Spark your acting imagination by choosing short stories and bringing them to life on a classroom stage. Through improv and creative acting games, try out different characters, create sound effects, and reinvent stories to be your own. Each week, we will explore a new way of telling stories.

Discover new places to hike and hear tales about Native American settlers and esteemed writers such as Alcott and Emerson. We’ll walk five to six miles each week, rain or shine. Enjoy the camaraderie of fellow walkers as we learn and have fun, all while taking in the beauty of nature and local history. Please note: Locations vary each week and details will be emailed. All walks meet rain or shine, please dress for the weather.

Boston’s Chinatown is filled with so many little shops and restaurants—it’s easy to get lost amid its colorful window displays and enticing aromas. Our journey begins in the heart of Chinatown, where we’ll learn about its history while stopping at a few shops and bakeries for samples. Next, we’ll visit a Chinese herbal shop to examine traditional Chinese medicinal remedies before touring a Chinese market to explore exotic produce and other unique offerings. We’ll also try dim sum from a traditional and popular restaurant. Please note: Dietary restrictions CANNOT be accommodated on this food tour.
