Event Description

The Umbrella Stage Company presents the New England premiere of Mohegan theatre-maker Madeline Sayet’s ground-breaking one-woman show, Where We Belong.   With great humor, insight, and imaginative storytelling, the autobiographical play weaves together Indigenous history, Shakespeare, colonialism, cultural legacy, the power of language, and legend. It recounts Sayet’s 2015 journey to England to pursue a PhD in Shakespeare, in the shadow of the Brexit vote. Moving between nations that have failed to reckon with their ongoing roles in colonialism, she grapples with what it means to remain or leave her own home at Mohegan, but finds comfort following in the footsteps of her ancestors who traveled to England in the 1700s to help her people. Performed for the first time by an artist other than Sayet herself, the show has been completely restaged by fellow director and playwright Tara Moses. Its staging in Concord during the semiquincentennial of the “shot heard round the world” raises timely questions of whose stories about history are told, how, by whom, and in what language. The show runs Feb. 28-Mar. 23, including a special Student Group Matinee Wed. Mar. 12 at 4PM, and select performances will feature engagement opportunities including optional pre-show catered dinners on Thursdays, childcare through The Umbrella’s Kid-Care program for parents interested in attending the March 9 matinee, and others. The Umbrella is ADA accessible, a proud partner in the Massachusetts Cultural Council’s EBT Card-to-Culture program, and provides free parking and free admission to its visual arts galleries. See https://TheUmbrellaArts.org/WWB for more information. Student: $20 Senior: $45 Adult: $48

    The Nature We All Call Home: Robert Macfarlane to Accept the Thoreau Prize for Nature Writing

    Concord’s status as a Mecca for nature writers gains an international dimension this summer. The renowned British writer Robert Macfarlane will accept the 2025 Thoreau Prize on June 7 at the Trinitarian Congregational Church in Concord. The honor is given annually by the Thoreau Society to a writer whose work embodies Henry David Thoreau’s commitment to “speak a word for Nature.” In this year of celebrating the 250th anniversary of Concord’s role in the American Revolution, Robert Macfarlane will visit Concord to spark another revolution in how we see the world around us, calling on all of us to preserve our most precious legacy – the Nature we all call home.
