Gloucester – May 17, 2010 – The Gloucester High School Theatre Program will present The Music Man, June 4 & 5 at 7:00 p.m. and June 6 at 2:00 p.m. in the high school auditorium. This classic American musical (book and music by Meredith Willson) features small town charm, tunes you can hum (including “Seventy Six Trombones” and “(Ya Got) Trouble”) and a con man reformed by the power of love – a real crowd pleaser.

The production features a set designed and painted by seniors Eric Brown and Hayden Wilson and choreography by sophomore Katy Geraghty. A live orchestra consisting of both adults and student musicians will accompany the players.
Tickets for the performances are $7.00 ($5.00 for students). For more information please contact ghstheatreprogram@gmail.com.

Bob Viau Cape Ann Artist
A Call To Artists
From Bob Viau;
First and foremost, a big thank you for highlighting Cape Ann Artists. I am responding to your “Call for Artists”.
Attached is a photograph and description of a sculpted 3 x6 relief comprised of bronze, aluminum, copper and brass I created entitled “Philadelphia”.
There is quite a history behind this piece in that at the time I completed the work it went on display at a corporate office in Boston where a friend of mine worked. His company was relocating and I was notified to pick up the piece. When I arrived the next morning I discovered the sculpture was gone and only the brass frame remained mounted on the wall. This sculpture of Philadelphia was nearly 400 pounds. It would be no easy task to steal it but someone managed to do just that. With the help of my friend and the police, the search was on. I showed photographs of the piece to everyone. No one had any information. Completely discouraged, I knew I would probably never see the piece again. Living in Gloucester and seven years later I get a phone call out of the blue from an old friend who was an electrician in the wharf buildings in Boston. He says “Bobby, you know that sculpture of yours that was stolen? I have it”. You can imagine the shock. He explained he caught some guys moving it into an office building. He told them it was stolen property and the name Robert Viau was sculpted into the back. They handed it over and took off. It turns out they were connected to an advertising agency that was located a few floors up from the Boston office it was originally displayed at. When they heard the business was relocating, they came down in the night and stole it off the wall. It is back now and currently for SALE for private or corporate collection. The piece is listed at $13,500. I am offering a 15% commission to anyone who can complete full sale of the piece. All the work on my website is my own at www.studiovo.com . Please visit my studio at the 121R at the East Gloucester Marina.
Best, Bob Viau

Quite An Honor- Thanks Sally Goldenbaum
Sally Goldenbaum a national bestselling author was kind enough to write in a little blurb in the acknowledgements about Good Morning Gloucester. She writes inside the front cover of her new book “Moon Spinners “Joey Ciaramitaro and his Good Morning Gloucester blog, a daily feed which provides grist for my writing mill and keeps me in touch with life on Cape Ann.”
Pretty cool! and she even spelled my last name right!
As an aside. I know that you’re not supposed to start a sentence with and, but that’s the way it came out when I was thinking it and I feel like when I write I’m having a conversation with you, my reader. So all the spelling and grammar nazis can all go to hell. Thanks a bunch Sally!
I spoke to the great people at the Bookstore of Gloucester at 61 Main Street in Gloucester and they are ordering copies as i type this to have in stock if you are interested in buying it.

From Deb Clarke;
hey there!
i went to the Cape Ann Historical Museum on saturday afternoon to find that my paintings are not currently on exhibit. Peter Vincent’s paintings greet you at the entrance to the Maritime Collection. and in the upstairs hall, the bright wonderful world of Clara Wainwright. There is a quilt of the world that is in progress. the instructions say: pick up a needle and make a stitch. i will go back to do so, and i want to look at some etchings that caught my attention, as well as, the new aquisitions (2 bernard chaet seascapes are worth another look).

Toodeloos and Glazed Team Up For Tile Project
You can go to Glazed where 200 tiles have been pre-purchased and you can design your own tile for free which will be installed on the walls of Toodeloos Toy Store at 137 Main Street once it opens Memorial Day Weekend!
A great free activity for you and your kids to make something that will be permanently installed downtown for years to come. Imagine year after year being able to pop into the store and see your child’s tile on the wall as they get older!
What a great idea.
