It’s July and that means summer is in full swing with activities and events for all. The Concord Museum has several new activities that promise something different for participants. On Saturday, July 13, 11 a.
m.-12:30 p.m.
join folks for a walk in Thoreau’s Concord. When we think of Henry David Thoreau, we picture him during his two years spent living at Walden Pond. But he lived in other homes in Concord throughout his life.
This walk will take you on a tour of the domestic side of Thoreau’s life. Visit https://concordmuseum.org/event/a-walk-in-thoreaus-concord-3/ to register and for info.
It’s an outdoor performance from the award-winning Firelight Theatre Workshop of “We Were Friends” on Thursday, July 18 at 6 p.m. The play is a fun reimagining of the profound friendship between Margaret Fuller and Ralph Waldo Emerson set in today’s world.
In the 12-part series, two of which are being performed at the museum this summer, Firelight explores the intimate, private moments of this deep, platonic friendship. The series moves non-chronologically. Each episode stands alone, but each is a puzzle piece in the larger portrait of their friendship.
Bring a blanket and join others on the museum’s front lawn for the first installment as the friends celebrate their birthdays. Margaret is suffering from a cold and indecision. Waldo wonders about Beauty.
Following the performance, writers and performers Nora Fifer and Jason Lambert and co-writer Henry Walters will participa.
