SUMMARY:Retracing History: WWII Stories with Vernon Chandler
DESCRIPTION:Join the Reading Historical Commission for a compelling talk\, A WWII European Tour\, with former resident Vernon Chandler. Mr. Chandler will discuss the multi-country journey through Europe he took to trace the footsteps of his first cousin\, Pvt. Kenneth Miller\, who was killed in Germany in 1944.   \nKenneth was only 19 years old when he died. Despite the best efforts of his mother\, Annie\, his remains were never recovered. \nMr. Chandler was so deeply moved by Kenneth and Annie’s story that he took a two-week World War II\, 1800-mile driving tour of Europe in September 2022. This tour included visits to 6 American Battle Monuments Commission cemeteries and many historic WWII sites in Paris\, Normandy\, Belgium\, the Netherlands\, Luxembourg\, Germany\, and Austria. \nOn his trip\, Mr. Chandler uncovered information about Kenneth and his unit\, the 743rd Tank Battalion. He was also able to locate the place where the tank-on-tank battle occurred\, which took Kenneth’s life on October 18\, 1944.  \nMr. Chandler will also share the stories of his visits to the WWII graves and memorials of other Massachusetts soldiers\, including some from Reading. \nMr. Chandler has prepared a multimedia historical presentation\, which he will give on Saturday\, January 11\, 2025\, at 1 PM in the Community Room at the Reading Public Library (64 Middlesex Avenue). \nMr. Chandler believes his once-in-a-lifetime experience is only meaningful if he shares it with others.

SUMMARY:Quannapowitt Players Presents Lauren Gundersons’ “The Revolutionists”
DESCRIPTION:January 24 – February 8!\nReading\, MA — Four beautiful\, badass women lose their heads in this irreverent\, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Playwright Olympe de Gouges\, assassin Charlotte Corday\, former queen (and fan of ribbons) Marie Antoinette\, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out\, murder Marat\, and try to beat back the extremist insanity in 1793 Paris. This grand and dream-tweaked comedy is about violence and legacy\, art and activism\, feminism and terrorism\, compatriots and chosen sisters\, and how we go about changing the world. It’s a true story. Or total fiction. Or a play about a play. Or a raucous resurrection…that ends in a song and a scaffold. \nContent warnings: the play has references to violence\, colonialism\, and racism. \nDirected by Michelle Fisher and featuring Allison Rudmann Putnam\, June Dever\, Shawna Ciampa\, and Nancy Finn\, “The Revolutionists” will open on January 24 and run through February 8. \nSingle tickets are $25\, $23 for Seniors/Students\, and can be purchased online at qptheater.com/box-office/. Or\, for reservations\, call the QP Box Office at (781) 942-2212. Checks and cash are accepted at performances\, as well as Credit Cards for a small fee. Friday and Saturday performances are at 8 PM. Sunday performances are at 2 PM.

SUMMARY:Holocaust Survivor to Share Her Story in Reading
DESCRIPTION:On March 3\, 2025\, Reading will bear witness to history as 97-year-old Auschwitz survivor Helga Melmed shares her harrowing story of survival and resilience. Hosted by Chabad of Wakefield\, the event will take place at the Reading Memorial High School and is open to the community. \nMelmed was just five years old when her schoolteacher in Berlin called her a “dirty Jew” and beat her hands. She was ten when Kristallnacht shattered Jewish homes and businesses. By thirteen\, she was deported with her parents to the Lodz Ghetto\, where starvation and forced labor claimed her father’s life. She was later sent to Auschwitz\, then to brutal labor camps near Hamburg\, and finally endured a death march to Bergen-Belsen. Weighing just 46 pounds\, riddled with typhus\, typhoid fever\, and tuberculosis\, she was barely conscious when the British liberated the camp on April 15\, 1945.

SUMMARY:Quannapowitt Players Present “Don Quixote De La Center”
DESCRIPTION:Quannapowitt Players Presents David Barefords’ “Don Quixote De La Center” March 21st – April 5th!\nIt’s Halloween at a group home for senior citizens in the rural town of La Center\, Washington. Donald Quintero\, an aging resident with dementia\, is dressed in an improvised suit of armor for a Halloween party. He embodies a knight from the olden days\, seeing the world around him as a land of castles\, giants\, fair ladies\, and evil sorcerers. Initially\, his behavior is harmless and even therapeutic for the other residents\, and the staff goes along with Don’s fantasy\, much to the concern of his practical-minded son\, Sam. However\, Don’s delusions of knightly valor start causing unintentional harm\, such as engaging in wheelchair jousts against imaginary giants and battling non-existent foes. This leaves us pondering whether the remaining fragments of Donald Quintero’s identity are genuinely better than the fantasy of Don Quixote. \nContent warnings: the play has references to dementia and loss. \nDirected by Eric Roberts\, and featuring Shawn Maguire\, Jon Nuquist\, Becky Ruccio\, Linda Burtt\, Phyllis Uloth\, Victor Brandalise\, Tofer Carlson\, Allison Rollings\, Ken Tucci\, and Samantha Moon\, “Don Quixote De La Center” will open March 21st and run through April 5th. \nSingle tickets are $25\, $23 for Seniors/Students\, and can be purchased online at qptheater.com/box-office/. Or for reservations call the QP Box Office at (781) 942-2212. Checks and cash are accepted at performances\, as well as Credit Cards for a small fee. Friday and Saturday performances are at 8PM. Sunday performances are at 2PM.
