Encampment in Dennis

Bayonnet Practice

I hope you were able to see the Confederate and Union camps set up by the Dennis Union Church this weekend. The encampment was part of “Dennis Reads” Lincoln Anniversary and was funded in part by DACC. The reenacters were fabulous and the cannon fire transported me to the Civil War days. Thanks to Village Improvement Society and the Dennis Libraries for bringing this even to town.

Pinocchio Comes to Life Feb.14-22!

At the Gertrude Lawrence Stage, Eventide Arts presents Pinocchio!

This inventive adaptation of the ageless Carlo Collodi story is loaded with the hi-jinks and fast-pacing of the commedia dell’arte and its zany characters — such as Gepetto, Fire Eater, Fox and Cat, and a wonderful Blue Fairy.
