Event Description

Written by Jason Robert Brown, "Songs for a New World" is somewhere between a musical and song cycle - a series of songs all connected by a theme: the moment of decision. Characters range from the mother of a Revolutionary soldier awaiting the end of the brutal war to a young man in the Bronx dreaming of becoming a famous basketball player to a forlorn and neglected Mrs. Claus lamenting as Christmas approaches. A diverse cast and rousing score blend pop, gospel, and jazz with tight harmonies and daring vocals that transport its audience from the deck of a Spanish sailing ship bound for a new land to the ledge of a New York penthouse. Performances: June 20 at 7:30 pm/ June 21 at 2:00 pm & 7:30 pm/ June 22 at 2:00 pm Tickets: $20 with reserved seating                   Visit: concordplayers.org The Concord Players are proud to present this as part of Concord's 250th Celebration

    A Tale of Two Authors: Charles Dickens’ Influence on Louisa May Alcott

    Imagine admiring an author while you are growing up and then ending up in the same stratosphere of success as them. That is what happened to Louisa May Alcott, who was described by contemporaries as an ardent and enthusiastic admirer of Charles Dickens—a writer two decades her senior. Both Dickens and Alcott wrote novels, short stories, and essays; both loved the stage and pursued amateur acting; both integrated social issues into their writings; both went from using pen names to real names; and both became household names. By 1893, only Dickens’ novels were more circulated than Alcott’s in United States public libraries.
