SUMMARY:The American Revolution: A story of the War in 28 Paintings
DESCRIPTION:1776 was more than a turning point; it marked the birth of a new world order. A bold line was drawn as ordinary people made extraordinary decisions\, declaring independence from the most powerful empire on earth. Driven by youthful fire\, they believed in the promise of liberty more than they feared the cost of pursuing it.\nHistoric Beverly proudly presents The American Revolution: A story of the War in 28 Paintings\, a once-in-a-lifetime exhibition of artworks commissioned to illustrate Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Sr.’s landmark book.\nThese paintings are featured in Ken Burns’ upcoming documentary The American Revolution. The exhibit will be on display at the Cabot House from September 6\, 2025 to July 4\, 2026. Tickets are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:The Counter at The Umbrella Arts Center
DESCRIPTION:The Umbrella Arts Center proudly presents the Boston-area premiere of The Counter\, a riveting new play by acclaimed playwright Meghan Kennedy. This production will run Sep 26 – Nov 9\, 2025\, transforming the intimate Black Box space into a prism for a surprising\, funny and moving reflection on the everyday connections that can change our lives. \nThe play is helmed by emerging director Alex Lonati in her Umbrella Stage debut\, and features Norton Award-nominated “ranney”* as Paul\, Margaret Clark as Katie\, and Norton and IRNE Award-winner Maureen Keiller* as Peg. \nThis award-winning play follows the unlikely connection between Paul\, a retired firefighter who goes every morning to the same small town diner\, and Katie\, who’s always there to pour the coffee. After many months of small talk across the counter\, the sharing of one secret grows into a deeply meaningful\, life-affirming friendship—shocking both Paul and Katie into embracing the hopes and joys born of basic human connection. \nThrough sharp dialogue and unexpected humor\, The Counter explores “secrets and grief and escape\, [running] away and starting again\, and most crucially standing in front of a suddenly opened door.” (New York Stage Review) \n“I’m excited that Boston audiences will have an opportunity to experience The Counter for the first time\,” says Performing Arts Director Brian Boruta. “It struck me as a thrilling surprise – a reminder that the most unlikely connections found in our everyday lives can have a monumental impact.” \nOriginally commissioned by Roundabout Theater\, it was called “an intensely provocative new American play” (New York Stage Review) by Kennedy\, whose other plays include Napoli\, Brooklyn; Too Much\, Too Much\, Too Many; and Light. Her work has been produced around the U.S.\, U.K.\, Ireland and Sweden\, developed or presented by such prominent institutions as the National Theatre of London\, The Atlantic Theater Company\, Williamstown Theatre Festival\, and Ars Nova. \n*Indicates a member of Actor’s Equity Association.

SUMMARY:Let's Talk Lowell
DESCRIPTION:Want to join a community dialogue about the issues facing Lowell such as housing\, downtown\, immigration\, transportation\, and more? Drop in for roundtable “World Café” style conversations facilitated by DIY Lowell with neighbors\, experts\, and community leaders. Share your concerns\, ideas\, and dreams for Lowell – and turn those ideas into action! \nWe meet fourth Thursdays\, January through October\, 5:45 pm at LTC (246 Market Street). RSVP at https://diylowell.org/letstalk \nLet’s Talk Lowell was inspired by the significant changes Lowell experienced in 2024-25: closures and relocations of arts and cultural organizations\, challenges faced by businesses and immigrants\, and ongoing heartbreak of homelessness and sustainability issues. These developments highlighted the importance of coming together to address these pressing topics and create a brighter future for our city. \nIn addition\, there are so many people working hard to keep Lowell vibrant\, maintain and grow businesses\, and help people in need. It’s critical to connect with them and make sure we’re doing all we can to support one another. \nDIY Lowell is supported in part by a grant from MassHumanities; in part by the City of Lowell; and in part by generous donations from businesses\, organizations\, and individuals including the following Comet-level sponsors: Greater Lowell Community Foundation\, Enterprise Bank.
