This past summer, the Massachusetts Legislature passed the PROTECT Act—a wide-ranging law that provides additional protections for our immigrant communities and limits state and local law enforcement from cooperating with ICE.

Through our work with MIRA: Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition, Inc., The House of the Seven Gables was proud to play a part in securing passage of this important legislation.

🚨 JUST ANNOUNCED! 🚨 On Friday, October 23 at 7:30 P.M., The House of the Seven Gables and Cape Ann Community Cinema present a special screening of the National Theatre (UK) production of “Frankenstein.”

Directed by Academy Award-winner Danny Boyle. Featuring Benedict Cumberbatch as the creature and Jonny Lee Miller as Victor Frankenstein. Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the increasingly desperate and vengeful Creature determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal.

This event takes place in The House of the Seven Gables’ Visitor Center at 115 Derby Street, Salem, MA. Tickets are $25 general admission and $20 for Gables members. This production includes a scene of s*xual violence, moderate injury detail, and a moderate s*x reference. Age guidance 15+.
