Gloucester – May 17, 2010 – The Gloucester High School Theatre Program will present The Music Man, June 4 & 5 at 7:00 p.m. and June 6 at 2:00 p.m. in the high school auditorium. This classic American musical (book and music by Meredith Willson) features small town charm, tunes you can hum (including “Seventy Six Trombones” and “(Ya Got) Trouble”) and a con man reformed by the power of love – a real crowd pleaser.

40 students are involved in the production, with 30 onstage performers and 10 making up the backstage and technical crews. The production features a set designed and painted by seniors Eric Brown and Hayden Wilson and choreography by sophomore Katy Geraghty. A live orchestra consisting of both adults and student musicians will accompany the players.

Tickets for the performances are $7.00 ($5.00 for students). For more information please contact ghstheatreprogram@gmail.com.

In what they hope will become a new tradition, the GHS Theatre Program is partnering with Chef Reardon and his GHS Culinary Arts students to offer a buffet luncheon prior to Sunday’s matinee performance. The menu consists of baked stuffed chicken breast, rice pilaf, vegetable lasagna, salad, lemonade, ice tea, and cookies for dessert.

Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared from a family gathering on the island owned and inhabited by the powerful Vanger clan. Her body was never found, yet her uncle is convinced it was murder and that the killer is a member of his own tightly knit but dysfunctional family. He employs disgraced financial journalist Mikael Blomkvist and the tattooed, ruthless computer hacker Lisbeth Salander to investigate. When the pair link Harriet’s disappearance to a number of grotesque murders from almost forty years ago, they begin to unravel a dark and appalling family history. But the Vanger’s are a secretive clan, and Blomkvist and Salander are about to find out just how far they are prepared to go to protect themselves.

Based on the international best-selling novel by Stieg Larsson

Mike’s Place

Posted on by Alicia Pensarosa

After a long day of working on the house on Saturday we decided to grab some pizza from Mike’s Place. We ordered “the Favorite” with extra cheese. The favorite is their cheese pizza with sweet sauce. I don’t usually like sweet sauce on pizza, but this was very good.  Obviously the extra cheese isn’t for someone who is watching their waistline.  It’s nice that Mike’s is open late and has the option of take out or you can eat at one of their booths.

Now I need to try Igloo, the ice cream/slushie place, they just opened next door.
