Boston Women's March for America

On Saturday, January 21, join a group from First Parish Plymouth at the Boston Women's March for America. This is going to be held in concert with marches in cities around the country. The stated vision of the march is "We stand for religious freedom, human rights, climate justice, racial justice, economic justice and reproductive justice. Together, we will send a message to our leaders and the world, that the United States of America stands for values of human decency, equal rights and freedom from discrimination."

The march starts with speakers at 11am and then will march through the Back Bay. Men are welcome to march in support of the idea that Women's Rights are Human Rights.

We will be carpooling to public transport. Please contact Diane Stillman at dianeinplymouth@verizon.net or 508-333-0091 if you are interested in joining us.

Americana Theatre Co. 'Parfumerie'

This new adaptation of the play that inspired the movies: The Shop Around the Corner, The Good Old Summertime, You've Got Mail and the Broadway Musical: She Loves Me is a warm, gentle comedy that follows the tangled tale of Parfumerie employee George Horvath. Just days before Christmas, George's boss fires him after mistakenly suspecting him to be the lover of his unfaithful wife. Meanwhile, George's own love life goes awry when he discovers that the stranger he has fallen in love with through a secret correspondence is none other than Amalia Balash, a co-worker with whom he constantly feuds. For the employees of the Parfumerie, only the truth can lead to a happy resolution in this old-fashioned romantic Christmas tale.
