SUMMARY:Colonial Chorus Players Celebrates 65 Years of Theater and Community with Anniversary Fundraising Gala
DESCRIPTION:READING\, MA – For 65 years\, Colonial Chorus Players has brought theater\, creativity\, and community together in Reading and beyond. The organization will celebrate that milestone with its 65th Anniversary Fundraising Gala\, an evening dedicated to honoring CCP’s history while supporting its future. \nThe gala will take place on Saturday\, November 7 from 6–10 p.m. at Teresa’s Prime Steakhouse in North Reading. Guests will enjoy a cocktail hour\, catered dinner\, live entertainment\, a special program\, raffle prizes\, and dancing. Members of the cast of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee will also perform during the event. \nThe celebration will bring together CCP members\, patrons\, community leaders\, board members\, and theater friends past and present for an evening celebrating the vital part Colonial Chorus Players has played in the local arts community for over six decades. \nTickets are $65 per person. Guests are encouraged to wear semi-formal or cocktail attire\, with optional 1960s-inspired touches or sapphire blue in honor of CCP’s 65th anniversary. Ample parking is available on site. \nAlthough the gala is a celebration\, it is also an important fundraiser for Colonial Chorus Players. Ticket sales alone do not cover the full cost of producing theater and maintaining CCP’s historic performance home\, the Old Hose House Theatre in Reading. Funds raised through the gala will help support CCP’s annual operating costs\, productions and events\, technical and stagecraft needs\, and the ongoing care and preservation of the Hose House. \n“After 65 years\, we have so much to celebrate and to look forward to\,” says CCP’s president\, Luisiana Cruz\, “This gala is an opportunity to celebrate the incredible community that has made CCP what it is while helping ensure that this organization and the Hose House remain a home for theater and creativity for generations to come.” \nThose interested in attending can purchase tickets or make an additional donation through the gala’s ticket page at givebutter.com/CCPFundraisingGala. Those unable to attend can still make a donation through the same page. \nFor more information\, please contact Colonial Chorus Players at gala@ccp1961.org or visit www.ccp1961.org.

SUMMARY:Why Gardening Is Murder (And Why You Should Come Hear About It)
DESCRIPTION:A garden talk unlike any you’ve heard before\n\nAuthor and Humorist to Share a Lighthearted Look at Gardening\, Complete with Practical Advice\, on November 12\nReading\, MA — Why is so much gardening information on the internet so awful? Why is it impossible to do just one thing in the garden? Why should you never\, ever compute the value of your labor when you garden? And why do we buy garden benches when none of us ever sits in them? \nThese are the questions that keep Neal Sanders awake at night. Fortunately for the rest of us\, he has decided to share his answers. \nJoin Us\nThe Reading Garden Club presents “Gardening is Murder” with Neal Sanders on Thursday\, November 12\, 11:00 am at St. Agnes Parish Center\, 184 Woburn Street\, Reading. \nA Gardener’s Spouse Speaks\nNeal Sanders is married to an avid and accomplished gardener\, which means his official duties in the garden consist of digging holes and moving rocks. That arrangement has given him plenty of time to observe gardeners in their natural habitat and to take careful notes on their foibles. \nIn “Gardening Is Murder\,” Neal offers a husband’s-eye view of the gardening life. He gardens less out of an abiding love of horticulture than out of love for his spouse\, and that perspective is what makes his talk so fresh. Filled with humor and insight\, he guarantees it will be unlike any gardening lecture you have ever attended. \nGood Advice\, Bad Advice\, and a Few Laughs\nDon’t mistake this for a talk that is all laughs and no substance. Good horticultural advice is dispensed along the way\, and bad advice gets thoroughly debunked. You’ll leave with a few practical ideas for your own garden and\, quite possibly\, a new appreciation for what is going on in the mind of the person who is helping you carry the compost. \nWhether you are the gardener\, the helpmate\, or a bit of both\, you will recognize yourself\, your partner\, and your neighbors in Neal’s observations. Bring your spouse. Bring your garden club friends. Bring anyone who has ever muttered\, “I’ll just do one quick thing out there\,” and emerged four hours later covered in mulch. \nCome for the laughs\, stay for the horticultural wisdom\, and find out why Neal says gardening may be a matter of life and death\, or at least of aching backs and unused benches. \nAbout the Speaker\nNeal Sanders is the author of 17 mysteries\, many of which are set in garden clubs or horticultural worlds\, and all of which feature strong\, independent women. He also writes the blog The Principal Undergardener\, which looks at gardening through the eyes of a non-gardener who loves gardens. His popular talk is adapted from that widely read blog. Neal and his wife\, Betty\, live in Medfield\,
