See “The Addams Family!” at L-S
Tickets are now on sale for the LSB Players’ production of “The Addams Family!” — a hilarious and irreverent musical about a loving yet macabre family set in their ghoulish ways, as they face the prospect of their daughter/sister, Wednesday, marrying someone far too normal for their taste. Performances are in the Kirshner Auditorium at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School on Wednesday through Saturday, Nov. 17–20 (all shows at 7:30 p.m.). Masks are required.
Directed and choreographed by Carly Evans, music directed by Michael Bunting, and conducted by Tom Grandprey. Reserve tickets by sending an email to LSBTickets@gmail.com. Please indicate the date of the performance you wish to see and the number of student/senior ($8) and or adult ($15) tickets you would like to reserve. Reserved tickets will be held at the will-call table on the night of each performance, or you may pick them up the downstairs theater lobby entrance on Sunday, Nov. 14 from 12:30–2 p.m.
Holiday drives for families affected by abuse
Each year, the Sudbury-Wayland-Lincoln Domestic Violence Roundtable sponsors a family for the holidays and invites local communities to become involved in making the holidays brighter for families affected by domestic violence. Families in shelter for the holidays face a sad and difficult time as they are separated from family and friends and are hiding from their abusers.
Sponsoring a family or organizing a collection with colleagues, friends, or group is a great way to help. The following organizations all conduct holiday drives:
- REACH Beyond Domestic Violence (Jean Doliber, Jean@reachma.org, 781-891-0724 x109)
- The Second Step (Marisa Rowe, mrowe@thesecondstep.org, 617-965-3999)
- Voices Against Violence (Simone Williams, simonew@smoc.org, 508-820-0834)
Holiday drives start early so that agencies have time to process donations. In some cases, gift cards are being collected so families can shop and wrap their presents.
LNS offers session on pre-K/K program
Join Lincoln Nursery School teachers and parents in a virtual discussion about the school’s preK/K program on Tuesday, Nov. 30 at 7:30 p.m. The Studio Red program is a mix of older 4-year-olds to 6-year-olds. The children have either just missed the cutoff date to turn 5 for kindergarten, or in many cases, are kindergarten-eligible based on their age and chose to have their kindergarten year at LNS. After a year in Studio Red, families can choose for their child to move to kindergarten or first grade. Click here to register for the discussion.
Update your information for the Lincoln Directory
Watch for a large yellow card in your mail this week from the Friends of the Lincoln Library (FOLL), since it’s time to update the Lincoln Directory, which hasn’t been published since 2019 due to the pandemic. The directory is a helpful guide to all things Lincoln — people (white pages), town offices and organizations (green pages), service providers, and trusted businesses (yellow pages) — and is mailed to every residence in Lincoln. For residents, it’s an easy way to contact neighbors and find service information, and for advertisers, it’s a guarantee that Lincolnites can learn about them and know that they support the Lincoln Public Library.
If your information hasn’t changed since the 2019 edition, you’re all set. If you want to make changes to your existing white pages listing or add cellphone information, we need to hear from you. Note that FOLL never sells any of the directory information. To make updates, send an email to lincolnphonebook@gmail.com, fill out the card when you receive it and mail it back to the FOLL, or drop the card with your new information at the library. The deadline to have your information included in the Spring 2022 directory is January 7, 2022. Many thanks to The Commons for their generous support in helping to fund the mailing.
