Residents Event Calendar

FRANCISCO GOYA
Known as the last of the Great Masters and the first of the Modern Masters. As Spain’s conscience and chronicler, Goya documented the Royal Court with a sarcastic edge born of justice.
A versatile artist, he created paintings, etchings & lithographs, tapestries, and frescos.

It’s Match #5 of our 6-game series with resident teams vying for the championship! Each team plays for charity so our evening of fun also makes a difference! Come join us!

Carleton Kendrick presents “Telling Memories.” Jewish asylum seekers from the Soviet Union tell inconsistent stories. What does this say about the nature of memory? Should we trust our memories and the oral histories of others? Profound questions to explore! Carleton Kendrick has been in private practice as a family therapist and has worked as a consultant for more than 20 years.

“Climate change and Our National Parks” is the topic for our March 8 Women’s Circle Breakfast. Our speaker is Chuck Arning, an Interpretive Park Ranger/AV Specialist for the National Park Service in the Blackstone River Valley. Ranger Arning will discuss the significance of the impact of our changing climate on our national parks as he talks about the interrelationship between our changing climate, our immediate environment, and our historic sites. Ranger Arning has produced over 100 television videos focusing on history and culture, preservation, and oral histories of Blackstone Valley residents. He produces, writes, and hosts “Along the Blackstone,” which has aired on the History Channel and is the recipient of many national awards.

“Becoming Dr. Ruth” is a charming tour de-force written by Mark St. German and starring Alice Springer as iconic sex therapist radio personality Dr. Ruth K. Westheimer. To a multitude of radio and television admirers she became known simply as “Dr Ruth,” and her diminutive stature and thick, European blend of an accent made her an instant media caricature of herself, often imitated by many throughout her years of peak popularity. However, in this intimate one woman show, Springer tries less to imitate the personality and instead tries more to relate to the audience St.
Germain’s study of the doctor’s life and her unusual meteoric rise to fame.

When it’s time for the ‘wearin’ o’ the green’, it’s time to enjoy an afternoon with Kevin Farley, the Irish Music Guy! Kevin has mastered the wonderful lilting soul-soothing melodies of the Celtic tradition and is proficient on 12 different instruments. His vocal richness only enhances his message of love for friends, family, and tradition. Join us at 2:00 in the theatre.

During a year when they lived in Ireland, Southgate residents Jackie and Ed Cotter visited and photographed many historical buildings, monuments, and ruins throughout the Irish Republic.
In this slide show they will share with you some images of selected places that illustrate stages in Ireland’s 6,000-year history.

A true favorite here at Southgate, Dan Gabel and The Abletones is an authentic 18-piece Big Band, specializing in the music of the 1930s and 40s. Bandleader Dan Gabel has played with the Glenn
Miller Orchestra the Tommy Dorsey and Hal McIntyre Orchestras, and is considered an expert on the big band era.

band era, dazzling audiences with her vocal precision and pizazz. Celebrate St. Pat’s with the Abletones!

This is the third chapter of Gary’s six part series entitled “Jefferson and Jackson: The Presidency Democratized” examining the early years of the Republic from the election of Thomas Jefferson in 1800 to the close of the Age of Jackson in 1850. Jefferson described his election as the “revolution of 1800” while the Jackson election broke the Virginia-Massachusetts monopoly on the White House. Major themes will include territorial expansion, slavery, the rise of political parties, the War of 1812 and the development of a national economy.

American cellist Alisa Weilerstein joins French conductor François-Xavier Roth for the world premiere of the BSO-commissioned un despertar, for cello and orchestra by German composer Matthias Pintscher. Opening the program is Hector Berlioz’s alternately romantic and swashbuckling Le Corsaire Overture. The rehearsal concludes with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6, Pastoral. Previous registration required.

Wingmasters is a partnership of two people dedicated to increasing public understanding and appreciation of North American Birds of Prey. Julie Ann Collier and Jim Parks are both licensed raptor rehabilitators. Together they care for injured birds of prey. Most of the birds can ultimately be released back into the wild, but in some cases the birds are left permanently handicapped. Julie and Jim are further licensed to provide a home for these raptors and use them for educational purposes. Join Julie and Jim and their “flock” for an educational lecture on our winged friends.

Making her Southgate debut, talented, charismatic jazz singer with a roaring voice, Wendee Glick “arrived” in 2002 with a strong debut album and an impressive pedigree in the arts. Based in the New England area, Glick grew to love jazz from her mother’s career as a singer. She joined the choral troupe that put on the America’s Youth in Concert tour, and soon was at the University of Lowell studying music. Growing a fondness for jazz legends like Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughn, Glick began to perform around her area and was soon a fixture in several New England jazz clubs.
