Accompanying the live shows are custom created HD videos played behind the band (at venues that provide screen projection). And AWAKEN brings state of the art sound quality to each show\, by providing direct audio signals to venue soundboards and eliminating all stage volume. AWAKEN uses no amps\, nor requires stage monitors. \nVisit: awakenyestribute.com URL:https://natickcenter.org/event/awaken-the-music-of-yes/ LOCATION:The Center for Arts in Natick (TCAN)\, 14 Summer Street\, Natick\, MA\, 01760\, United States CATEGORIES:Performances ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://natickcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/AWAKEN.png ORGANIZER;CN="Center for Arts in Natick (TCAN)":MAILTO:info@tcan.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250621T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250621T150000 DTSTAMP:20260409T132534 CREATED:20250527T135850Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250530T143649Z UID:10007320-1750505400-1750518000@natickcenter.org SUMMARY:Ice Cream Festival: Scoopapalooza 2025 DESCRIPTION:The Charles River Rotary Club\, www.crrclub.org\, invites you to Scoopapalooza\, an ice cream festival raising funds and awareness for important youth scholarship programs as well as local and international non-profits. \nSaturday\, June 21\, 2025\nNatick Common\n11:30am – 3:00pm URL:https://natickcenter.org/event/scoopapalooza-2025-ice-cream-festival/ LOCATION:Natick Common CATEGORIES:Community Events,Fundraising ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://natickcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Scoopapalooza-image.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250621T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250621T130000 DTSTAMP:20260409T132534 CREATED:20250509T164912Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250509T165006Z UID:10006766-1750496400-1750510800@natickcenter.org SUMMARY:Natick Farmers Market DESCRIPTION:The Natick Farmers Market is a year-round program of the Natick Center Cultural District and is open every Saturday from 9 am to 1 pm. \n\nVisit natickfarmersmarket.org for current location and vendors. \nSpring and Summer\nNatick Town Common\nThe intersection of Routes 27 and 135\nNatick \n\nFall and Winter\nCommon Street Spiritual Center\n13 Common Street\nNatick URL:https://natickcenter.org/event/natick-farmers-market-2/2025-06-21/ LOCATION:Natick Common CATEGORIES:Community Events,Featured,FREE ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://natickcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/NatickFarmersMarket.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250619T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250619T223000 DTSTAMP:20260409T132534 CREATED:20250508T193147Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250508T193147Z UID:10007241-1750363200-1750372200@natickcenter.org SUMMARY:Skerryvore DESCRIPTION:Three-time winners of Scotland’s ‘Live Act of the Year’ award\, Skerryvore have evolved from their humble beginnings to become one of the country’s leading forces in a thriving live music scene.

A box office success and cultural touchstone for Led Zeppelin fans\, the soundtrack received a Platinum Award from Atlantic Records. \nThe filming took place during the summer of 1973\, during three nights of concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York City\, with additional footage shot at Shepperton Studios. The film premiered three years later on 20 October 1976 at Cinema I in New York\, on 21 October 1976 at Fox Wilshire in Beverly Hills\, and at Warner West End Cinema in London two weeks later.  It was accompanied by a soundtrack album of the same name. \nOn the morning of 20 July 1973\, during the band’s concert tour of the US\, Peter Grant made contact with American-born director Joe Massot. Massot was already known to Grant as he and his wife had moved into a house in Berkshire in 1970\, where they made friends with their neighbours\, Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and his girlfriend Charlotte Martin. Grant had previously turned down offers by Massot to make a film of the band\, but with the huge success of the band’s current tour\, Grant changed his mind and offered him the job of director. As Grant recalled: \n“It all started in the Sheraton Hotel\, Boston. We’d talked about a film for years and Jimmy had known Joe Massot was interested – so we called them and over they came. It was all very quickly arranged”. \nMusical highlights of the film include “Black Dog\,” “Dazed and Confused\,” “Stairway to Heaven\,” “Whole Lotta Love\,” and “Rain Song\,” performed live at Madison Square Garden. \nDirector: Peter Clifton\, Joe Massot\nCast: Robert Plant\, Jimmy Page\, John Paul Jones\nRating: PG\nRuntime: 2 hours 17 mins\nReleased: 1976\nFormat: Blu Ray\nAudio: 5.1 Surround\nAccessibility: Z-Screen subtitles \nVisit: https: songremainsthesame.com URL:https://natickcenter.org/event/the-song-remains-the-same-1976/ LOCATION:The Center for Arts in Natick (TCAN)\, 14 Summer Street\, Natick\, MA\, 01760\, United States CATEGORIES:Movie Screening ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://natickcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/The-Song-Remains-The-Same.png ORGANIZER;CN="Center for Arts in Natick (TCAN)":MAILTO:info@tcan.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250616T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250616T200000 DTSTAMP:20260409T132534 CREATED:20250519T174408Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250526T170822Z UID:10007313-1750100400-1750104000@natickcenter.org SUMMARY:Virtual: Summer Romance Beach Read Recommendations with Lorelei of Lorelei’s Lit Lair DESCRIPTION:If you know romance\, you probably know Lorelei!  Affectionately referred to as a passionate romance ambassador\, Lorelei has been offering book recommendations through social media since 2010.  In this program\, Lorelei will chat about the books she’s looking forward to reading this summer — the best of romance beach reads!  If your TBR pile isn’t already groaning\, it will be!  Grab a cool drink and join us. \nThis program is sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Public Library and is in collaboration with the Bacon Free Library\, the Chelmsford\, Groton\, and Tewksbury Libraries and is in partnership with a multitude of MA & NH libraries. \nRegister here for the Zoom link \n\nRECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded.

