Join AMC Boston Young Members for a night at the under the stars. "Free Shakespeare on the Common" returns to the Common soon with Shakespeare's lovely mystical dramedy "Cymbeline". The play chronicles the fates of King Cymbeline and his family through a journey of deception, intrigue and separation. Join his daughter Imogen, one of Shakespeare's most beloved heroines, as she is swept into a nearly mythic realm of mistaken identities, twists and turns, and the all-consuming quest for true love.

Mt. Monadnock is a very popular hike and it's easy to see why: relatively little elevation gain for spectacular views from its bare summit.

Some sections require rock scrambles and have some exposure.
