Our Next Program: Town Hall in Character

Arlington Town Hall

Tuesday, May 21, 2013. 7:30pm

At Arlington Town Hall, 730 Mass. Ave.

Patsy L. Kraemer, Producer

Town Hall in Character — a “moving program” giving guests a tour of Town Hall. During the tour each group will hear a “playlet” given by a significant character who was integrally involved
with the birth of our town hall in 1913. The characters include the following:

  • R. Clipston Sturgis, architect — aka Richard Duffy
  • Cyrus Dalllin, sculptor — aka Chuck Kraemer
  • Selectman — aka Kevin Greeley
  • Nathan Robbins — aka Joe Curro
  • Amos Robbins — aka Jud Pierce
  • Robbins Sisters — aka Arlington High School Drama Students

Each tour group (5) will be guided to their various Town Hall destinations by docents from the Arlington High School Drama Department — thanks to help from Michael Byrne, AHS Drama Coach.

There will be punch and cookies served at the conclusion of the tour.

For a listing of all events, see our Events Page.
