What did Inge Berge do with all his "old stuff"?
Well, he put it on a digital-only album that you can get on-line. But what Inge calls “old stuff”, we call it an excellent mix of songs from soulful solos to highly produced tracks in Inge’s inimitable style. Certainly worth a look. Check it out.
Plenty of music and dancing in Gloucester tonight. See full lineup

Catholic Schools Week at St. Ann School

Catholic Schools Week is a time when we are able to open our doors to the
community at large and showcase the very best we have to offer at St. Ann
School. The theme for Catholic Schools Week 2012 is Faith, Academics, and
Service, which are all areas of strength at St. Ann School.
On Tuesday, 1/31, our K – 8 students were entertained by Jedlie, who
presented “The Challenge – To Live as Jesus Taught Us” (www.jedlie.com).
Through magic, stories, humor, song, and dance, Jedlie presented a faith-based
program for our students that encouraged them to treat each other with respect
and to stand up for one another.

Our students have spent the past month collecting warm weather gear for
families in need, and we will wrap up the week with a Patriots Spirit Day on
Friday to raise money for Catholic Charities.
For more information about St. Ann School, please visit www.stannsschool.com
or call 978-283-3455.

Community Stuff Friday

Hi Joey,
We are announcing the NYC premiere of The Yeats Game, which had its world premiere in Gloucester, back in ’07. With a much re-written script and a fine cast, the comedy opens Feb. 29 for a month’s run. A pr sheet is attached.
This is a wonderful production, and we have sponsorship help from the American Irish Historical Society, the W.B. Yeats Society of New York, and many others. Kathy Richter, who has worked both with Abingdon and Atlantic and other theaters, directs. I hope you can catch the show and let others know about it.
All the best,
John
(New York – January 3, 2012) – American Storyboard presents The Yeats Game, a farce of improbable darkness written by John J. Ronan. Kathy Richter directs a cast of four including Toby Wherry, Susan Stout, Jennifer Silverstein and Lucius Wall. Performances for The Yeats Game will be held at The Producers’ Club, 358 West 44th Street in NYC for twenty-four performances beginning Wednesday, February 29 to Sunday, March 25, 2012.
The Yeats Game is a farce about middle-age choices and their ridiculous consequences. At a funeral, as two frisky couples contemplate a friend’s fatal, love-nest heart attack, they flash back to their own recent snowed-in weekend at a mountain cabin. There, a board game designed for age-hating Boomers leads to tangled romance as the old friends explore love, lust, marriage and mischief. Just as guilt prompts confession, and all things point to reform, maturity and reluctant virtue, the play’s close tells us that virtue is a weak motivator, immaturity has its advantages – and that the corpse is perhaps not so dead.
A comical, brainy look at the pre-geezer years, The Yeats Game was inspired by the poet’s famous line: “Only
two topics can be of the least interest to a serious and studious mood – sex and the dead.” The Yeats Game, which played to standing room only audiences at Boston Playwrights Theatre, is a booze-, Viagra-, dice-driven romp.
The Yeats Game is produced by American Storyboard. Director: Kathy Richter; Playwright: John J. Ronan; Sound Designer: Timothy Dahl; Production Stage Manager: Keri Taylor; Assistant Stage Manager: Kristin Dwyer; Publicist: Paul Siebold/Off Off PR.
The Yeats Game plays for twenty-four performances from Wednesday, February 29 to Sunday, March 25, 2012, with performances Wednesdays & Thursdays at 7:30pm, Saturdays & Sundays at 8pm, and matinee performances on Saturdays and Sundays at 3pm.
Tickets are $30 and can be purchased online at http://www.smarttix.com or by calling 212-868-4444. For more information, please visit www.theyeatsgame.org
Kent Bowker at the Metz Gallery
The Metz gallery at the Sawyer Free Library will be showing the figurative Essex paintings of Kent Bowker through the month of Feburary. As described by the artist, ‘I have tried to catch the essence of the Essex river tidal basin , the great drumlins, and the untidy elegance of the seaside shacks and houses that crowd the Conomo Point, and the sense of tide continually changing the aspect and color of the marsh. I do not pretend to recreate the landscape or ordinary realism.’
