    Whales compose, bullfrogs chorus, songbirds greet the dawn, and people everywhere sing and dance. What do we all have in common?  Find out in Worcester EcoTarium's summer exhibit, Wild Music.

    Discover how nature is filled with "musicians" that create distinct musical masterpieces to communicate with and relate to one another.  And, explore how human music is inspired by the music of other living creatures – from tiny insects to giant whales.  Wild Music offers unique experiences to see, hear and feel sounds!

    Sensory-Friendly Sunday August 23, 2015 from 10am - noon.  An exclusive early opening with exhibit sounds turned down.



    Company One Theatre's "Colossal"

    Posted Wednesday July 29 2015 at 06:31 am in News

    Last November we blogged that Company One Theatre was seeking a wheelchaired actor for it's production of Colossal.  They found the right guy and we'd like to think our post helped them out.  Anyway . . .

    The lights burn bright.  The smell of turf hangs thickly in the air.  The crowd erupts in thunderous applause.  The beauty and brutality of football seduce Mike to stray from the path his father had mapped out for him, but when a snap decision results in a career-ending injury, Mike must tackle the past and make peace with the man he dreamed he would be.  Played in four quarters with a half-time show, dance company, and a drumline, Colossal's explosive theatrical storytelling and full-contact physicality carries this unmissable summer event all the way to the end zone.
