THE BLACK BOX presents 2 Valentine’s Shows

THE BLACK BOX will present two shows Valentine’s week: comedian adam connie sr. on February 13 and fan-favorite band The Love Dogs on February 14.

adam connie sr.

THE BLACK BOX Comedy Series debuts with adam connie sr. on Thursday, February 13. adam connie sr. is a Franklin, MA bred comedian based in San Diego, CA . His career in entertainment began when he wrote, directed, produced, and starred in the web series "Fully Staffed." His love for comedy then took him to the stage. Now in his ninth year performing, he's ready to kick off his first tour in his hometown.

The Love Dogs

THE BLACK BOX New England Artist Series presents The Love Dogs this Valentine's Day for a special night out. With barrelhouse boogie-woogie piano, stinging Fender guitar, and a red-hot horn section of trombone and alto, tenor and baritone saxes, The Love Dogs also showcases a swinging rhythm section that Blues Review magazine called “the best in the business,” and a charismatic front man with one of the biggest blues voices around. Based out of Boston, the septet recently celebrated its 20th year. Combining elements of jump blues, New Orleans R&B, and early rock ’n roll, The Love Dogs have played juke joints, festivals, and concert halls across the U.S. and Canada and on both sides of the Atlantic.

A full bar is available. For tickets and more information, visit www.THEBLACKBOXonline.com or call 508-528-3370. Follow THE BLACK BOX on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Celebrate Valentine's Day with Let's Laugh Today - Feb 14

You can celebrate Valentine's Day with Let's Laugh Today on Wednesday, February 14th from 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM at the Meetinghouse of the First Universalist Society in Franklin, 262 Chestnut Street, Franklin! 

Everyone will receive a Valentine and a chocolate along with many belly laughs! (Bring more chocolate to share if you want.) 

Laughter Yoga is a body/mind practice for well-being that involves deep breathing and a few stretches, playful laughter exercises (no jokes or comedy), clapping and deep relaxation. It has many benefits besides the joy of laughter. It can strengthen the immune system, combat the negative effects of stress, and is a powerful antidote to depression and anxiety.

Any age and any level of physical ability can participate in this uplifting experience! There is a $5 donation to the church, $10 maximum per family. 

Please bring your water bottle because laughing can be dehydrating. Led by Certified Laughter Yoga Teachers, Linda and Bill Hamaker. See www.letslaughtoday.com.

LET'S LAUGH TODAY in Franklin is on Wednesday, February, 14
