Armchair Theatre - Evening at the Talk House
2025-04-27 18:00 - 20:00 | Saltmarsh Center, 81 Washington Street
Join the NCEA for an Armchair Theatre reading of Evening at the Talk House. Simple supper at 6 p.m., reading starts at 7 p.m.
THE STORY: To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the opening of an unsuccessful play, the playwright, the leading actor, the producer, and various other members of the company get together at their former haunt, the Talk House. Most haven’t been there, or even seen each other, in years, and the gossip and nostalgia are mixed with questions and accusations. Why does a washed-up old actor keep getting beaten up by his friends? Where does a failed actress-turned-waitress disappear for months at a time? EVENING AT THE TALK HOUSE is a biting portrayal of people grasping to find their place in a world in which terror has become an accepted part of life. Is this the world we’re living in now?
Limited seats, RSVP by calling the NCEA at 508-325-4181.

Community Consortium to Host Free Annual Senior Expo: Celebrating Our Elders and Their Vibrant Lives

Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 18, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Nantucket High School. This free event warmly welcomes seniors aged 60 and older, their families, and caregivers to connect, learn, and thrive together.
At the heart of this event is a commitment to empowering our elders with the tools and resources they need to live their best lives. With 36 vendors spanning health and wellness, legal and financial planning, home care, housing options, and more, attendees will find a wealth of information tailored to their unique needs. Experts will be on hand to answer questions and provide guidance, ensuring that no one feels alone in navigating life’s challenges.
The expo also features a series of engaging presentations on topics that matter most to seniors and their loved ones. From the science of aging gracefully to fraud prevention and long-term care planning, these talks are designed to inspire and inform.
This Senior Expo is about connection. It’s a chance for seniors to come together, share stories, and network. Complimentary refreshments will be available to keep the conversations flowing, and attendees can look forward to exciting prize giveaways throughout the day.
This cherished annual gathering is made possible by the dedication of the Nantucket Council on Aging, Nantucket Center for Elder Affairs, Inc. (NCEA), The Rotary Club of Nantucket, the Saltmarsh Senior Center, and Mind’s Eye Communications. Together, they are creating a space where our elders feel recognized, supported, and valued.
Join us in honoring our senior community.
