The Saugus Cultural Council is hosting the first Saugus Cultural Festival, at which a number of local groups will perform and show off their work. The date is Sunday 23 February 2025, from 11 AM to 3 PM. The location is the Saugus Middle/High School, which is located at 1 Pearce Memorial Drive / Saugus, Massachusetts.
TCS members will perform a scene from the classic comedy The Importance of Being Earnest, by Oscar Wilde. The scene, about 15 minutes long, will be presented at 1:00 PM on the stage of the Lemoine-Mitchell Performing Arts Center at the school. The TCS performers include:
