“Dad’s at Work and Mom Can’t Drive” by Shrewsbury native Henry Grampietro is a trip back to the nostalgic fifties when you could go to the movies for 25 cents and see a double feature. An innocent time when all we had to worry about was being home for five o’clock because supper was on the table. This is a look back at a simpler time. A time when mothers were home and dads went to work. A time that has long since passed.

Can women have it all? The collective wisdom says no. Our guest speaker this morning, Michelle Mercier, the founder and CEO of Create Honesty, has some healthy and viable alternatives. The title of her presentation is “Create Honesty: A Lesson in Resilience, Worthiness, and Authenticity.” Have you ever found yourself at a point where you didn’t recognize the person you’ve become? Ever feel you weren’t in the driver’s seat of life? Create Honesty began as one woman’s quest for authenticity. Let Create Honesty help you shake off the “shoulds” of the world and speak your truth. Michelle has an undergraduate degree from Salve Regina University in theater and music and a Masters Degree from Boston University in Nonprofit Management. She has spent the last 15 years working in the nonprofit and for-profit sectors with clients such as eBay and American Airlines. All are welcome to the presentation.

The name was chosen because Westborough was the 100th town incorporated in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the chorus was formed in 1949 by the Westborough Woman’s Club, as a way for women to connect through music. Members come from all kinds of musical backgrounds. Some have formal training or play an instrument; others have less experience. Some read music, some don’t. ALL enjoy singing four-part harmony in a relaxing and fun environment and sharing their music with you!

Led by Executive Director Elaine Crane, GWO performs mainstage operas, concerts, and other musical events as well as producing touring operas for students. Most of the artists who perform with GWO are professionally trained singers who attended various conservatories and music programs in the area, and then settled down locally to make their homes in New England. The company combines the excellent training of the classical music world, with the spirit of community theatre, resulting in a company of committed and talented artists who work collaboratively together to create beautiful art in our own community. This evening’s performance is a ticketed event open to the public. ALL SOUTHGATE RESIDENTS ARE ADMITTED FREE OF CHARGE at the door.
