ARGIA Schooner Morning Sail

The Schooner ARGIA is one of the last sailing ships in New England. You’ll discover islands, lighthouses and the beauty of sailing aboard a traditional sailing ship. The ship will sail in cloudy and light drizzle weather conditions; please dress for the weather by wearing an extra layer and bringing a jacket. There is a bathroom on board, however you would need to climb a ladder to access it.

The schooner sails out of downtown Mystic from 9:30 – 11:30 am. We meet at the dock at 9 am. Those needing transportation– we depart Thrive 55+ at 8: 40 am. Cost is $34 resident/$44 non resident.

Please register for this and any other THRIVE55+ programs at our front desk.  With all day trips- you must pay at time of registration.

We are going back to Newport Playhouse!

We will be seeing “Social Security “written by Andrew Bergman. This hilarious Broadway comedy surrounds a married couple who are art dealers. Their domestic tranquility is shattered upon the arrival of the wife’s goody-goody nerd of a sister, her uptight CPA husband, and her archetypal Jewish mother. They are there to try to save their college-student daughter from the horrors of living only for sex. The comic sparks really begin to fly when the mother hits it off with the elderly minimalist artist who is the art dealers’ best client!

Newport Playhouse has been running long enough to be considered a Rhode Island institution. They have found the perfect formula

ENJOY A GREAT BUFFET – A WONDERFUL PLAY – A FUN – FILLED CABERET!
