SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: A Charles Dickens Christmas with Bill Thierfelder
DESCRIPTION:Charles Dickens has famously been called “The Man Who Invented Christmas.” Inspired by the writings of Washington Irving earlier in the 19th century\, Dickens wrote five Christmas novellas between 1843 and 1848 and over a dozen short stories between 1852 and 1866. Each of these–including the perennial favorite A Christmas Carrol–helped to shape how the holiday season is celebrated in Britain and America. This program explores these wonderful flights of holiday fantasy and their lasting influence. \nThis program is offered in collaboration with the Bacon Free Library\, the Groton Public Library\, and the Natick Historical Society. \nPLEASE REGISTER HERE FOR THE ZOOM LINK. \n  \nAbout the Speaker\nDr. Bill Thierfelder is a retired professor of arts and humanities\, with a PhD in English literature\, an MA in theology\, and a BA in English with additional concentrations in music history and art. After teaching second grade for four years and high school seniors for six months as a replacement substitute\, Bill spent the next 32 years teaching a variety of arts and humanities courses at several New York and Long Island universities and colleges\, including St. John’s University\, Hofstra University\, and Dowling College. \nBill is currently docent emeritus at the American Museum of Natural History where he continues to give both Zoom and in-person presentations\, work on special editing projects\, and give tours. He also lectures regularly for libraries and educational organizations nationwide via Zoom. Bill’s classroom\, library\, and museum vocations have taught him that life is all about “making wings\,” hence\, the name of his website: Making Wings. Indeed\, Bill’s philosophy–rooted in years of practical study and life experience–is simple: “The most important thing you can do is to make wings for yourself and fly to places that fulfill your potential\, that allow you to develop your unique gifts\, and that open you up to a world of possibilities.” \n  \nRECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: The Impact of 500 Years of Colonialism on the Abenaki and Wabanki Tribes with Anne Jennison
DESCRIPTION:The “People of the Dawnland” (Abenaki/Wabanaki) of New Hampshire and the Northeast are the first Indigenous peoples in North America to have had contact with Europeans.  In this presentation\, Anne Jennison examines how European colonization of North America impacted generations of Abenaki/Wabanaki people and highlights the ways in which the Abenaki/Wabanaki peoples have acted as agents of their own change through education\, self-advocacy\, and efforts to revitalize their languages and traditional arts\, as well as by working with archeologists\, anthropologists\, and scientists to recover and reveal more about their history and traditional knowledge. \nThis program is offered in collaboration with the Bacon Free Library\, the Groton Public Library\, and the Natick Historical Society. \nPLEASE REGISTER HERE FOR THE ZOOM LINK. \n  \nAbout the Speaker\nAnne Jennison is a traditional Native American storyteller and historian of European and Abenaki heritage.  While Anne’s storytelling skills have been polished by more than 30 years of experience sharing Indigenous lesson stories with audiences of all kinds\, she also believes that her growth and development as a human being has been deeply influenced by internalizing the content of the Northeastern lesson stories that she tells.  With Master Degrees in both storytelling and history\, Anne also brings a wealth of cultural and historical knowledge to enrich her retelling of timeless Northeast Woodlands Native American stories.  Anne is listed on the New Hampshire Traditional Artists Roster as a traditional Native American storyteller & craftsperson and now also has two presentation programs available through the Humanities To Go\, a program offered by NH Humanities. \nAdditionally\, Anne is the current Vice Chair of the NH Commission on Native American Affairs and is also a member of the the Indigenous NH Collaborative Collective\, an Affiliate Faculty member for the University of New Hampshire Native American and Indigenous Studies (NAIS) Minor\, and a co-creator of the “People of the Dawnland” interpretive exhibit about the Abenaki/Wabanaki peoples at Strawbery Banke Museum in Portsmouth\, NH.  Anne continues to act as a consultant for the museum’s ongoing Abenaki Heritage Initiative — a plan to develop and sustain exhibits and events at Strawbery Banke Museum that focus on the history and culture of the Abenaki\, Indigenous peoples of New Hampshire and the Northeast\, both past and present. \n  \nRECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: Discussing “The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook” with author Becky Libourel Diamond
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever tasted a sugar plum?  You’ve likely heard of them–thanks to the famous holiday poem A Visit from St. Nicholas by Clement Clarke Moore–but do you know what a sugar plum is?  You may be surprised to find out that they are not sugar-dusted plums (they are small\, oval hard candies).  This Gilded Age holiday sweet was pushed to the back of the pantry as America moved into the 20th century. \nJoin author Becky Libourel Diamond as she discusses her new book\, The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook: Cookies and Treats from America’s Golden Era\, with all of the details that will go straight to your foodie heart.  The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook bridges the past and present\, bringing back sugar plums and other confections not typically found in modern cookbooks\, while revisiting some beloved favorites. \nPlease note that this is a discussion and NOT a cooking demo. \nPLEASE REGISTER HERE FOR THE ZOOM LINK. \n\nAbout the Book\nWith origins that date back to the 19th century and even earlier\, the recipes in The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook have been adapted for today’s ingredients and appliances\, allowing cooks to recreate them in their own modern kitchens.  Each recipe provides a colorful glimpse into the era\, featuring the fascinating history behind each cookie\, its ingredients\, and its baking methods. There are also sidebars throughout\, offering tidbits of Christmas lore of the era. \nAbout the Author\nA food writer\, librarian\, and historian\, Becky Libourel Diamond has had a varied career combining writing and research.  In The Thousand Dollar Dinner\, Becky tells the unique story of a 19th century “Top Chef”-style competition between Philadelphia restauranteur James Parkinson and the Delmonico family of New York.  In Mrs. Goodfellow: The Story of America’s First Cooking School\, Becky offers a delicious profile of a successful 19th century pastry chef who also ran an innovative cooking school for young women.

