You’re a good show, Charlie Brown: Family classic delights in Gloucester

Gloucester – Happiness is … putting the right show and the right cast together on the right stage.

There is a marvelous production of the Broadway hit musical “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” playing through June 21 at the Gloucester Stage Company. Kicking off its 30th anniversary season with this little gem of a show, the theater has picked a winner to celebrate Gloucester’s Pathways for Children, the leading provider of programs for children on Cape Ann. Local benefactors have subsidized free tickets for many area children through Pathways and other organizations.

The show has been well cast with polished professional singer/actors, and director Scott LeFeber uses the intimate stage nicely for this family show. The little theater seats the audience on three sides of the projecting stage, so every seat in the house is close to the action. To read more, click here to take you to the Beacon article.

Beautiful Industry – Block

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

 This is one of many blocks aboard the Plan B, a former tuna seiner that is being converted to a herring seiner by the folks at Cape Seafood on the State Fish Pier.  The reason they are converting the Plan B is because the boat had seine history for herring.  During summer area closures which restrict the Cape Seafoods Mid-Water Trawling herring boats from fishing for herring, seine boats are allowed to fish for them.   So now they will still be able to catch and provide fresh lobster bait rather than rely on costly frozen lobster bait for their customers.

Things To Do- Tall Ship Camp

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

From Jo-Anne Crawford

Hi Joey

Thanks for all you do for our community!
Here is the program we are trying to put together with the Spirit of Massachusetts for kids and families of Cape Ann.
We are working with SailGloucester out of the Mayors office, and will send you their press release as soon as it is complete.

Ahoy Sailors…..
We are in the 11th hour to do the Tall Ship camp – will your child and a friend would consider it?
We are working with the Gloucester  Mayors office and a new Sail Gloucester initiative that is sooo exciting – but I need to firm up this trip
we need a few more kids
It will be June 28- July 2 (5 days/ 4nights) @ $750 pp this is just the cost of renting the Schooner – and it is a great deal!!! We are not trying to make money – we just believe that our Cape Ann kids deserve this opportunity!!!!!
Thanks for any ideas and input
Jo-Anne and Captain Amanda

Arley Pett’s Beautiful Old School Gloucester Map Coasters At Alexandra’s Bread

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Every time I go into Alexandra’s bread I’m astounded by all the cool stuff in there.  It’s not just bread either.  I hesitate to say that Alexandra’s talents are almost wasted in this space because I’d hate to see her go, but really she ought to be a buyer for a huge store.  She has assembled the coolest collections of things like Arley Pett’s 1899 Gloucester Map Coasters.

$4.25 Lg Meatball Sub At Supreme Roast Beef

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

The large meatball sub at Supreme had a nice toasted sub roll.  Not a ton of meat but it was tasty and not all that expensive.  Other places that serve $6.00 lg meatball subs are not overcharging in comparison because you probably get double the meat at the other places but if you are not looking for a huge sub this sub tasted great and is a good option.
