Event Description

While his mother struggles to earn money in New York City and his father waits alone in Manila for their daily phone calls, six-year-old Eddie learns English from his imaginary friend. Between the War on Drugs in the Philippines and the anti-immigrant movement in the United States threatening their humanity, will this undocumented family be able to pursue their dreams and address unspoken truths? A musical and multilingual journey of childlike wonder, Gaven D. Trinidad’s “Learning How to Read by Moonlight” is equal parts playful, poignant, and hella Pinoy. To spotlight Boston’s own community leaders and activism, a new narrator (a fellow artist, community organizer, or elected official) joins the storytelling every night. “Learning How to Read by Moonlight” is spoken in English and Tagalog with subtitles. All tickets are Pay-What-You-Want! May 16 – 24, 2025 at Boston Center for the Arts Plaza Theatre (Boston, MA) May 29 – June 1, 2025 at Pao Arts Center (Boston, MA) June 5-June 8, 2025 at The Umbrella Arts Center (Concord, MA) Find information and tickets at: https://companyone.org/learning-how-to-read-by-moonlight/

    When Thoreau Left Walden Pond: Several More Lives to Live

    I left the woods for as good a reason as I went there. Perhaps it seemed to me that I had several more lives to live and could not spare any more time for that one.On September 6, 1847, Henry David Thoreau left his one-room house at Walden Pond and returned to Concord. Living at Walden for over two years had been a life-changing experience for the thirty-year-old Thoreau. Wanting to be a writer, he went to the pond to write, and while there he did exactly that. He produced two drafts of A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers. He wrote one lecture about Thomas Carlyle and another about living at the pond called “A History of Myself.” He also penned an essay titled “Ktaadn” about going to Maine in the summer of 1846. And he wrote in his journal almost daily. But what would he do once he was back in Concord?
