Rita Parisi stars in the theatrical program Gothic Victorian Tales by Candlelight at the Medford Senior Center. Enter the world of 19th century New England regional writer Sarah Orne Jewett. Meet a family embroiled in a family curse, and odd stranger who comes to a small town, and an old woman who may or may not be immortal. Coffee and desserts will follow the event, which is supported in part by a Medford Arts Council grant. Reserve you free ticket at the Senior Center information desk starting on October 3.
