A

and
Trillium

Trillium
Garden
on
the
common.
We
are
so
thrilled
to
see
you
all
here
this
afternoon.
My
name
is
David
house
I,
wear
a
few
hats
at
Emerson
College,
but
today
I'm
wearing
the
Hat
as
the
vice
president
of
the
office
of
the
Arts,
and
it
is
my
pleasure
to
welcome
you
to
the
opening
of
this
incredible
space.
A
Some
of
you
may
know
that
we
had
a
soft
launch
yesterday,
where
we
were
testing
the
systems
and
the
beer
was
flowing.
But
today
is
the
official
opening
of
this
incredible
space
and
I'll,
be
speaking
a
few
minutes
later,
but
I
just
want
to
take
this
moment
to
Welcome
to
the
stage
to
officially
open
the
state
open
this
space,
an
incredible
group
of
young
students
here
at
Emerson,
College
called
noteworthy.
A
Oh
I
bet
you
guys
are
from
Emerson
College
right,
yeah,
okay,
okay,
good,
so
noteworthy
is
a
one
of
many
student
groups
here
at
Emerson
College
to
perform
on
campus
as
well
as
off
campus
and
so
you'll
be
hearing
more
from
them,
but
I
welcome
them.
The
stage
now
to
open
us
up-
and
so
here
comes
noteworthy.
A
B
B
B
C
B
B
D
D
Now
so
I'm
Esther
Tatro,
my
husband,
JC
and
I-
are
the
owners
and
founders
of
Trillium
and
can
I
just
like
thank
you.
Can
I
just
start
by
saying
that
we
are
standing
in
a
beer
garden
on
the
Boston
Common
like
this
is
wild.
Oh,
my
God,
you're,
okay,
I'll
just
come
with
you
no
problem,
so
this
is
incredible
to
look
out
and
see.
D
Thank
you
all
so
much
for
being
here,
I
want
to
start
and
say
that
we
are
so
appreciative
of
Mary
Wu
and
her
Administration
and
commissioner
wood
and
bethan,
and
the
team
that
Park
and
rap
for
recognizing
the
power
that
we
have
to
bring
people
together.
Beer
has
a
historic
Legacy
in
Boston
and
it's
so
fitting
to
have
a
beer
garden,
breathe
life
into
this
corner,
part
of
the
first
phase
of
the
master
plan
for
Boston
Common
for
America's
oldest
public
park.
D
This
is
incredible,
so
we're
excited
to
be
here
when
JC
and
I
started
Trillium
just
over
10
years
ago.
Now
we
didn't
want
to
just
make
himself
here.
We
wanted
to
create
experiences.
We
wanted
to
create
these
incredible
venues
that
bring
people
together
and
share
moments
like
this,
so
opening
the
Trillium
Garden
on
the
common
marks,
our
fifth
location,
our
fourth
in
iconic,
Boston,
neighborhoods,
and
we're
just
incredibly
humbled
by
the
trust
that
our
city
in
our
community
place
in
us
to
respect
these
venues,
these
institutions
and
to
bring
energy
here.
D
D
Also,
our
partner
is
at
Canford
who
actually
built
this
beautiful
location
so
quickly.
This
is
an
incredible
space.
The
team
of
Taqueria
el
barrio
who's
going
to
be
serving
you
delicious
tacos.
Yes,
over
there
Alex
and
his
team
all
summer
long,
they
jump
to
the
Champs
to
work
with
us
again.
They've
been
great
partners
for
us
of
the
past
and,
as
always,
our
incredibly
talented,
passionate
energized
team
at
Trillium
who's
going
to
be
here
all
summer.
This
takes
a
lot
of
work
to
make
this
all
happen,
and
they
are
really
passionate.
D
They
care
about
Hospitality.
First
and
obviously
we
want
to
bring
you
incredible
products,
incredible
beer,
but
they'll,
be
here
with
you
bringing
the
same
exceptional
Hospitality
beverages
that
you
can
expect
from
us
at
all
locations.
So
thank
you
to
the
team
here
who
made
it
happen.
It's
Gonna
Keep
it
going
all
summer
long
and
now
I
want
to
introduce
David
house
from
Emerson.
A
By
a
number
of
many
many
local
artists,
some
that
you'll
hear
this
evening.
We
are
incredibly
privileged
and
thrilled
to
be
working
with
a
group
of
curators
community
curators,
knowing
that
they're
going
to
be
like
30
to
30
40
hours
of
programming
a
week
in
this
space.
We
wanted
to
reach
out
and
engage
some
of
our
community
curators,
who
will
help
us
program
this
space,
and
so
some
of
them
are
here
we're
working
with
Bam's
Fest,
where
yay
Bam's
Fest
we're
working
with
departure.
A
Arts,
which
is
also
in,
is
Hyde
Park
and
also
with
Carl
Lavin,
who
works
with
a
lot
of
the
local
bands
and
and
many
others,
so
you'll
be
seeing
programming
with
through
their
networks,
as
well
as
with
wers,
who
you
heard
earlier
today,
and
also
a
team
at
the
art
office
of
the
Arts.
So
our
Collective
goal
as
curators
is
to
weave
a
tapestry
performances
as
rich,
as
is
the
city
of
Boston.
So
it's
really
reflecting
the
city
that
we
live
in.
