Celebrity Series of Boston presents

Camille A. Brown & Dancers

“I AM”

Imagine a world where anything is possible: for individuals, for communities. A world of self-actualization, of Black Joy, of cultural liberation. A universe of new ways of being.

Camille A. Brown created “I AM” with inspiration from an unlikely source: an episode of HBO’s acclaimed sci-fi/horror series Lovecraft Country. Mirroring aspects of a character’s multidimensional journey of self-discovery and the power that comes with asserting who you are, Brown weaves a world of African diasporic dance styles into an energetic, spontaneous, immersive, and powerful work that the Berkshire Edge called “universal to human experience….it is good for the soul.”

Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead
2025-11-07 00:00 - 23:59 | Emerson Cutler Majestic Theatre, 219 Tremont St, Boston, MA, 02116, United States
Presented by Cherry Orchard Festival

Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

Based on the novel by Nobel Prize-winning author Olga Tokarczuk

Directed by Boris Pavlovich

Starring Lia Akhedzhakova, Alexander Feklistov

Also starring: Musya Totibadze, Maria Krol, Gleb Romashevsky

A gripping, poetic, and wildly original theatrical experience.

Based on the novel by Nobel Prize Laureate Olga Tokarczuk, this powerful production takes you deep into a snowy, secluded village in Poland, where mysterious deaths begin to unsettle the quiet forest community. What unfolds is far more than a murder mystery—it’s a haunting, satirical, and deeply moving story about truth, justice, and the fragile bond between humans and nature.

At the heart of the play is Janina Duszejko—an eccentric retired teacher, stargazer, and animal lover—portrayed with brilliance and fierce honesty by the legendary Lia Akhedzhakova. When no one else will act, she steps up to uncover a dark secret hidden in the woods.

Joining her on stage are Aleksandr Feklistov as the warm and loyal Good News, and singer-actress Musya Totibadze, who gives voice to Janina’s inner world through stunning live performances of songs inspired by the mystical poetry of William Blake.

With striking visuals, live music, and unforgettable characters, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead is a bold and poetic production—equal parts noir thriller, philosophical fable, and emotional odyssey.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to an unfortunate delay related to hurricane activity and inclement weather in the Atlantic Ocean, the theatrical set for our production has not arrived in time.

As a result, the November 6th performance of “Drive Your Plow over the Bones of the Dead” is postponed to the NEXT DAY, Friday, November 7th, at 8 pm. All purchased tickets are valid for the new date.

An Evening with Bobbi Brown, Conversation and Book Launch

Join us for a candid and uplifting conversation with Bobbi Brown as her nation-wide book tour stops in Boston at Emerson College. Bobbi is a renowned makeup artist and entrepreneur, bestselling author, sought after speaker, beauty industry icon, and a hotelier. But she wasn’t always these things. In her new memoir, Still Bobbi, she shares the details of her journey from her childhood in suburban Chicago to makeup mogul for the first time. From hustling her way into New York’s beauty and fashion scene in the 1980s, to building her first billion-dollar brand, to navigating her public split from Estée Lauder and, ultimately, to regrouping at 62 and staging an unprecedented comeback, she’s always found success by remaining true to herself.

A general admission ticket includes entrance to this exclusive event and a copy of Still Bobbi. VIP tickets are also available which include a book, the conversation, and a post-event meet and greet and book signing.

Cherry Orchard Festival PRESENTS:

BEYOND THE LIGHT

GESHER THEATER (ISRAEL)

Beyond The Light is a tender and heartbreaking fable of two worlds colliding.

She is a living soul, a woman of Earth, and yet, it seems, from another universe. He — an algorithm, slowly learning to wear a human face. She is warm and vibrant, igniting a spark within him. He is cold and precise, beginning to feel. As chaos softens into hope, and a shattered world is stitched back together, their chance encounter rewrites everything.

Two renowned artists, Kseniya Rappoport and Henry David embody the two opposites of the fragile universe, where laughter and sorrow, tenderness and ache are used to — and where light appears where no one thought to seek it. The stage, envisioned by celebrated designer Kseniya Peretrukhina, transforms the ordinary into pure magic: a wardrobe unfurls into a forest, a lamp flickers into a star. This new play by director Avdotya Smirnova is a quiet prayer for renewal — where, from the ashes of a broken world, a new life inevitably blossoms. A performance you won’t want to miss.

Event Info

1 hour and 40 min, with no intermission

Ages 12+

This play is performed entirely in Russian, with English subtitles.
