Faculty/Staff Book Club: Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
2026-04-30 13:00 - 14:00 | Haverhill Campus, 100 Elliott St, Haverhill, MA, United States
Who doesn’t love a good queer myth retelling?? This one has been on our TBR for years. The Song of Achilles is “a tale of gods, kings, immortal fame, and the human heart” and a “thrilling, profoundly moving, and utterly unique retelling of the legend of Achilles and the Trojan War.” This is NOT your mother’s 2003 blockbuster Troy starring Brad Pitt and Diane Kruger!!
Find the ebook on Libby here: https://share.libbyapp.com/title/676344 and the audiobook here: https://share.libbyapp.com/title/778961 or reach out to a librarian at library@necc.mass.edu if you would like help getting a physical copy.

Please join us for NECC Theater’s Spring Production of “Angels in America” by Tony Kushner.

It follows Prior Walter, abandoned by his lover Louis after developing AIDS, and Joe Pitt, a closeted Mormon lawyer. Their lives intersect with the power-broker Roy Cohn and ghostly figures as they grapple with disease, sexuality, and, in Prior’s case, a prophetic vision from an Angel.
