An opportunity to perform in a mini stage production of the classic Disney musical 101 Dalmatians  as well as develop basic stage presence, confidence, and theatre skills in this week-long intensive .

Playmaking 101

  • 8-11 year olds
  • M-F: 10:30-12:30 

This week-long intensive offers young actors the opportunity to work as an ensemble to turn a children’s story or fairytale into a play. Through creative exploration, brainstorming, improvising, scripting, and rehearsing, the ensemble will turn the story into a play. We will perform our new work for friends and family on the final day of class. Playmaking can help young actors develop important life skills like active listening, cooperation, eye contact, and positive self-expression as well as learn about storytelling, acting and creating a play.

“The Pink House”

Newbury’s Pink House no longer stands as of very recently and I was admittedly a bit sad to find this photo in my phone while searching for something else this weekend.

“The Pink House was an uninhabited historic house and popular photography and painting subject in Newbury, Massachusetts, United States. The house was built in 1925 and was privately owned until it was sold to Parker River National Wildlife Refuge for $375,000 in 2011.”

DownRiver Ice Cream Is Open

Sweet! Downriver Ice Cream along 133 in Ipswich is open for the season (conveniently located across the road from a dispensary haha). I stopped by recently for a little treat. Well, this sundae was a fair size and hit the spot!