A
We're
really
pushing
the
boundaries
of
what
a
beer
garden
can
be
here
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
thank
the
community
that
has
come
together
to
make
this
space
possible.
There
are
many
of
them
where
I'd
mentioned
our
partners
at
Trillium,
the
city
of
Boston
who's
been,
which
has
been
great
in
on
all
aspects.
My
colleagues
on
the
leadership
team
here
at
Emerson
College.
A
There
is
a
mighty
team,
the
office
of
the
Arts,
with
our
production
team
and
our
operations
team,
their
facilities,
there's
Communications
at
Emerson,
College
and
marketing.
It's
really
taken
a
village
of
people
coming
together
to
make
sure
that
we
are
here
today,
and
there
are
a
number
of
people
who
made
this
possible.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
thanks
to
them
and
also
a
special
thanks
to
our
neighbors
who
are
around
us.
A
They
have
been
loving
this
project,
we'll
see
how
much
they
love
us,
as
we
continue
to
crank
up
the
music,
So,
Good
Vibes
and
thanks
to
our
neighbors
and
to
the
vision
of
our
incredible
mayor
who
had
the
foresight
to
say
we
needed
to
really
reinvigorate
this
space.
This
particular
part
of
the
common,
so
we're
privileged
to
be
here
and
I'm
excited
to
Welcome
to
the
stage
now
our
interim
president
Bill
Gilligan,
to
talk
a
few
remarks
on
behalf
of
the
college.
So
welcome
come
and
again
and
again
and
again
we're
here
until
November.
F
F
F
E
And
so
I
want
to
thank
leaders
from
our
parks
department.
We
have
our
chief
of
energy
environment
and
open
space
for
everyone,
Maria
white
Hammond,
our
Parks
commissioner
Ryan
Woods
Beth,
who
led
the
entire
process
within
the
parks
department
of
really
shepherding
crew
and
project
managing
every
piece
of
this
two
of
our
partners
and
state
representatives
up
at
the
state
house.
We
have
Chris
morale
here
and
we
have
Sam
Montano,
who
represent
parts
of
Boston
and
are
we're
first
in
line
at
the
bar
I
saw.
D
A
E
And
for
everyone
who
already
spoke
Esser
and
David
bill
into
the
entire
team
that
made
this
possible
on
the
board
and
on
the
design
front,
things
don't
often
happen
very
fast
in
government.
They
especially
can
take
a
little
while
when
there
are
much
of
the
historic
pieces
of
our
city
included
in
that,
and
so
it
really
did
take
a
village.
Oh
and
welcome
up
our
city
council
president
Ed
Flynn
as
well
a
partner
at
the
city
council
level.
E
So
I
just
wanted
to
remind
everyone.
We
are
a
city
that
strives
to
be
home
for
everyone,
and
that
means
we
are
activating
every
corner
of
Boston
every
Community.
We
want
you
to
celebrate
and
build
community
downtown.
We
want
you
to
visit
and
take
that
community
and
get
to
know
each
and
every
one
of
our
neighborhoods,
and
we
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
fun
and
enjoying
every
bit
of
what
Boston
has
to
offer
as
well,
and
so
only
here
in
this
city.
E
Do
we
have
that
sense
of
History,
mixed
with
the
arts
and
culture
and
performance
of
such
an
important
institution
like
Emerson,
with
locally
brewed
beer,
with
locally
with
our
local
businesses
providing
delicious
food?
So
come
again
and
again
as
as
was
mentioned
in
two
days,
it
will
be
20
degrees,
warmer
and
I.
Think
what
will
be
on
a
good
pattern
from
there
on
out.
I
did
want
to
just
say.
Most
of
all,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
feels
like
they
are
they
own
every
bit
of
our
city
right.
E
G
H
H
These
are
the
kind
of
spaces
that
my
role
was
created
for
to
Foster,
to
hear,
to
listen,
to
y'all,
to
get
government
out
of
a
city
hall
to
create
connections
and
I'm
I'm
to
be
a
liaison
and
a
convener
between
our
businesses,
our
residents,
the
folks
who
Patron
our
businesses
and
City
Hall
I,
want
to
give
a
shout
out
also
to
our
chief
Elliott
Ortega
over
there
she's
our
chief
of
culture
and
arts,
and
we
want
to
see
more
right.
We
want
to
see
more
of
this.
H
We
want
to
see
a
lot
of
places,
so
we
can
belong
more
diversity
in
this
spaces
that
we
are
occupying,
and
how
can
we
amplify
the
beautiful
spaces
that
we
have
the
vibrant,
music
and
culture
that
we
have
here
to
the
nth
degree,
even
more
right?
The
city
is
special
and
I
want
us
to
highlight
that
and
and
enjoy
it
in
that
way,
all
right
all
right.
So.
E
While
I
have
the
note
one
other
example
of
how
we
are
doing,
things
that
have
never
been
done
before
and
we
were
told
would
be
impossible
to
make
our
city
more
fun
and
welcoming
today.
Boston
also
announced
that
we
are,
for
the
very
first
time
ever,
creating
a
process
for
outdoor
patios
to
become
dog
friendly
so
that
we
can
have
every
member
of
the
family
enjoying
the
outdoors
in
our
restaurants
as
well.
Okay,
so
I
think
it's
time
to
cut
the
ribbon
myself.
