A multi-faceted regional art center, which includes art camp, ice skating lessons, concerts, art shows, and children and adult art and craft classes and a regional youth theater company/theater. Our vision today is to provide children and adults with opportunities to explore, experience, enjoy and fall in love with the Arts! We provide quality art experiences through dedicated staff and community members who contribute their knowledge and time to the education of the Arts.

The Nashoba Players is a dynamic, non-profit community theatre that has been dedicated to providing cultural enrichment through live theatre in drama, musicals and comedy to Westford and surrounding communities. We began 30 years ago as Groton Theatre and Littleton Theatre Guild and evolved into Nashoba Players. We are a member of the Eastern Mass. Assoc. of Community Theatres and are recipients of repeated recognitions at the EMACT Festivals for outstanding achievements in our productions. Our commitment to providing entertainment to the community has reached beyond traditional theatre. We have offered Summer Theatre Workshops to the youth in the community culminating in a musical show performed by the teens. Our home stage is at the Parish Center for the Arts on the common in Westford. It is an intimate and inviting venue where we offer cabaret seating for our shows. Our season offers three or more performances which include drama, comedy, musicals, and sometimes a whimsical tongue-in-cheek melodrama or an elegant dinner theatre experience.

The purpose of this site is to inform and connect people with the vast network of trails in Groton, MA. With over 100 trails spread across over 100 miles, the town enjoys one of the richest trail networks in the state. Our goal is to provide a user-friendly trail system that encourages residents to enjoy the open spaces and conservation land in Groton. We encourage people to see a different perspective of Groton by exploring our trails and parts of town never seen from the roadways. We promote the trails by setting up and staffing booths during GrotonFest, organizing hikes and the annual Groton Town Forest Trail Race. The Trails Committee is responsible for developing new trails and maintaining the existing trails network in Groton. We evaluate trail routes, consider safety issues, address parking and access, mark new trails, and revise the trails map to reflect additions and changes. We also organize hikes and work parties and are always looking for more participants.

We are a Community Theater Troupe based in Boston\'s MetroWest. The Present Players is dedicated to providing quality theater to our community, and we always donate 100% of our proceeds to local causes. We are able to produce 1-2 shows a year, and we donate 100% of our shows\' proceeds to community programs. If you are located in Boston\'s Metro West and have a need for fundraising, consider community theater. If you have an interest in any aspect of Community Theater, we\'d love to have you join us. A good production needs Costumes, Lighting, Sets, and Props not to mention Publicity and help with Tickets. We understand that everyone involved in the company makes the show successful, not just the actors. Come see how rewarding it is be involved with live theater.
