To kick off Boston’s Patriots’ Day weekend celebrations in partnership with the City of Boston, Old North Illuminated will stage a free reading of the hit play Revolution’s Edge behind Old North Church on Paul Revere Mall. Mayor Michelle Wu and other local officials and guests will give remarks to commemorate this historic anniversary.

Written by Patrick Gabridge and produced by Plays in Place, Revolution’s Edge is a gripping 45-minute historical drama that ran at Old North Church in the summers of 2023 and 2024. Guests will be greeted with live music before brief speaking remarks welcome the crowd and introduce the 45-minute costumed read of the play. Old North’s lanterns will light up soon after the play’s conclusion, at the beginning of the reenactment of Revere’s row across the Charles River.

ASL interpretation offered.

Indigenous peoples, histories, stories, and culture have been erased from the City of Boston and Massachusetts. You rarely see the mention of our peoples across the City and if you do, it’s rarely from an Indigenous perspective. Due to the history of erasure in Massachusetts, you don’t see many events or convenings centering Indigenous knowledge. Our history in this city and state needs to reckon with that exclusion and erasure.

In partnership with the North American Indian Center of Boston and Northeastern University, we are hosting our second annual Indigenous symposium. These annual events will be led by Indigenous peoples, centering and platforming Indigenous knowledge. This year we’d like to focus on land and the work that Indigenous communities are doing to protect land and restore land. This will be a one day event, two panel discussions, and exhibition of art.

Proposed Schedule:

Panel Discussion

• Land Back + Conservation + Environmental Justice
• Cultural Preservation

Artist show + Artist Share Out

Our symposium is sponsored by: City of Boston, City of Boston Equity and Inclusion, North American Indian Center of Boston, and Mills College at Northeastern.

Accessibility, Health and Safety:

• Our online event will include automated captions.
