John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, presented by New Repertory Theatre, Arsenal Center for the Arts, 321 Arsenal St., Watertown, MA.

"Some day we're gonna get the jack together and we're gonna have a little house and a couple of acres…" -George
John Steinbeck's 1937 classic tale introduced the world to two wanderers, realistic George and simple-minded Lennie, who walk the highways of California looking for jobs to make ends meet. With the Great Depression all around them, it is their dream of one day having their own farm that keeps them drifting from town to town. But that dream is lost when Lennie unknowingly jeopardizes everything they've worked towards.

Chekhov's Three Sisters
Thursday, May 7 at 10:00 AM

Chekhov's Three Sisters, presented by New Repertory Theatre, Arsenal Center for the Arts, 321 Arsenal St., Watertown, MA.

What is keeping these three promising sisters from getting to Moscow? Raised with the utmost standards of refinement and taste, Olga, Masha, and Irina cling desperately to vivid memories of the thriving Moscow they left as children. The play, in a thrilling new translation by Curt Columbus, begins on the anniversary of their father's death. Feeling suffocated and unable to bear the triviality of their lives, the sisters endeavor to fill them with excitement. Tempers flare, and appetites go unchecked, eliciting feral and treacherous responses that turn this proper Prozorov home into an emotional minefield.

New Repertory Theatre is an award-winning company in the Boston area. For more info see: http://www.newrep.org/. This presentation is a professional, full-length theatrical production. Expect it to last 2-3 hours.

No food or drink is allowed in the theater - snacks may be consumed in the building but not in the theater itself. Panera Bread is next door to the theater, and will be open serving soup, sandwiches, bagels, pastries, and drinks all day.
