Event

The Day My Life Changed

This is the fifth performance in the Voices on the Green series. The theme for this show is "The Day My Life Changed." A rich variety of personal stories and musical numbers will explore that common theme from many different perspectives and in many different voices.

For the adults, June 8's program will feature local speakers Dan Fenn, Brenda Prusak, Paul Brouillette, Megan Ladd, Don Yansen, Amy Kvaal, Lisa Maria Steinberg, Jim Jones, Deborah Beers-Jones, and youth poets Elizabeth Slein and Lillian J. Ellmore. Each of them has a great story to tell about a critical transformation in their lives, a day (or so) when the arc of their lives changed forever.

Musicians will be led by First Parish's music director Rip Jackson, and will include David Meharry, Chris Hess, Amy Johnson, and Chelsea Cannon.

For this June 8th evening there will be one important new addition: a complementary event just for children. For them, there will be a professional storyteller and also interactive and creative activities that provide entertainment and thoughtful play related to the same theme as their parents. This addition is intended to provide a new option for parents and their children to have an (early) night out together, one that they can all talk about later. Children may, of course, stay with their parents in the main session if that is preferred.

Doors open at 6:30pm. An intermission will allow for conversation with refreshments and music.