SUMMARY:Peter Mulvey
DESCRIPTION:Peter Mulvey has been a songwriter\, road-dog\, raconteur\, and almost-poet since before he can remember. In 1989 he spent a year in Ireland\, busking on the streets of Dublin and hitchhiking to whatever gigs he could find. Back stateside\, he spent a couple years gigging through the bars of his native Midwest before taking off for Boston\, where he returned to subway busking and coffeehouses. Small shows led to larger shows\, which eventually led to regional and then national touring. The wheels have not stopped since. \nTwenty albums\, one illustrated book\, thousands of live performances\, a TEDx talk\, a decades-long association with the National Youth Science Camp\, opening tours and gigs for luminaries such as Ani DiFranco\, Greg Brown\, Emmylou Harris and Chuck Prophet\, appearances on NPR\, an annual autumn tour by bicycle\, emceeing festivals\, hosting his own Lamplighter Sessions for years in Boston and in Wisconsin… he has built his life’s work on collaboration\, on an instinct for the eclectic and the vital. \nVisit: petermulvey.com

SUMMARY:Virtual: History Book Club
DESCRIPTION:If you enjoy reading and talking about history\, check out the history book club hosted by the Bacon Free Library and the Natick Historical Society.   Each discussion\, led by the director of the Natick Historical Society\, is held over Zoom\, so you can join from the comfort of your home.   Copies of each book (regular print\, large print\, & audio) are available to check out from the Bacon Free Library.   Or you may order your own copy if you prefer to pick up at another library. \n  \nThis month\, join us for a virtual discussion of The Name of War: King Philip’s War and the origins of American identity by Jill Lepore. \nKing Philip’s War\, the excruciating racial war—colonists against Indigenous peoples—that erupted in New England in 1675\, was\, in proportion to population\, the bloodiest in American history… Telling the story of what may have been the bitterest of American conflicts\, and its reverberations over the centuries\, Lepore has enabled us to see how the ways in which we remember past events are as important in their effect on our history as were the events themselves. – Penguin Random House \n  \nFor details on how to attend this virtual meeting via Zoom\, please contact  director@natickhistoricalsociety.org \nThe Zoom link to the discussion will be sent at a later date.

SUMMARY:TCAN Players: Puffs\, or\, Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic
DESCRIPTION:The TCAN Players return with their production of PUFFS\, or\, Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic – a play written by Matt Cox\, and directed at TCAN by Danielle Woods. \nFor seven years\, a certain boy wizard went to a certain Wizard School and conquered evil. \nThis\, however\, is not his story. \nThis is the story of the young wizards of Hufflepuff House… who just happened to be there too. \nPUFFS is a play for anyone who has never been destined to save the world! This clever show “never goes more than a minute without a laugh” (Nerdist) giving you a new look at a familiar adventure from the perspective of three potential heroes just trying to place fourth at a very dangerous magic school for kids. Overlooked and underestimated\, the Puffs are a perky\, well-meaning\, loyal group of outsiders with a thing for badgers. Their “hilariously heartfelt!” (Metro) and epic journey takes the classic story to new places and reimagines what a hero can be. \nCONTENT ADVISORY\nPUFFS\, like the source material it parodies\, can be considered PG-13. It features some adult language and situations. We leave it up to parents to decide for themselves if this show is right for those under the age of 13\, younger wizards may learn some new curses. \nDirected by Danielle Woods\nProduced by Amanda Greenslet and Dick Mandel \nOUR CAST \nWayne Hopkins – Scott Salley (Framingham)\nOliver Rivers – Sophia Kelley (Littleton)\nMegan Jones – Emily Isaac (Somerville)\nNarrator – Kirsty Vitarelli (Natick)\nErnie Mac\, A Certain Potions Teacher – Paul Antico (Cohasset)\nFirst Headmaster\, Professor McG – Cathy Merlo (Wellesley)\nJ Finch Fletchley\, Uncle Dave – Liv Tambascio (Boston)\nLianne\, Hannah\, Ginny – Liv Skerry (Holliston)\nSally Perks\, Blondo Malfoy – Tara Boudreau (Brighton)\nSusie Bones\, Harry\, Colin – Camryn Hafner (Somerville)\nCedric\, Mr Voldy – Jessica Moss (Newtonville)\nHannah\, Ensemble – Ann Springer (Natick)\nHelga\, Ensemble – Ellis Lennon (Hopkinton) \nPERFORMANCES \nFriday\, November 7\, 2025 | 7:30pm\nSaturday\, November 8\, 2025 | 7:30pm\nSunday\, November 9\, 2025 | 2:00pm\nThursday\, November 13\, 2025 | 7:30pm\nFriday\, November 14\, 2025 | 7:30pm\nSaturday\, November 15\, 2025 | 7:30pm\nSunday\, November 16\, 2025 | 2:00pm

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: Human-ish with Author Justin Gregg
DESCRIPTION:Why do we apologize to our cats\, feel guilty throwing away childhood toys\, or find ourselves bonding with our robot vacuum?  Scientist and bestselling author Justin Gregg (If Nietzsche Were a Narwhal) reveals how one of humanity’s oldest psychological quirks secretly influences nearly every decision we make. Drawing on cutting-edge research from his new book Human-ish (Little\, Brown\, 2025)\, Justin explores our universal tendency to see human-like qualities in everything around us—and shows how understanding this bias can transform our relationships with animals\, technology\, and each other.  \n  \nThis program is hosted by the Bacon Free Library in collaboration with Groton Public Library. \n  \nPLEASE REGISTER HERE FOR THE ZOOM LINK.
