The OLLI Special Events Committee presents

ADDED PERFORMANCE:

A Delicious Lunch and a Great Afternoon of Theatre

A CHESTER DUET
Live at Hancock Shaker Village

Thursday, July 15, 2021 12:45 pm

Registration for this event is now closed


First, join us for a delicious lunch on the scenic grounds of Hancock Shaker Village.

Then enjoy a outdoor, tented matinee performance of Eleanor Burgess's

The Niceties

Followed by an exclusive talkback for OLLI participants.

The Washington Post calls The Niceties “a barnburner of a play,” and “one of the best plays I’ve seen about who gets to tell the story of America, and how.”

Zoe, a Black student at an elite liberal arts college, is called into her white professor’s office to discuss her paper about slavery’s effect on the American Revolution. What begins as a polite clash in perspectives explodes into an urgent debate about race, history, and power. 


Registration is $60 for OLLI members, $70 for non-members or $20 for members who already hold a subscription to the Chester Theatre.  We are not able to offer refunds unless space is filled from a waiting list.  Your payment includes lunch & the matinee.

Please note the event will be in-person in a tent.  Masks are currently required. 

Thank you to OLLI's Special Events Committee for organizing this and so many other great OLLI events!
