"PLAY ME I'M YOURS" COMES TO CONCORD!
The Players have brought
the painted piano project to our own town. Last month, 75 pianos were
scattered around Boston, each one painted by a different artist,
inviting anyone and everyone to play them. So the Players took their own
upright and had two of OUR artists, Page Evett and Brian Harris,
personalize it. Then more Players hoisted the piano onto a wheeled
scaffold and paraded it through town, to a place of honor in Monument
Square, across from the green.
 Allen Bantly and the piano. Anyone
who plays it is encouraged to take a picture or video of themselves,
then upload it to our Facebook page via the QR code on the piano. That
way everyone can see who's enjoying our piano. Plus, the piano is acting
as promotion for the fall musical, Les Miserables,
with a banner promoting the show affixed to the back of the instrument.
The piano will be out there until November 18, at which point it must
go away. Check it out - it's a really fabulous piece of art! |

 COMBINE DINNER AND THE SHOW!
Two great Concord restaurants are offering deals for our theatergoers during the run of Les Miserables.
Serafina's on Sudbury Road is offering 25% off the food portion of your
meal when you show your ticket or receipt for the same day. Grab dinner
before or after the show! And Merchants Row at the Colonial Inn has a
fabulous promotion where patrons get a three-course meal and a ticket to
the show for $65. Book a seating for 6 or more and you'll get a gift
certificate to Merchants Row as well. You do need to make a reservation
for this promo, and space is limited, so book soon by calling Briana
McCormick at 978-371-2908, ext. 532, or BMcCormick@ConcordsColonialInn.com with "Les Mis" in the subject line.
