An Afternoon with Robert Frost

Posted on

The Grafton Historical Society, in conjunction with the Grafton Public Library will present local actor and teacher, Stephen Collins, in a one-man show on poet Robert Frost. The program will take place on Sunday, October 19 at 2 p.m. at the South Grafton Community House, 25 Main St., South Grafton.

“We are very excited to have Stephen Collins on our stage,” said Nancy Therrien, Grafton Historical Society President. “He is a consummate performer and a wonderful teacher, and his Robert Frost program combines those skills in what promises to be a rich and entertaining experience.”

In his program, “An Evening of Frost” Collins will bring the poet to life in a unique, interactive performance that includes biographical insights into the man and his works and performances of some of his best loved poems as well as some lesser known ones. Collins has performed Shakespeare and other roles at Boston area theaters for 25 years, and has a repertoire of eight one-man shows that he performs at venues all over Massachusetts. He also teaches seminars on authors from Shakespeare to Edna St. Vincent Millay.

A donation of $5 is requested. Refreshments will be served. Books will be available for sale.
