From Friday\, October 10 through Sunday\, November 23\, 2025\, audiences will be invited into the creative crucible of a composer on the brink of his 30th birthday\, facing the crossroads of love\, ambition\, and artistic purpose. \nBefore Rent\, there was TICK\, TICK… BOOM!. This autobiographical musical by Jonathan Larson\, the Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning composer of Rent\, is the story of a composer and the sacrifices that he made to achieve his big break in theater.

SUMMARY:Taste of the Season Farm Dinner
DESCRIPTION:At Forge & Vine\, our Taste of the Season dinner series celebrates the beauty and importance of sourcing locally. Every ingredient tells a story—of the farmers\, fishermen\, and foragers whose dedication sustains our region and enriches our community. By choosing local\, we not only support our economy and environment but also reduce our collective footprint\, keeping the bounty of Massachusetts—its fertile farms\, coastal harvests\, and iconic maple syrup—at the center of our table. \nJoin us for an evening that honors these connections and the incredible seasonal flavors that define New England. Tickets include a cocktail hour featuring handcrafted canapés\, followed by a five-course dinner with expertly paired wines. Hosted in the Four Seasons Room at Forge & Vine\, this exclusive 21+ event invites food lovers to gather\, savor\, and celebrate the season together. \nWe want every guest to enjoy their meal—please let us know of any allergies beforehand\, and we’ll gladly accommodate when possible. \nSeating is limited – reserve your spot today! Tickets are $155 per person including tax and gratuity.

SUMMARY:The Umbrella Concert Series in partnership with Salt Lick Incubator presents Salt Lick Sessions
DESCRIPTION:The Umbrella’s expanded Concert Series in partnership with Salt Lick Incubator showcases some of your future-favorite musical acts that have emerged through the Salt Lick program. Each concert spotlights the incredible talents of tomorrow’s groundbreaking artists\, creates support and lets you say you knew them back when! Featuring: Olivia Barton\, Carter Benjamin\, and Kieran Rhodes. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS:\nOlivia Barton writes songs that walk the line between unfiltered and refined. With reverence for the craft of songwriting\, Barton writes and sings like she speaks: unapologetic\, yet approachable\, turning crowds into confidants. Having shared stages with Lizzy McAlpine\, Madi Diaz\, Field Medic\, Searows\, Annika Bennett\, and others\, her songs carry what folk music has always carried: emotion\, memory\, simple truth. \nAn indie/alternative artist blending folk\, gospel\, and soul-infused rock\, Carter Benjamin’s music is rooted in storytelling\, exploring themes of identity\, resilience\, and belonging. From his upbringing in Grand Cayman and DC to his bold\, genre-defying album Black Boys on the Radio Part II\, Benjamin reclaims space for voices too often left out of the conversation. \nKieran Rhodes is a piano-driven pop artist and songwriter whose music blends timeless melodies with sharp lyrical storytelling. A Berklee College of Music alum and America’s Got Talent standout\, Rhodes gained viral attention with his original song “Disengage” and further recognition when his song “What Got Into You” was featured in Netflix’s Virgin River. He has opened for artists including JP Saxe\, Ben Abraham\, and Five for Fighting\, and performed at major festivals like Boston Calling.

SUMMARY:TICK\, TICK… BOOM! at The Umbrella Arts Center
DESCRIPTION:The Umbrella Stage Company is proud to announce the presentation of TICK\, TICK… BOOM!\, the autobiographical rock musical by Jonathan Larson\, directed by Ilyse Robbins**. From Friday\, October 10 through Sunday\, November 23\, 2025\, audiences will be invited into the creative crucible of a composer on the brink of his 30th birthday\, facing the crossroads of love\, ambition\, and artistic purpose. \nBefore Rent\, there was TICK\, TICK… BOOM!. This autobiographical musical by Jonathan Larson\, the Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning composer of Rent\, is the story of a composer and the sacrifices that he made to achieve his big break in theater. TICK\, TICK… BOOM! takes you on the playwright/composer’s journey through his quarter-life crisis that led to a Broadway blockbuster. \nHis girlfriend wants to get married and move out of the city\, his best friend is making big bucks on Madison Avenue\, and yet Jon is still waiting on tables and trying to write the great American musical. Set in 1990\, this compelling story of personal discovery is presented as a rock musical filled with instantly appealing melodies and a unique blend of musical theater styles. \nShows run Thursdays and Fridays at 7:30PM\, Saturdays at 8PM and Sundays at 3PM. A special KidCare Show on Nov 2 will allow parents an opportunity to attend a matinee performance while their child(ren) ages 5-12 engage in art activities inspired by the show in one of The Umbrella’s classrooms with an experienced teacher.\nDinner & A Show packages are available for all Thursday night performances. Talk Backs are scheduled following the Oct 18 and Nov 6 performances. \nThe performance will run in rotation with The Umbrella’s production of the heartfelt play The Counter\, a Boston-area premiere\, in the Black Box Theater from Sep 26 through Nov 9. \n** Indicates a member of Stage Directors And Choreographers Society
