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.

Have you noticed the days are getting shorter? The sun is starting to set earlier, nights are getting darker, and we even turned our clocks back to make our mornings brighter. Around this time of year, many cultures even celebrate holidays by including lights in their festivities. Join us as we make one-of-a-kind lanterns and light up the afternoon with a lantern procession through Discovery Woods! Inclement weather may result in changes to the program, or cancellation.

Making Motion with Motors and Markers
2022-11-19 13:00 - 14:30 (America/New_York) | Discovery Museum, Discovery Museum, 177 Main St, Acton, MA, 01720, United States
Make a unique piece of art with a motorized contraption to take home!
In this 90-minute session we’ll create and decorate a simple DIY robotic friend made of spinning and wiggling motors, markers, tape, and a variety of recycled and repurposed materials. Then we’ll set the machines in motion and watch them leave behind trails of unexpected, scribbled patterns.
This program is recommended for children aged 7 and up with an accompanying adult. Due to the nature of the materials we’ll be using, we cannot accommodate children under 5 to be present.
Advance registration is required. This program is designed for children and their caregivers to enjoy together.
