August 14, 2024 - A Light Under the Dome, the Fisherman's Feast Meatball Competition, and summer cocktails
About The Episode
In 1838 Angelina Grimké made delivered a groundbreaking speech to the Massachusetts Legislature demanding the immediate end of the slave trade. This was the first time in US history that a woman had addressed a legislative body. Now this history has been brought to life in the play “ A Light Under the Dome,” which is staged where it all took place: at the Massachusetts State House.
This, along with two other forthcoming productions, I’s produced by the site specific theater company Plays in Place in collaboration with the National Parks of Boston. The director Courtney O’Connor and Liza Stearns, deputy superintendent of the National Parks of Boston, join The Culture Show to discuss.
From there we head to the North End by way of the 114th annual Fisherman’s Feast, which kicks off August 15th and runs through August 18th. Domenic Strazzullo, the president of the Fisherman’s Feast, and The Boston Guido, one of the meatball competitions judges, join us for the ultimate overview.
Finally, we top things off by topping one off. Marsha Lindsey, the principal Bartender at SRV in Boston’s South End serves up summer drink suggestions.
