“Interwoven: Women’s Lives Written in Thread” highlights needlework produced by young women in New England and specifically the extraordinary collection of samplers at the Concord Museum. Featuring 30 samplers sewn in the early 1700s to mid-1800s, the exhibition explores how young women created records of their own lives and experiences, written in thread.
“Interwoven: Women’s Lives Written in Thread” explores the history of needlework and embroidery, its importance as an art form, and its significance to women in the 18th and 19th centuries. Intended to showcase young women’s accomplishments, the samplers also communicate details of their lives and education, their communities, and their families. The exhibition provides a unique view into their private lives. For most of these young women, their samplers are the only objects that survive from their lives. Many of the samplers have never been displayed before.
Learn about the education of privileged young women in the early republic and understand how wealth and enslaved labor enabled them to pursue decorative arts. Explore the materials used in constructing samplers, such as linens, dyes and silk, and how and where these materials were produced. View samplers that demonstrate how women recorded family history and the loss of loved ones through needlework. Understand how they incorporated the importance of community and a strong sense of place in their samplers.
Exhibition sponsored by The Coby Foundation.

Gaslight
2023-11-01, 2023-11-02, 2023-11-03, 2023-11-04, 2023-11-05 | Merrimack Repertory Theatre, Merrimack Repertory Theatre, 50 E Merrimack St, Lowell, MA, 01852, United States
Based on the play by Patrick Hamilton
A new version for the stage by Steven Dietz
Directed by Courtney Sale
October 18 – November 5
A psychological thriller adapted by Steven Dietz based on the 1939 play by Patrick Hamilton and the 1944 Ingrid Bergman film. Gaslight thrillingly delves into the horrors of psychological abuse, where the truth is fickle for characters and audience alike. With undertones of Sherlock Holmes and film noir, it’s a story replete with mystery, double-crosses, and at its core a statement on the injustice and impact of abuse.
Produced in partnership with Cincinnati Shakespeare Company
