Great Decisions at the Library – 4/20/26
“Great Decisions”
“The Third Nuclear Age”
Our “Great Decisions” public forum will resume next Monday, April 20, at 6:00 pm in the Walpole Town Library. All are welcome to join the discussion, which will focus on the dangerous new nuclear age that – with the expiration of the New START treaty between the U.S. and Russia – portends a renewed arms race to the finish.
Adrian Basora, former U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic, will moderate the discussion. Adrian is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and on the International Advisory Board of the Auschwitz Institute for the Prevention of Genocide and Mass Atrocities.
The relevant reading from the Foreign Policy Association is “The Third Nuclear Age: Trump, the Order, and the Bomb” by Gideon Rose, adjunct senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and adjunct professor of political science at Columbia University. This article is available at the library and a copy can be emailed to you upon request to Library Director Jane Malmberg: jmalmberg@walpoletownlibrary.org You may also request a Zoom link from Jane Malmberg, but please join at 6:30 pm, following the “Master Class” from the Foreign Policy Association, which cannot be shown via Zoom.

Walpole Radio Follies – 4/11/26
Walpole Radio Follies 2026
Ahh, April, the month with so many firsts; first baseball game, first chance to file taxes, first full month of spring! Come and celebrate all this and more with the Walpole Players at their annual Mud Season Radio Follies. Show date is Saturday April 11, 2026.
Is that tax filing deadline making you nervous? Find out how George Burns and Gracie Allen make their taxes add up. Want to catch up on the new baseball players? See how Abbott and Costello figure that out. Think spring is the perfect time of year to learn to drive? Let the Bickersons steer you in the right direction.
Director Judy Esptein has assembled a talented cast of familiar faces and first timers; see another first for April! For the cast, this is a low-pressure show; no need to memorize lines, but this is live, so anything could and usually does happen.
This is a cabaret style show so plan to bring an indoor picnic to enjoy before and during the show. The stage will be set at the Helen Miller Theater on the second floor of Town Hall. Show time is 7pm and the doors open at 6:30. You can get your tickets in advance at Masoma Savings Bank on Main St. We appreciate their help every year with ticket sales. Round tables comfortably seat 6 so get your friends together to reserve a table. Please check our Facebook page for updates. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday April 11.
