“I am humbled and profoundly grateful to the constituents who have offered their signatures and, more importantly, their trust throughout my first term,” said Verga. “Their support strengthens my resolve to continue working for a better Gloucester.”

Since his inauguration, Mayor Verga has initiated and overseen numerous projects aimed at improving infrastructure, supporting local businesses, and advancing education in Gloucester. His dedication to making Gloucester a city of opportunity for all of its residents has earned him a broad base of support.

The Verga campaign’s grassroots efforts paid off with volunteers gathering signatures throughout the community. They also engaged with residents, listening to their concerns and sharing Mayor Verga’s plans for the future of Gloucester.

As Mayor Verga looks toward the election, he continues to encourage all residents to participate in the many opportunities for open dialogue about the issues they care about most. His campaign is built on the belief that every citizen should have a say in Gloucester’s future.

Young people getting together to rehearse and perform show tunes, traditional music, and classical pieces?

This will be fun!

But it’s not just about fun. It’s about learning, it’s about giving back — and most of all, it’s about building community.

Young singers and musical theatre enthusiasts ages 6 to 18 are invited to enroll in a brand-new “Community Through Music” Youth Chorus being launched by a group of likeminded North Shore residents, to be conducted by prominent local musician Lucas Callahan.

The group will learn, rehearse, and grow together through music, and present 3 free public concerts, as well as performing at community fundraisers — all part of a commitment to serving the community. And there will be one musical fundraising event each year in support of the Chorus.

“Community Through Music” will rehearse at Ascension Memorial Church, 31 County St., Ipswich, on Monday evenings from 6:30 to 8.

This unique learning and performing opportunity will span the academic year. Tuition will be $800 per year, $400 per semester, with a payment plan available, as well as scholarships. These fees cover the costs of the conductor, accompanist, sheet music, choir folders, and concert programs. Chorus members will also receive a discounted rate for private lessons from the conductor.

THE DING DONGS

A Captivating Comedic Thriller by Playwright Brenda Withers and Director Rebecca Bradshaw

Performances Friday, August 11 through Sunday, August 27

Gloucester Stage Company is excited to announce the highly anticipated opening of THE DING DONGS, a comedic thriller by Cape Cod playwright Brenda Withers and directed by Gloucester Stage’s Artistic Director Rebecca Bradshaw. A part lesson in how power evolves and how intimidation works, audiences will have the opportunity to experience this thought-provoking play beginning Friday, August 11, through Friday, August 27, at the Gloucester Stage Company’s historic waterfront theater. 

Rebecca Bradshaw, will bring Withers’ play to the stage, having directed its 2022 debut at the Kitchen Theatre Company.  Re-uniting the work’s original cast and creative team, she will lead the incredibly talented ensemble of actors in reprising their performances, including Karl Gregory (Joe), Erica Steinhagen (Natalie), and Nael Nacer (Redelmo), who was previously seen at Gloucester Stage in the critically acclaimed regional production of Tiny Beautiful Things for which his powerful performance was nominated for an Elliot Norton Award.  

In the critically acclaimed THE DING DONGS, when sweet-faced strangers show up on a suburban doorstep, the tight-lipped homeowner finds their story suspicious: the house, they claim, was their childhood home, and they’ve come in hopes of getting a quick peek. As they cheerily muscle their way across the threshold, using wit and wordplay to mask a more sinister threat, it becomes clear the couple has no intention of leaving. 

“I’m ecstatic to be able to take a second stab at Brenda Wither’s The Ding Dongs, shared the Director, Rebecca Bradshaw.  “The flexibility and trust Brenda instills in her interpreters is a playground for a director. This play has a way of twisting and turning with every line, even after watching it countless times it still leaves my jaw dropped. I can’t wait for Gloucester to join this wild ride!”

“The Ding Dongs” delves into the complexities of human relationships. It bends reality with wit and mystery as we are asked to examine who has the right to stand on the land they inhabit,” said Christopher Griffith, Gloucester Stage’s Managing Director. “Brenda Withers’ brilliant, witty, and insightful script combined with our own Artistic Director Rebecca Bradshaw’s masterful direction promises an unforgettable experience for our audiences, one that will linger long after the final curtain call.”

THE DING DONGS will run from Friday, August 11, to Sunday, August 27. All performances, unless noted, are Wednesday and Thursday at 7:30 pm, Friday and Saturday at 8:00 pm, and Saturday and Sunday at 3:00 pm at Gloucester Stage Company located at 267 East Main Street, Gloucester.
