An electrifying blend of encounters, compelling live music, and chilling surprises. Featuring the international artists of Ballet Fantastique in decadent original choreography by Donna Marisa and Hannah Bontrager.

New Spirit Village is a nationally significant pilot project addressing the affordable housing crisis. Kathryn and Barry Thalden will walk us through this charming neighborhood of 87 homes, which will begin construction this fall in Medford.
