Winters in Evanston, Illinois, are brutal and it's getting more and more expensive to keep the roads clear. As salt truck drivers Peter and Basil battle one storm after another, Maiworm, the Assistant Director of Public Works, weighs the costs of a groundbreaking de-icing technology. It's a decision that will test her allegiance to urban planning pioneer, Jane Jacobs, for whom she named her own daughter, and impact the lives and livelihood of her employees. EVANSTON SALT COSTS CLIMBING is a heartbreakingly funny new play about climate and change.

Tickets range from $60-70 and are available online at whiteherontheatre.org and by phone at (508) 825-5268.

And just around the corner, New Neighborhood will launch FEAST: EVERY YEAR I GROW AGAIN, an interactive dining experience created by Nicholas Hussong and Masha Tsmiring, at Nantucket Culinary Center, in association with Nantucket Culinary, Sustainable Nantucket and the producers of Nantucket Island.
