THE CAPE ANN YMCA SUMMER PERFORMANCE CAMP
JULY 6 – JULY 31
PERFORMANCES: July 30 & July 31 on Stage at the Cape Ann YMCA @ CAY
News from Heidi Dallin:
The 2026 Cape Ann YMCA Performance Camp runs from July 6th through July 31st, culminating in two public performances of the fresh new musical adaptation of Alice in Wonderland JR outside on the turf at the Cape Ann YMCA . The camp meets Monday – Friday from 9am to 4pm at the Rockport Teen Center, 32 Pooles Lane, Rockport. MA. The Cape Ann YMCA Summer Performance Camp welcomes participants ages 6-17 of all experience levels and introduces them to the basics of professional theatre. Students work alongside theatre professionals in acting, music, dance, stage management, and scenic, prop and costume design while building confidence, communication and teamwork skills.
The 2026 Performance Camp brings to life Alice’s travels through the curious world of Wonderland. In this charming updated retelling of the classic Lewis Carroll stories, Alice encounters the ever-tardy White Rabbit; 3 grinning Cheshire Cats; a cool Caterpillar; the wacky Mad Hatter; Tweedle Dum & Tweedle Dee; a temperamental Queen; the King, her henpecked Husband; and many more beloved Wonderland characters.
This new musical adaptation includes beloved Disney songs—”I’m Late,” “The Unbirthday Song,” and “Painting the Roses Red”—as well as music from the 2010 Tim Burton live-action film.
Whether this is your first experience with Alice or your hundredth, you’ll lose your head (and your heart) for this new Alice in Wonderland JR.

Check out this week’s live music line-up at the Rhumb Line and pick your shows! See you there.
We found that one of our favorite spots has re-opened for the season so we stopped by Russell Orchards in Ipswich to see what was what. As usual, their offerings of baked goods, fresh in season fruits, ice cream, wine and more kept us happily entertained. The staff is unfailingly friendly and helpful. It’s a pleasure to stop by there several times throughout the season.

from its days in Gloucester’s fishing fleet to its revival as a living symbol of maritime heritage. Join us at 7:00 PM for this special centennial celebration aboard Adventure. The evening will feature a cocktail reception, passed appetizers and a light dinner, along with live music and dockside access in a festive waterfront setting. At 9:00 PM, guests will enjoy a private fireworks viewing from the deck, offering a spectacular finale to an unforgettable night on the water. This milestone celebration is more than an evening out—it’s a chance to honor 100 years of maritime tradition, support preservation efforts, and reconnect with friends while making new ones along the way. Summer cocktail attire encouraged. As a National Historic Landmark, the Schooner Adventure has played a significant role in shaping the nation’s maritime identity. With its rich history and cultural significance, the schooner has become an iconic symbol of American sailing. The Schooner Adventure’s story is one of resilience and determination, having been reborn as a symbol of maritime heritage after its initial years as a fishing vessel.

We decided to go to the Azorean on Washington St to celebrate Margarita Monday with a friend for an early dinner. I ordered a strawberry margarita this time. Whereas last week’s margarita was spicy, this one was decidedly sweet but refreshing and enjoyable. We also ordered butternut squash ravioli and chicken; marinated haddock and Bife Toureiro (my go-to). We all enjoyed our meals and were glad our friend Susan could join us.
Meet Billy, Billy made the journey to Massachusetts alongside his brother, Blue, in hopes of finding a forever home. After being found in a dangerous, high-traffic area with many stray dogs, a kind woman stepped in to bring the two brothers to safety-giving Billy the second chance he deserves. Just like his brother, Billy is a gentle, sweet soul who has done wonderfully living with other dogs and even cats in his foster home. He may be a bit shy when meeting new people, but with a little patience and reassurance, his loving personality starts to shine through. Billy is still gaining confidence and learning the basics, like walking on a leash. He would likely thrive in a home with another dog to help guide him and make him feel secure. With time, love, and a little encouragement, Billy is sure to blossom into an amazing companion.
Billy has joined our extended stay club, meaning his fee has been reduced in hopes to find his forever home!
