Rogers Street Theater reprises great Evening of Dorothy Parker #GloucesterMA
Views of and from Rogers Street Theater (former Empire space/Floating Lotus entrance on Main) before the show
An Evening of Dorothy Parker: Staged Reading Celebrating Her Life & Work
A collabortive presentation by Carole Frohlich, David McCaleb & Nick Neyeloff with Sally Nutt & Lauren Suchecki
Rogers Street Theater, 68 Rogers Street, Gloucester, MA. www.RogersStreetTheater.org
Four expressive actors linger, pause and saunter through Parker bon mots and excerpts from her poems, prose, plays, reviews and ruminations. Snippets of her biography accompany segues, sparingly and effectively. The evening works for ardent fans or uninitiated because of the writing, staging and nuanced interpretation. This reading and fine acting honored Parker’s immense and undeniable writing and observational talent, and evoked her mastery of internal dialogue. Felt poignant, fresh and relevant.

FOR OUR FATHERS collaboration | soprano Ute Gfrerer & mixed media artist Lisa Rosowsky at Gloucester Meetinghouse April 28 co-sponsored by Temple Ahavat Achim
press release for upcoming program:
FOR OUR FATHERS, Sunday, April 28, 2019 7:30pm, at the Gloucester Meetinghouse: acclaimed Austrian soprano Ute Gfrerer, accompanied by pianist William Merrill, and renowned Boston artist Lisa Rosowsky present a deeply moving evening of song and art, based on the legacy of silence of their two fathers during World War II, one an Austrian member of the Nazi Youth Party, and one a French Jew. In a unique collaboration, the two artists present a Holocaust-themed program of music and mixed media artworks, based on memories of their fathers. The event is co-hosted with Temple Ahavat Achim. The Meetinghouse (home of the Unitarian Universalist Church) is located on the green at the corner of Middle and Church Streets (accessible side entrance at 10 Church Street with an elevator). Tickets ($45 preferred, $30 general, $10 students with ID, under 12 free) are available at the door and in-advance with more information at gloucestermeetinghouse.org
About the program from the artist, Lisa Rosowsky:
When we met in 2017, Ute had already developed a repertoire of musical performances incorporating music that had been set to poems by writers caught up in the Holocaust, and for more than a decade I had been creating mixed media works of art around being the daughter of a survivor. We knew we wanted to find a way to weave together our work into an audio-visual program, and it became my task to craft the presentation. We were amazed by how many of her songs matched up thematically with my pieces! Our goal was to move the audience seamlessly between each song and each work of art, setting both into historical context while offering insight into our individual experiences with our fathers. Over the course of a few months, we developed this performance, which we are pleased to share with you.
Benefit event: This event is co-sponsored by Temple Ahavat Achim with support from the Paulson Fund, by the Series Sponsors of the Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation, and by the Massachusetts Cultural Council. Proceeds will be used to benefit the ongoing preservation of the historic (1806) Meetinghouse as well as to support Temple Ahavat Achim’s Rabbi Myron and Eileen Geller Endowment Campaign for the Sylvia Cohen Religious School and Family Learning

Salem State University Inducts four Gloucester Freshmen and 196 others into Honor Society
SALEM, MA-The First Year Experience Office at Salem State University inducted four Gloucester residents and 196 other students into the Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society.
Salem State freshmen Abigail Feener, Harley Pereira, Maria Cinekkum and Thea Louise Thomaseth Bugge were inducted into the honor society along with other first year students who achieved a 3.6 GPA or higher as part of the eighth class inducted into the Salem State chapter.
The first year students, along with their friends and family, attended the 2019-2020 Alpha Lambda Delta induction ceremony, which took place at Veterans Hall in the Ellison Campus center on February 22, 2019.
During the induction ceremony, new members were sworn into the society and awarded a membership pin and certificate. The Alpha Lambda Delta executive board spoke at the event about the impact that membership has had on their academic success.
Along with student and professional staff from the First Year Experience Office, other members of the Salem State community were featured as speakers for the event. Salem State University Provost and Academic Vice President David Silva congratulated and encouraged the first year students on their honor.
“As students who have figured out the necessary skills and strategies to be successful, I want to challenge you to give back to your fellow students,” said Silva. “I hope that you will take on the role of mentor and role model for future generations of students at the institution.”
Alpha Lambda Delta at Salem State University re-established itself in 2012 and has inducted over a 1,000 members since then. These students are now a part of a society that encourages superior academic achievement, community service, and playing a helpful role in society.
With the society’s mission in mind, the Salem State chapter continues to expand its service project opportunities and encourages the academic success of its members through their collegiate experience.
For more information and upcoming events, please follow the chapter Facebook page “Alpha Lambda Delta at Salem State”.
