Acton Discovery Museum Presentation

Acton Discovery Museum Visits 1st Graders

Ms. Allison, from the Acton Discovery Museum, visited the first grade class and helped students discover properties of light and color using flashlights, prisms, and colored acetates.

Spinning tops and fun experiments engaged students in thoughtful dialogue about how colors can be mixed and enhanced.

Acton Discovery Museum Presentation

This program was supported in part by a grant from the Sherborn Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency. It was also sponsored by Enrichment and would not be possible without your contributions to the CSA.

Meredith Willson's The Music Man

The Music Man

One of the most cherished American classics, THE MUSIC MAN, marches onto the stage at Dover-Sherborn’s Mudge Auditorium. Join us for this timeless, funny, warm, romantic six-time, Tony Award-winning musical comedy that has been entertaining audiences since 1957. The story is of the fast-talking salesman, Harold Hill, who plans to con the good folks of River City, Iowa, into believing that their children can play music. Things start to go awry when the small town librarian, Marian, gets involved and changes the tune.

Don’t miss this family-friendly story to be shared with every generation. Show dates are Thursday, March 16th at 6:30pm, Friday, March 17th at 7:00pm, a Saturday matinee on March 18th at 1:00pm, and an evening performance at 7:00pm.
