Student Life Calendar | King Richard's Faire
The GSC invites graduate students to an adventure to King Richard's Faire !  The faire is out in Carver, MA in an enchanting 80-acre wooded site. Take this opportunity to hang out with minstrels, acrobats, fire eaters, aerialists, and larger-than-life-size puppets. Looking for something more dramatic? Cheer the daring knights as they battle on horseback in jousting tournaments! Perhaps you're looking for magical wares? Talented artisans will be displaying unique treasures, fabulous jewelry and handcrafted wares. Delight in period leather, armor, and footwear. Medieval and fantasy costumes are very much encouraged! Lunch will be available to purchase at the faire. See the menu here. Tickets will give the holder access to bus transportation to and from the faire, admission to the faire grounds and all its shows.
If you are planning to drive separately, please purchase a NO BUS ticket, so that we can have an accurate headcount for the bus. Please contact gsc-social@tufts.edu if your plans change and you will/will not be taking the bus.
*Tickets do not include funds to purchase any food/drinks/trinkets at the faire.  **The faire grounds sells alcohol for which you must bring valid ID to purchase.

Join Tisch College for a conversation on addiction, recovery and mental illness with author, producer, advocate and self-identifying recovering addict, Nic Sheff. Widely known for his New York Times bestselling memoir Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines and his father, David Sheff’s, novel Beautiful Boy, Nic’s struggle with substance use disorder and recovery are the subject of both books. They later inspired the film adaptation of Beautiful Boy, now a critically acclaimed movie starring Timothée Chalamet and Steve Carell. Nic has written four books on these subjects: High: Everything You Want to Know About Drugs, Alcohol, and Addiction; Tweak; We All Fall Down: Living with Addiction; and the young adult novel Schizo. Drawing on his history of self-harm and attempted suicide and his experiences in rehab, Nic was a writer for Netflix’s “13 Reasons Why” and for ABC Family/Freeform’s series “Recovery Road,” respectively. He also wrote for AMC's crime drama “The Killing” and has developed TV series with Warner Brothers, USA, Amazon, and Paramount Television. The conversation will be moderated by Tufts senior and Harm Reduction Education for Drugs and Alcohol activist, Sarah Lotsoff. Her advocacy and planning made this event possible. The event is cosponsored by Tufts Hillel, Tufts Harm Reduction Education for Alcohol and Drugs (THREAD), and the Film & Media Studies Program. Register Now! Interested in watching the critically acclaimed film Beautiful Boy? Learn more about our free screening on October 10.
