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: Wild Turkeys in Massachusetts with Mass Audubon
DESCRIPTION:The wild turkey\, synonymous with Thanksgiving and iconic within our region\, has not always held such a stable place in Massachusetts.

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.

SUMMARY:TCAN Annual Benefit 2025
DESCRIPTION:TCAN Benefit 2025 continues a tradition of support for the positive impact the arts have on our community. Proceeds from the Annual Benefit support TCAN’s nonprofit mission to present artistic programming and community outreach initiatives throughout the year. Through subsidized tickets to world-class performances\, scholarship opportunities\, hosting of local nonprofit events and more\, TCAN is dedicated to providing affordable and accessible arts programming that everyone can enjoy. Sponsors and patrons of TCAN Annual Benefit 2025 play an important role in supporting the TCAN mission. \nAs TCAN celebrates its 28th year as a community-based arts organization\, TCAN Benefit 2025 features a performance by acclaimed composer and performing artist Bruce Hornsby. \nAbout Bruce Hornsby \nBruce Hornsby has built one of the most diverse\, collaborative\, and adventurous careers in contemporary music. Drawing from a vast wellspring of American musical traditions\, the singer/pianist/composer/bandleader has created a large and accomplished body of work and employed a vast array of stylistic approaches. Throughout this period\, Hornsby has maintained the integrity\, virtuosity\, and artistic curiosity that have been hallmarks of his work from the start. Hornsby and his band The Range’s first album\, The Way It Is (1986)\, was steadily and slowly building in popularity in the U.S. when\, in August\, the title track exploded on BBC Radio One in England\, then Europe\, the rest of the world\, and finally in the United States. \nHis three Grammy wins (along with his ten Grammy losses!) typify the diversity of his career: Best New Artist (1986) as leader of Bruce Hornsby and the Range\, Best Bluegrass Recording (1989) for a version of his old Range hit “The Valley Road” that appeared on the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s Will The Circle Be Unbroken Volume Two\, and a shared award with Branford Marsalis in 1993 for Best Pop Instrumental for “Barcelona Mona”\, a song written and performed for the 1992 Olympic Games. \nVisit: brucehornsby.com \nSponsorship Opportunities \nSponsors of TCAN Benefit 2025 receive premium seating for the concert\, invitations to exclusive pre- and post-show events\, special benefits\, and recognition for your support. For more information\, contact TCAN Development Manager Nicola Anderson at (508) 433-6140.
