Celebrating her Birthday,
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY”
The Larcom Performing Arts Theatre
If you’re looking for a holiday show, some live music, or even a good laugh….this could very well be the ticket!
The Larcom Theatre, in addition to being full of history and really quite beautiful, has a pretty diverse line-up on deck for your enjoyment. Do yourself a favor and check out their schedule.
THE LARCOM PERFORMING ARTS THEATRE
We’ll be going Sunday evening to hear the Eric Mintel Quartet and their Charlie Brown Jazz Tour….
The Eric Mintel Quartet have been thrilling audiences of all ages with their electrifying jazz, on Sunday the Eric Mintel Quartet performs their highly successful “Charlie Brown Jazz” concert tour featuring the beloved holiday cartoon and music by Vince Guaraldi. Songs include, Christmas Time is Here, Skating, Christmas is Coming and the legendary Linus and Lucy plus many other reworked holiday favorites. This concert is fun for the entire family
…and we’ll definitely be ordering tickets to one of the performances of A Charlie Brown Christmas.
The wide variety of events planned this month and next also include Suzanne Vega (loved her), several performances of the Nutcracker, A Rolling Stones show called “Satisfaction”, and two great comedians…Paul D’Angelo (on New Year’s Eve…such a fun idea) and Lenny Clarke.
The Larcom is quite the little gem in the community of Beverly and surrounding towns and I know I, for one, need to remember to check out the schedule every once in awhile to see what is happening.

Fish Tales at Gloucester Stage Friday
This is the live storytelling event that has been keeping Gloucester entertained for the last four years. This time the theme is therapy and therapists, so there are sure to be special stories that are funny or poignant by turns. And how do you really feel about that?
It’s a joint fundraiser for the Writers Center and the Stage Company, just the sort of collaboration that makes our town the vibrant art and culture scene that it is.
So come hear folks you know speak from the heart, you’ll be glad you did.

Santa’s arrival and tree lighting ceremony. READ HERE
From http://www.rockportusa.com
Where else can you see Santa arrive by lobster boat? Santa will arrive at Rockport’s T-Wharf on Rockport Harbor on Saturday, December 3, 2016 at 1:00 PM, following a brisk lobster boat ride across Sandy Bay. Then Santa will climb up onto a Rockport Forest Fire truck and proceed along T-Wharf and Mt. Pleasant Street to the Old Firehouse led by Rockport cub scouts. This year Santa will be able to linger a while to visit and have photos taken with the children until the Tree Lighting Ceremony begins. Then Santa will ascend the platform to greet the crowd and kick off the Tree Lighting festivities, before climbing back onto the fire truck to begin his long return journey to the North Pole.
The Tree Lighting Ceremony will get underway at 4 PM welcoming Santa and the public at the Tree in Dock Square with carols and a stirring rendition of “Christmas in Rockport”.
Singers are invited to join the Dock Square Carolers to welcome in the season. A rehearsal for the carolers will be held at the Rockport Baptist Church at 2:30 PM prior to the ceremony.
The Chairperson of the Board of Selectmen will offer official greetings from the Town and then pull the switch to light this year’s Rockport Christmas tree.

Decked the Halls of the Beauport Hotel
A friend and I went to the Beauport Hotel last night for their “Deck the Halls” event. We had a really nice time and it was just what I needed to help get further into the holiday mood. The Beauport, which is exquisitely decorated with what I have previously called Pottery Barn Meets America’s Cup, looks even more beautiful dressed in its holiday best. Kudos to designer, Dana Markos, who was transformed the hotel’s grand main floor into a winter wonderland. Kudos to the hotel staff for their holiday cheer and gracious smiles as guests mingled, nibbled, and sipped.

Meagan’s special Christmas Eve journey helps her to realize and appreciate the importance of her family and friends as well as her own special holiday traditions. During her Christmas Eve travels with Mrs. Claus and the elves, she celebrates Hanukkah, travels back in time to turn of the century Gloucester to see her Italian-Irish ancestors celebrate the holidays, meets famous characters including The Cratchit Family and the young Ebenezer and Fan Scrooge from Charles Dickens’A Christmas Carol, and new to this year’s show.
