Halloween is lurking just around the calendar’s corner, bringing with it Gothic Victorian Tales featuring women from history and literature at the Duxbury Council on Aging. On Thursday, October 24th at 2pm, join Rita Parisi of Waterfall Productions as she reads classic tales penned by author Sarah Orne Jewett, each story woven with just enough shadow and creep to evoke the spooky season. Hear about the impact of a family curse, an odd stranger’s small-town visit, and an encounter with a woman of a certain age who may have the gift of immortality. Register for this free event through the Senior Center’s website.
