  • Kidding around about Pirates

    While pirates from Somalia are making news, we have play in the works by the Framingham Community Theater based upon a legend that Captain Kidd buried some treasure near Learned Pond.  The legend may have evolved from Joseph Braddish Jr. who was born in Framingham Plantation around 1675 in the Nobscot section of town.  He grew up to be a pirate and captain of a captured ship.  He met up with  Captain William Kidd when jailed for piracy.  He was hanged in England in 1699.  

    And, once upon a time, plays were fundraisers for preserving the Village Hall in Framingham Centre.  As the Civic League building, where the theater troupe used to mount it’s plays, is no longer available , plays have returned to the Village Hall.  Renting the Village Hall for the production will help preserve it, and it is a local treasure.
