Forget traffic counts, dinner reservations, or how many out-of-state plates are still on 41. One of the funniest ways to measure season in Naples is sitting under a heat lamp at Costco.

Costco is reportedly moving around 500 rotisserie chickens per day right now, down from roughly 750 per day during peak season. Not exactly an official census, but hey, it tracks!”

Creator Katie Dippold, star Matthew Rhys, and the cast open up about the New England origins of their new Apple TV show

By Matt Juul Globe Staff,Updated April 27, 2026, 5:30 a.m.

“

Tall tales about ghosts, ghouls, and things that go bump in the night have long been woven into the fabric of local lore, and “Widow’s Bay” is tapping into that history to tell a distinctly New England story.

Premiering Wednesday on Apple TV, the new comedy horror series stars Emmy winner Matthew Rhys (“The Americans”), also an executive producer on the show, as Tom Loftis, a Bay State native and mayor of the sleepy, fictional island of Widow’s Bay. Despite its idyllic appearance, the town is harboring a laundry list of supernatural secrets. Loftis wants to turn this Wi-Fi-less relic of the past into a modern vacation getaway like Bar Harbor or Martha’s Vineyard, but his constituents, who are mainly lifelong locals, aren’t exactly on board with the plan, especially since the mayor (at least initially) doesn’t buy into their otherworldly superstitions.

FEATURED VIDEO

Rhys credits “Widow’s Bay” creator, showrunner, and executive producer Katie Dippold for the “shrewd move” of setting the series in New England, noting how the region comes with so much history and folklore.”

— Love, Lurches, and a Most Unusual Dinner Party

Auditions will be held May 26

GLOUCESTER, Mass. (April 27, 2026) — Dust off the cobwebs and set an extra place at the table… The Annisquam Village Players will this summer present The Addams Family, a wickedly funny musical comedy where romance blooms in the unlikeliest of crypts. Auditions for numerous roles of all ages will be held at 6:15 p.m. Tuesday, May 26, at the Annisquam Village Hall, 36 Leonard St. Auditions for children ages 6-12 years will start at 5:30 p.m.

Teenage and adult participants will be asked to sing a musical selection from the show and read a few selected lines from the script. Those selections and a complete list of available roles can be found on the AVP website,annisquamvillageplayers.com. The children’s audition will just consist of singing the classic song, “Happy Birthday” and will not require any reading. Callbacks will be held May 27.

Based on the New Yorkermagazine, single-panel comic series by Charles Addams, the show takes place in the Addams’ crumbling old Central Park mansion, alive with dark shadows and generations of dearly departed ancestors who simply won’t depart. When teenage daughter, Wednesday, invites her new boyfriend and his annoyingly “normal” parents to dinner, what could possibly go wrong?

Quite a bit.

As the boyfriend’s tidy, conventional family steps into the Addams’ gloriously morbid world, tensions rise faster than a ghost through the ceiling. Personality clashes spark chaos, dinner threatens disaster, and the evening takes a shocking turn when it becomes known that the young couple are engaged to be married.

Cue the mayhem.

Between the devotedly macabre and tango-dancing Morticia and Gomez Addams – along with their intense teenage children, an eccentric Uncle Fester, a 102-year-old grandmother (who may have outlived reason itself) and a hulking, chiseled butler called Lurch who speaks only in heartfelt grunts and groans – the stage is set for comic catastrophe. But in a good way!

And yet—through zombie ancestors, slapstick torture, and morbid humor — love finds a way. By show’s end, both families discover that “normal” is relative… and that love conquers even the most haunted hearts.

Performances will run Aug. 4-9 at the Annisquam Village Hall. Tickets go on sale in July. For more information, visit online at AnnisquamVillagePlayers.com. It’s going to be a great show!

Not just how to ride them, but how to connect with them?

On a private boutique farm in Ipswich, you can experience hands-on sessions centered around learning about horses, their behavior, communication, and the art of natural horsemanship.

These sessions offer a deeper look into the horse-human relationship—teaching you how horses think, how they communicate, and how to build trust through respect, awareness, and presence.

Natural horsemanship is about partnership, not force. It’s about understanding body language, energy, boundaries, and creating a connection rooted in mutual trust.

Set in the peaceful beauty of a boutique farm, these private experiences are perfect for anyone curious about horses, seeking meaningful time in nature, or wanting to learn foundational horsemanship skills in a calm and welcoming environment.

Whether you’re brand new to horses or looking to deepen your understanding, this is a unique opportunity to learn in an intimate, supportive setting.

Discover the wisdom of horses and the power of authentic connection. Let Dréa and Zoe guide you thru a magical journey of discovery.
