 2025 \nUmbrella Arts\, Black Box Theater \nBy Madeline Sayet\, Directed by Tara Moses \nThe Umbrella Stage Company is thrilled to mount the New England Premiere of Mohegan theatre-maker Madeline Sayet’s ground-breaking one-woman show\, Where We Belong.\nPerformed for the first time by an artist other than Sayet herself\, it is helmed by fellow\nIndigenous director and playwright Tara Moses and stars GiGi Buddie. This brand new staging in\nConcord\, MA during the Semiquincentennial of the beginning of the American Revolution raises\ntimely questions of whose histories are told\, how\, by whom\, and in what language. \nWith great humor\, insight\, and imaginative storytelling\, the autobiographical play weaves\ntogether Indigenous history\, Shakespeare\, cultural legacy\, the power of language\, and legend. It\nrecounts Sayet’s 2015 journey to England to pursue a PhD in Shakespeare in the shadow of the\nBrexit vote. Moving between nations that have failed to reckon with their ongoing roles in\ncolonialism\, she grapples with what it means to remain or leave her own home as a Mohegan\,\nbut discovers comfort in mirroring the footsteps of her ancestors who traveled to England in the\n1700s. \n“Madeline’s story is uniquely personal\, but universally relatable. Following the completion of\nthe original tour with Madeline at the center\,” says Brian Boruta\, Umbrella Stage Producing\nArtistic Director\, “we wanted to explore how the play could evolve\, be adapted for other\nperformers\, and reveal a continuing relevance for future productions and new audiences. Sayet\noriginally developed the play in partnership with Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company in\nassociation with The Folger Shakespeare Library\, and is engaged with the Umbrella team on this\nnext evolution. \nThe show runs Feb. 28-Mar. 23 (press opening Sunday Mar. 2\, 3:00PM)\, including a special\nStudent Group Matinee Wed. Mar. 12 at 4PM\, and select performances will feature engagement\nopportunities.\n● Dinner & A Show packages are available for all Thursday night performances\n● Talk Backs scheduled following performances on March 12\, 16 and 20\n● Childcare with art activities for youth ages 5-12 is available through The Umbrella’s Kid\nCare program for parents interested in attending the March 16 matinee\nPlanned community engagement activities will also highlight art and experiences of Concord’s\nnative Nipmuc and Massachusett tribes\, including a concurrent gallery exhibition of work by\nNipmuc photographer Scott Strong Hawk Foster.\nThe Umbrella is ADA accessible\, a proud partner in the Massachusetts Cultural Council’s EBT\nCard-to-Culture program\, and provides free parking and free admission to its visual arts\ngalleries. See https://TheUmbrellaArts.org/WWB for more information. \nSpecial Note to Press: We ask our friends in the press to please respect the request to avoid\nreproducing Mohegan language words in their coverage\, including those in the script\, as this is a\nlanguage under active reconstruction and reclamation. \n  \nABOUT MADELINE SAYET\nMadeline Sayet is a member of the Mohegan Tribe in Connecticut\, where she was raised on a\ncombination of traditional Mohegan stories and Shakespeare. Both of which have influenced\nher work as a playwright and director.\nShe has been named a Forbes 30 Under 30 in Hollywood & Entertainment\, a NCAIED Native\nAmerican 40 Under 40\, a TED Fellow\, MIT Media Lab Director’s Fellow\, and a recipient of the\nWhite House Champion of Change Award from President Obama.

SUMMARY:Concord250: The Concord Chorus Winter Concert “Lift Up the Light”
DESCRIPTION:Tickets are now on sale for the Concord Chorus Winter Concert on December 14\, at 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. This lively performance of seasonal pieces highlights the continued friendship of former enemies in recognition of the “Concord 250” celebration of the American Revolution. The concert will showcase beautiful music by British and American composers; the repertoire includes works by women\, people of different faiths\, and those with diverse styles.

Davis\, Charles Ives\, Henry Purcell\, John Rutter\, Randall Thompson\, Ralph Vaughan Williams\, Virgil Thomson\, and Errollyn Wallen. Accompaniment is by Jonathan Wessler on organ\, and John Sullivan on piano.\n\n\nSaturday\, December 14 at 2:00PM & 5:00PM\nMiddlesex School Memorial Chapel\n1400 Lowell Road\, Concord\, MA 01742

SUMMARY:Concord Museum: Making the Presidency: John Adams and the Precedents that Forged the Republic
DESCRIPTION:Making the Presidency: John Adams and the Precedents that Forged the Republic \nConcord Museum Forum \nWednesday\, October 2 | 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. \nFree for Members | $10 Non-Members | Free Virtual \nRenowned presidential historian and Executive Director of the George Washington Presidential Library at Mount Vernon\, Dr. Lindsay M. Chervinsky\, joins us for a conversation on John Adams’ five year-battle to defend the presidency. 1797 wasn’t too different from 2024\, with pandemics\, battles over immigration and citizenship\, legislation to limit free speech\, foreign interference in national elections\, and contested election results. Dr. Chervinsky’s new book Making the Presidency is the authoritative account of the second president that shows how John Adams’ leadership and legacy defined the office and ensured the survival of the American republic. The ideas and legacy of John Adams’ presidency are ever resonant amid this pivotal election year. \n  \nTo commemorate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution\, the Concord Museum will offer ongoing opportunities to gather as a community\, reflect on the founding of our nation\, and engage with the significance of our shared past for our present moment. Highlights will include three new special exhibitions\, a special speaker series\, a published catalog\, and expanded educational resources. Together\, these initiatives will showcase the incredible stories behind the eyewitness objects held at the Museum to illuminate the many different ways people experienced\, shaped\, and remembered the Revolution. \n
