- Thursday, Nov. 1. At 7:45 p.m., a group will go to Concord to see “Mr. Roberts.” In this 1948 Tony Award winning classic, a restless crew aboard a cargo vessel idling in the South Pacific is desperately craving onshore action. Tickets are $8 at the door, plus $5 for the van. Van room is limited, so sign up early.
- Wednesday, Nov. 14. Seniors will visit the Taza Chocolate Factory, which is a “bean-to-bar” chocolate factory in Somerville. The tour group will be able to sample stone-ground Mexican-style dark chocolate, learn about cocoa beans, and see the machinery used to make traditional stone-ground chocolate. Lunch is first at S&S Restaurant in Inman Square, then on to the chocolates. The cost of $15 pays for van and Chocolate Factory. The group will leave Hildreth House at 10:30 a.m. and return by 4 p.m.
