SPEAKER AT OUR NEXT MEETING

Local author and longtime Cambridge Community Players member Peter Hunton—also a longstanding member of our PROBUS Club of Cambridge—offers an engaging and entertaining presentation based on his new book In Which We Play, which celebrates 90 years of Cambridge theatre history.

The book chronicles the story of Cambridge Community Players (formerly Galt Little Theatre), capturing the personalities, productions, and pivotal moments that have shaped our community’s cultural life since 1935. Drawing from archival photos, programs, and first-hand memories, Peter brings to life the evolution of a small volunteer troupe into a cornerstone of local arts.

His talk is lively, visual, and filled with behind-the-scenes stories that resonate with anyone who values history, theatre, or community spirit. Audiences leave with a renewed appreciation for Cambridge’s creative legacy and the volunteers who kept the curtain rising for nine decades.

LUNCH BUNCH: After the meeting, all members are invited to have lunch (at their own cost) at a local restaurant. A great way to get to know your fellow members.
