The Stratton Players have been bringing quality community theatre to Central Massachusetts and its communities since 1925. Founded by Helen Stratton and Fay Crocker, the Stratton Players have enriched the community with an outlet for the performing arts. Although the horrific fire on July 10 destroyed the Playhouse, they were fortunate to find the First Parish Church, 923 Main Street, Fitchburg for our 87th season. The Playhouse was very special to us all, but it's always been about the players. And the show must go on!

Living Stone Foundation is a not-for-profit charitable and spiritual organization wishing to exalt the name of Jesus through His Gospel. The inscriptions on the rocks are taken directly from the Bible. The real beauty of the stone here at Living Stone Foundation is that 90% of it is rejected material. These "rejects" found in the scrap piles at the quarries are eventually crushed into trap rock and sold as aggregate stone. Is it not ironic that this rejected stone is exactly what Jesus was referred to (1 Peter 2:4) and what we are also? They do not have set visiting hours and prefer that you visit between the hours of 10am and 4pm. Calling or writing ahead of time is strongly suggested to make sure they will be open.
