SUMMARY:Ways of My Ancestors – Imagery: Lighting the Path to Awareness

His work has been exhibited at the Danforth Museum\, Worcester Art Museum\, Boston City Hall\, and other venues. \nOn view through March 23 in The Umbrella’s Wedge Gallery\, this exhibition reflects Foster’s travels within his home state of Massachusetts and throughout the ancestral homelands of the Native American Peoples of New England.

SUMMARY:Where We Belong
DESCRIPTION:The Umbrella Stage Company presents the New England premiere of Mohegan theatre-maker Madeline Sayet’s ground-breaking one-woman show\, Where We Belong. \nWith great humor\, insight and imaginative storytelling\, the autobiographical play weaves together indigenous history\, Shakespeare\, colonialism\, cultural legacy\, the power of language and legend. It recounts Sayet’s 2015 journey to England to pursue a PhD in Shakespeare\, in the shadow of the Brexit vote. Moving between nations that have failed to reckon with their ongoing roles in colonialism\, she grapples with what it means to remain or leave her own home at Mohegan\, but finds comfort following in the footsteps of her ancestors who traveled to England in the 1700s to help her people. \nPerformed for the first time by an artist other than Sayet herself\, the show has been completely restaged by fellow director and playwright Tara Moses. Its staging in Concord during the semiquincentennial of the “shot heard round the world” raises timely questions of whose stories about history are told\, how\, by whom\, and in what language. \nThe show runs Feb. 28-Mar. 23\, including a special Student Group Matinee Wed. Mar. 12 at 4PM\, and select performances will feature engagement opportunities including optional pre-show catered dinners on Thursdays\, childcare through The Umbrella’s Kid-Care program for parents interested in attending the March 9 matinee\, and others. \nThe Umbrella is ADA accessible\, a proud partner in the Massachusetts Cultural Council’s EBT Card-to-Culture program\, and provides free parking and free admission to its visual arts galleries. See https://TheUmbrellaArts.org/WWB for more information. \nStudent: $20\nSenior: $45\nAdult: $48

SUMMARY:“The Light of Seven Days”: An author event with Mass Book Award-Honoree River Adams
DESCRIPTION:Join the Chelmsford Public Library for a special event with Mass Book Award-honoree River Adams! River will share their acclaimed and richly textured novel\, The Light of Seven Days. \nLiving with her Babby after her parents’ death\, 10-year-old Dinah Ash is invited to train at Leningrad’s legendary Vaganova Ballet School. In the world of elite dance\, she works hard\, falls in love\, and weathers the Soviet Union’s ubiquitous antisemitism\, but despite an impressive talent\, she quickly learns that dancers of her “profile” don’t make prima ballerinas. Love of Leningrad\, ballet\, friends\, family\, and books sustain Dinah until history intervenes. \nThe Soviet war in Afghanistan\, the rise of perestroika\, and a re-emergence of Nazism leave her vulnerable and exposed. Realizing escape is her only option\, she applies for refugee status in America. Dinah’s adjustment to life in the US is a test as much of her identity as of her perseverance. Is who she is something Dinah can forge on her own? Or is identity imposed by upbringing\, public opinion\, and the myths of our cultures? As Dinah struggles with the questions of religion\, race\, and worth\, her choices and the people she encounters will determine whether the dream of a better life can survive the weight of the past. \nThis program is sponsored by the Mass Book Awards Speakers Bureau and is presented in collaboration with the Massachusetts Center for the Book. \nRiver Adams (they/them) grew up in late Soviet Russia\, pursuing a career as a concert pianist\, and came to America at the age of 19 as a Jewish refugee. They graduated from Delaware County Community College in Pennsylvania\, earned their BA at Rosemont College and their MTS at Harvard Divinity School\, then returned to Philadelphia to teach religious studies and work as a medical interpreter for Russian-speaking patients. Today\, having earned an MFA from Emerson College\, they live in Massachusetts; care for their noisy family of eight humans\, two dogs\, and a cat; and write. They are the author of many published short stories and essays and a biography of Leonard Swidler\, There Must Be YOU (Resource Publications\, 2014). Their debut novel\, The Light of Seven Days (Delphinium Books\, 2023) was named finalist by the National Jewish Book Awards and an honor title by the Massachusetts Book Awards. \nFor more information\, visit their website: riveradamsauthor.weebly.com
