SUMMARY:Musical Matinee: The Band Wagon
DESCRIPTION:WEST NEWTON CINEMA PRESENTS: MUSICAL MATINEES \nJoin West Newton Cinema for a musical matinee! Our monthly pick will vary from beloved classics to jazz\, from vaudeville to psychedelic rock\, brought to you by the imaginative skill of artists able to make scenes look the way great music feels. We’ll feature films from the Golden Age of Hollywood musicals\, with surprises that transcend the era and define others. The cinematic brilliance of these films has never left us. In fact\, seeing them again\, or for the first time\, will reinvigorate your love for the movie musical and send you out of the theater tapping your feet. \nTHE BAND WAGON\nTony Hunter (Fred Astaire) is a has-been movie star\, long regarded as a relic of another time. His only chance at a comeback is in a new Broadway show written by his friends Lester (Oscar Levant) and Lily (Nanette Fabray)—but the director\, Jeffrey Cordova (Jack Buchanon)\, seems dead set on making the show as un-commercial as possible\, casting Tony opposite prima ballerina\, Gabrielle Gerard (Cyd Charisse). Watch the sparks fly with every strike of the heel and turn of the toe! \nFrom director Vincente Minnelli\, film musical maverick\, The Band Wagon is a delightful tribute to the supreme virtues of a so-called “light” entertainment. The film reaches a higher echelon any time Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse dance together. Its final number—an unlikely tribute to film noir and detective fiction—is a career-best for both performers.

SUMMARY:Let's Talk!  An Uncommon Conversation on America's 250th
DESCRIPTION:Local residents\, Luke of Newton Corner and Diane of Auburndale\, are teaming up to create space where we can pause\, reflect\, and list to others with openness and goodwill to explore our hopes and concerns as America turns 250. \nConversation is an easily underestimated but vital form of action. The simple act of visiting friends and neighbors\, building ties of friendship\, and exploring hopes and concerns together can help remedy the isolation and loss of purpose that are increasingly prevalent. Conversations — when carried out with goodwill\, fairmindedness\, a desire to learn and\, most importantly\, with love – can help build community\, catalyze action\, and facilitate progress. \nWe hope this event will inspire such conversations — in homes and neighborhoods\, in faith communities and civic settings — so that we can move forward together. \nLet’s talk!

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: The Memory Quilt
DESCRIPTION:Join Newton Cemetery & Arboretum’s 2025-26 Artist-in-Residence Kasey Kaufman for a talk on her Memory Quilt Project\, an evolving series of mixed-media works composed of intimate “memory tiles” built from fragments—images of nature\, place\, objects\, handwriting\, and absence—layered together the way memory itself is formed: imperfectly\, emotionally\, and over time. \nInspired by the cemetery’s history and landscape—and by stories shared by families remembering loved ones buried there—the work reflects themes of grief\, connection\, love\, and remembrance\, and considers what remains after loss. Kasey will share images from the project\, discuss her process and research\, and reflect on how personal and collective memory shape the pieces. \nBefore becoming a full-time artist\, Kaufman spent more than two decades as an award-winning television journalist at WBZ-TV. She now explores storytelling through paint\, texture\, and collage\, exhibits throughout the East Coast\, and is a member of the Copley Society of Art. \nParking is available in the parking lot next to the chapel.\nRegister in advance ~ Space is limited.\nDonations gratefully accepted! Suggested donation: $15

SUMMARY:Workshop: Build your own self-watering veggie planter!
DESCRIPTION:At Fulfilled Goods\, we are all about reusing and repurposing existing materials vs. tossing them in a landfill. Many of the products we stock in our refillery come to us in 5 gallon buckets. We usually send the empties back to our closed-loop partners to clean and reuse. But when we heard about global buckets – a self-watering planter made from 5 gallon buckets – we were so excited by the idea that we wanted to try it out! \nJoin us and Farmer Tim (our CSA partner*) as he demonstrates how to build a global bucket. We’ll provide all the supplies you need including composted soil courtesy of Black Earth Composting. Farmer Tim will be bringing a variety of tomato\, pepper and eggplant plants from his greenhouse for you to choose from. So you’ll go home with your own self-watering planter ready to go! (or rather\, ready to GROW! ) \nDate and Time: Tuesday June 9\, 6:30pm\nWorkshop cost: $35
