SUMMARY:Special Screening of "Eephus"
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, September 22nd\, at 6:30pm\, at the Adams Academy\, Quincy Historical Society will host a special screening of the 2026 independent film\, “Eephus\,” described as a poignant and humorous exploration of the bonds\, rituals\, and rivalries of New England community rec-league baseball. \nThe title “Eephus” refers to a trick pitch of the same name\, where the pitcher throws a very slow\, high arching ball overhand to deliberately disrupt the batter’s timing. \nDirected by Carson Lund\, “Eephus” follows two New England recreational baseball teams as they gather for one final game on their beloved local field. Filmed in Massachusetts and set in the 1990s\, the story unfolds over the course of a single autumn day\, as longtime teammates and rivals play\, argue\, joke\, and reminisce while the daylight fades. Their field is slated to be demolished to make way for a new school\, giving the seemingly ordinary game an unexpected sense of nostalgia. \nThe film features cameo appearances from legendary Red Sox personalities Bill “Spaceman” Lee and Joe Castiglione\, and from the esteemed documentarian Frederick Wiseman. \nThe film run time is 98 minutes. \nThis event is open to all and free to attend. \nPLEASE NOTE: This film features strong language typical of the bleacher seats at Fenway Park. Viewer discretion is advised.

SUMMARY:Profiles in Courage: Anne Hutchinson
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, May 21st\, at 7pm at the Adams Academy\, Quincy Historical Society will host a special screening of the 1965 television series Profiles in Courage with an episode highlighting the infamous trial of Anne Hutchinson\, a 17th century religious leader in colonial Massachusetts with ties to Quincy’s early Mount Wollaston settlement.\n\n\n\nIn 1636 the Massachusetts Bay Colony faced its first existential crisis. At its heart stood a woman\, Anne Marbury Hutchinson – the daughter of a minister\, and an outspoken religious leader in her own right. When two political forces vied for dominance over the young colony\, Hutchinson faced a question of moral integrity – denounce her beliefs and remain a respected and wealthy member of her community or hold fast to her truths and lose everything.\n\n\n\nIn 1963 Anne Hutchinson’s story was selected to be featured in a television adaptation of John F. Kennedy’s book Profiles in Courage. Hutchinson is played brilliantly by legendary British actress Dame Wendy Hiller.\n\n\n\nThis program will screen the Anne Hutchinson episode of Profiles in Courage\, followed by a freewheeling discussion about the film\, the “Antinomian Controversy”\, life in Puritan Massachusetts\, and the legacy of Anne Hutchinson’s principled stand for religious civil liberties.\n\n\n\nThis program is part of Quincy Historical Society’s year-long celebrations of Quincy’s 400th anniversary. This event is open to all\, and free to attend.
