One-man musical show featuring the music of George M Cohan, Eddie Cantor and Al Jolson at the main Framingham Library tonight.
1. Chocolate Therapy on Route 9 in Framingham needs your help.
"It has come to our attention that we have to change our name due to a trademark issue with the word “Therapy," wrote the owners of the company on its Facebook page.
"We are running a contest ... and would like you to help us come up with a new name that will capture the essence of what we have created at Chocolate Therapy, thanks to all of you." Submit your names that include the word Chocolate but not the word Therapy. Click here to see names already suggested.
The winner will receive a gift box of Truffles!
2. Space is still available in the "Acting for Kids" 8-week program at the Performing Arts Center of MetroWest (PAC).
Children ages 4-6 will participate in an acting program with veteran instructor Joey Talbert, as she teaches students to use their voices, bodies and imaginations to act out a story each week. Theater games and movement will feature prominently. An informal show will be performed for families on the final day of class.
Classes start today, Oct. 2 and runs from 3:40 to 4:25 p.m. Tuition is $128 (annual registration fee may apply). To register call the PAC office at 508-875-5554.
