THE WEEKLY GEM
Foxborough Senior Center
January 6, 2025
THE TWILIGHT ZONE
In the late 1950’s, a television writer named Rod Serling was having trouble getting some of his projects on the air. At every turn, his topics seemed too controversial, too taboo for the time. Serling, a fan of science fiction and fantasy stories, discovered that if he couched his ideas in the realm of the fantastic, it was more palatable for TV executives and audiences. As a television series called THE TWILIGHT ZONE, it was a rousing success. Join us on Wednesday, Jan. 22 at 4 p.m. and take a compelling journey into the history of this groundbreaking show with presenter Kevin Quigley. Please sign up in advance.
