The Lot Next Door

Join us for a new play by the Dorchester Weather Theatre Collective!

Produced and devised in collaboration with a community of local neighborhood artists and activists, The Lot Next Door explores issues and dynamics at the intersection of community development, environmental justice, and social resilience through the retelling of a true story in which residents fight a proposed development lot on the corner of Woodrow Ave and Norfolk St in Dorchester.

Join the abundance among us: dragon and friends team for an interactive workshop!

Rain date: Sunday, April 13 | 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

Mythological creatures are quite imaginative yet are built on the real world - many of them combine features of different animals from our daily life. Through games and drawing, registered participants will construct articulating puppets, creating a mythological creature of their own. The workshop will culminate in the co-creation of a collective puppet which added to the Celebrations of Perseverance: Public Art in Chinatown, 2024-2025 exhibit, on view through June 20, 2025. 

Registration is limited to 20 people and lunch will be provided to registered participants only.  Lunch will be banh mi sandwiches—please note in your registration if you would like a vegetarian option. We cannot accommodate for all food allergies.
