The Umbrella Arts Center Learning How to Read by Moonlight
40 Stow St
Concord, MA
United States
Contact: John Penney

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.

Songs for a New World

6/20/25 7:30 pm to 6/22/25 2:00 pm EDT
The Performing Arts Center Songs for a New World
51 Walden Street
Concord, MA
United States
Contact: Box Office

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 blends pop, gospel, and jazz with tight harmonies and darling vocals that transports its audience from the deck of a Spanish sailing ship bound for a new land to the ledge of a New York penthouse.