Their mysterious hosts are nowhere to be found—only a chilling recording accuses each guest of a terrible crime. Then\, one by one\, the guests begin to die\, their fates eerily mirroring the verses of a sinister nursery rhyme displayed in the house. \nWith the island cut off by a storm\, suspicion grows as the survivors struggle to understand the method behind the madness. Is the killer among them? Or is there someone—or something—else pulling the strings? \nChristie’s most celebrated and harrowing whodunit is the world’s best-selling mystery and one of the best-selling books of all time. The plot unfolds with taut pacing\, sharp dialogue\, and an atmosphere thick with dread\, exploring themes of morality\, retribution\, and the human psyche under pressure. Its surprise ending\, considered one of the greatest in crime fiction\, will leave audiences breathless. \nPrepare for a night of riveting theatre that proves no sin goes unpunished… and no one is beyond suspicion. \nDirected by Paul Dixon\nProduced by Jeannie Baycroft and Richard Mandel \nCAST\nMr. Rogers – Lou Fuoco (Cambridge)\nMrs. Rogers – Susan Diller (Brookline)\nVera Claythorne – Laura DeCesare (Arlington)\nPhilip Lombard – Eric Cheung (Boston)\nAnthony Marston – Sam Deans (Marlborough)\nWilliam Blore – Dan Henderson (Needham)\nGeneral MacKenzie – Mark Adams (Norwood)\nEmily Brent – Pamela Schweppe (Maynard)\nJustice Wargrave – Julian Willard (Marlborough)\nDr. Armstrong – Bill Novakowski (Ashland) \nPERFORMANCES \nFriday\, June 6\, 2025 | 7:30pm\nSaturday\, June 7\, 2025 | 7:30pm\nSunday\, June 8\, 2025 | 2:00pm\nThursday\, June 12\, 2025 | 7:30pm\nFriday\, June 13\, 2025 | 7:30pm\nSaturday\, June 14\, 2025 | 7:30pm\nSunday\, June 15\, 2025 | 2:00pm URL:https://natickcenter.org/event/tcan-players-present-and-then-there-were-none/ LOCATION:The Center for Arts in Natick (TCAN)\, 14 Summer Street\, Natick\, MA\, 01760\, United States CATEGORIES:Performances ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://natickcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/And-Then-There-Were-None.png ORGANIZER;CN="Center for Arts in Natick (TCAN)":MAILTO:info@tcan.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250604T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250604T210000 DTSTAMP:20260409T132534 CREATED:20250328T192931Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250508T224043Z UID:10007210-1749067200-1749070800@natickcenter.org SUMMARY:Walnut Hill Freshman/Sophomore Theater Revue DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Keiter Center and support our Theater Department Freshmen and Sophomores as they perform a delightful revue!

Randi Minetor\, author of seven books in the nonfiction Death in the National Parks series\, will explore the fatal mistakes people make when they venture into unfamiliar wilderness. Some forget critical steps in their preparation\, forging off into wild lands far too challenging for their level of experience. Some refuse advice\, ignoring warnings from rangers and more seasoned adventurers. Others are simply in the wrong place at the wrong time\, becoming victims of a lightning strike or a falling rock—or ravenous grizzly bears. And some fall prey to human predators. \nRandi will share highlights of her in-depth research and what it reveals about the people who perish in the parks. Most importantly\, she will provide tips on how to avoid your own disaster in a national park. Be ready for your summer vacation plans with this pertinent and\, probably\, humorous presentation! \nThis program is sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Public Library and is in collaboration with the Bacon Free Library and the Chelmsford\, Groton\, and Tewksbury Libraries and is in partnership with a multitude of MA & NH libraries.   \nPlease register here for the Zoom link.  \n  \nAbout the Author\nBorn and raised in Rochester\, NY\, Randi Minetor discovered the backcountry wonders of America’s national parks in 1992 with her husband\, photographer/lighting designer Nic Minetor. That first trip changed her life\, and by 2000\, the Minetors had pledged to see all 391 (now 429) national parks in their lifetimes. They found a way to subsidize this passion in 2006\, when they began writing and photographing books on the parks for The Globe Pequot Press (now Rowman & Littlefield). Today Randi has written more than 90 books\, including seven books in the nonfiction Death in the National Parks series\, ten hiking guides in New York State\, several bird-finding guides\, and even reference books on health topics. To date\, they have visited 354 national parks. In addition\, Nic’s photography appears in eight Quick Reference Guides to the Birds\, Trees\, and Wildflowers of New York City and New York State\, and The Trees and Wildflowers of the Mid-Atlantic States. The Minetors live in Rochester\, NY. \n  \nNote: This program will be recorded and a link will be sent to all registrants soon after the program. It will be available on YouTube for one month.
