This Week at The Cut!
~ THE CUT LIVE ~

It’s another great week at The Cut! If flying to Vegas to see Dead and Company at The Sphere isn’t in the budget, no worries! We’ve got Dead to the Core right here in Gloucester, and The Cut, just like The Sphere, has an incredible sound system and an amazing view of the stage from anywhere in the house! There are still some tickets available. And as long as we don’t sell out, we’ll be selling them at the door as well.
Little Sister has been such a hit that we’ve talked them into staying on a little longer! Come on down and grab some of their DELICIOUS food. Ordering is done via QR code and you get a text when your food is ready. Quick. Easy. No need to figure out splitting the check. While you wait, grab a drink from the bar and be sure to check out our new arcade games, or play a round of pool!
The Cape Ann Power Yoga event on Sunday is SOLD OUT. But Little Sister will be serving lunch (with a taco special!) from 12-3pm.
Reminder that we’re currently ONLY open when there’s a show/event on the schedule. BUT, you do not need tickets to the show/event to come hang and grab some food.
HOURS:
FRIDAY: 5PM – MIDNIGHT
SUNDAY: 12PM – 3PM

“Beach Trees”
I love finding these little “beach trees” in the sand as the tide recedes. Magnolia Beach, in particular, is often covered with them.

Zoo Adventure
We went to Rhode Island recently on a day trip (very do-able) and made the Roger Williams Park Zoo one of our stops. We try to visit as many zoos as we can and the reciprocal memberships that are part of New England Zoo membership really pay off. We got tickets at 50% off since we showed our New England Zoo card. It was the middle of April vacation week so the Providence zoo was buzzing with families enjoying a beautiful spring day. As our daughter works for the Erie PA zoo, we keep a special eye out so we can report our observances to her. The Roger Williams Park zoo is very nice: family friendly, lots of clear signage, pathways generous. The living areas of the animals seems very appropriate to allow visitors and animals alike some freedom. Here are some photos. More story details and photos available on Facebook at Pat D’s Photos and Adventures. Give it a follow if interested!





Join Us Tomorrow Evening As We Discuss Our Historic Pipe Organ Including Our Goals For Its Restoration!

Program:
5:30 – 6:00 PM | Light Refreshments & Networking
6:00 – 7:00 PM | Presentation
7:00 – 7:15 PM | Conclusion & Q&A
Light refreshments will be served.
Join us as we explore some of the most legendary organists of the 20th century who have played this remarkable instrument, including Virgil Fox, E. Power Biggs, Joseph Bonnet, and Marcel Dupré.
Gather in the Great Hall, surrounded by the organ’s pipes, which are ingeniously built into the very walls of the room, as we share the story of this one-of-a-kind instrument. We’ll also discuss how the organ now sits silent, and unveil our vision to breathe life back into it and bring organ concerts back to the Museum.
This presentation will be led by Peter Kennett, Vice President of the Board of Directors at Hammond Castle Museum and Organ Restoration Team Lead, alongside John Roper, Deputy Team Lead from the Plenum Organ Company.
Admission: Advanced Registration: $20/ Walk-In: $25
