A trip to the UMass Lowell Inn for a matinee dinner and play “THE PORCH” is being held on Saturday, June 4th. THE PORCH, written and directed by the international known Jack Neary, is a play about three ladies of a certain age who discuss things that ladies of a certain age discussed in 2002…..like the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal. The ladies are funny, insightful, incisive, and they abandoned their censorship long ago. As the Labor Day weekend transpires, we get to know them, and their long-suffering husbands. A mystery unfolds involving one of the ladies. The drama in THE PORCH sneaks up on you as you laugh and laugh…when life attacks suddenly, its friendship alone that provides the bridge to tomorrow. Being that the director is originally from Lowell, the scene takes place in Lowell and the porch where conversations take place is located across the street from a well know church parking lot in Lowell which adds to the delight of the play. Tickets through the Senior Center are $50 and include transportation. Others interested in reserving tickets which are $45 may call 978-984-3151.

Tickets are now available for the Foxwood day trip of Wednesday, June 8th. The cost is $21 per person and includes motor coach transpiration and a casino package.
