Good fences make good neighbors . . . right?

A millennial, Latinx couple moves in next door to a white, baby boomer couple in Karen Zacarías’ topical new comedy. After some good-natured ribbing over gardening styles–traditional designs versus the eco-friendlier native plants–the couples find themselves at odds over an unexpected property line dispute. A dispute that explodes into a host of verbal jabs and blows over race, culture, privilege, and the meaning of neighborly behavior.

Celebrate National Aviation Day
2021-08-19 09:30 - 11:00 (America/New_York) | Discovery Museum, Discovery Museum, 177 Main St, Acton, MA, 01720, United States
National Aviation Day is a holiday that commemorates the development in aviation and its revolutionary impact on scientific and technological progress. It falls on the birthday of Orville Wright, one of the Wright brothers, who were the first people in the world to successfully build a motor-operated airplane, and the inventors of aircraft controls. We will also learn about several groundbreaking female pilots throughout history including: Sunita Williams, Matice Wright-Springer, Jeannie Leavitt, Jennifer Murray, Anny Divya, and Amelia Earhart. Join us as we twirl, kerplunk, flutter, bounce the many ways we can we make a piece of paper fall to the ground. Explore and create a variety of differently shaped pieces of paper, and observe how each item moves as it falls.
