Good Morning Gloucester

Another fun opportunity to help one of our own

The new signage on the parking kiosks should help a bit with the confusion we see every day on Main Street. This driver’s signage was recently seen outside our shop also. Not sure if it worked but it was worth a try I think.

We noticed the Cargo building along Union St in Manchester was cordoned off so I stopped to look. There was a representative of the demolition company on hand to offer some details for the planned demolition in the next day or two. This allowed us to go back and check during the actual process. Manchester is experiencing main drag detours this week and last due to this project. I thought it was a genius move by the demolition comapny to have someone on hand to answer questions and provide details. As I understood it, traffic flow will be restored A sometime this week.

GLOUCESTER, MA – The City of Gloucester is continuing implementation of its Community Wildfire Protection Plan through a new wildfire mitigation initiative led collaboratively by the Gloucester Fire Department and Department of Public Works.

The City recently received a $45,000 grant from the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) to support five to six days of mechanical wildfire mitigation assistance focused on improving fire access roads throughout Gloucester.

Beginning Tuesday, May 26, the Gloucester Fire Department and DPW partnered with Mayer Tree Service to clear dead and dried vegetation, remove overgrowth encroaching on access roads, and improve accessibility for emergency response vehicles in areas identified as posing an extreme wildfire risk. This work is designed to ensure that fire apparatus can safely and efficiently access wooded and remote areas in the event of a wildfire emergency.

“These improvements are a critical step in reducing wildfire risk and strengthening emergency access throughout our community,” said Fire Chief Eric Smith. “By proactively addressing hazardous vegetation and improving fire access roads, we are helping protect residents, neighborhoods, and natural resources.”

The project is the first step in directly supporting the goals outlined in Gloucester’s Community Wildfire Protection Plan, which identifies strategies to reduce wildfire hazards, improve preparedness, and strengthen community resilience. The work is limited due to funding, so the City is actively pursuing additional funding opportunities to continue the process as well as other strategies from the Community Wildfire Protection Plan. 

Residents may notice temporary work activity in targeted areas during the mitigation period. The City appreciates the public’s cooperation as crews complete this important safety work.

The annual Fishermen’s Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, August 8th at 5:00 PM .  This Service is to remember and honor all of those who have lost their lives in the long history of Gloucester’s fishing industry.  The Service starts with a procession from the American Legion, down Middle Street and onto Stacy Boulevard. Everyone is invited to join the procession.  It is led by a line of drummers and many of those walking carry flowers to toss into the sea at the end of the ceremony to remember loved ones or hold boat oars carrying the names of Gloucester fishing boats, past and present.  

 

 

Please join the Fishermen’s Memorial Service Committee in remembering those who lost their lives fishing from America’s oldest seaport.

Gloucester, MA – Gloucester Stage Company received five Elliot Norton Awards at the 43rd Annual Elliot Norton Awards ceremony held Monday evening at the Huntington Theatre in Boston, following a record-setting fourteen nominations across multiple productions during the company’s 2025 season.

The recognition further solidifies Gloucester Stage’s growing reputation as one of Greater Boston’s leading midsize theater companies, with nominations spanning acting, directing, design, and production categories.

Gloucester Stage award recipients included:

Amanda Fallon (The Glass Menagerie) – Outstanding Lighting Design, Midsize or Small
Liza Giangrande (The Glass Menagerie) – Outstanding Featured Performance in a Play, Midsize
Valyn Lyric Turner (No Child…) – Outstanding Solo Performance
Doug Lockwood (The Glass Menagerie) – Outstanding Director, Midsize
The Glass Menagerie – Outstanding Play, Midsize

Gloucester Stage received nominations across three productions — The Glass Menagerie, The Garbologists, and No Child… — reflecting the company’s commitment to producing work that is artistically ambitious, emotionally resonant, and deeply connected to contemporary audiences.

“To have work recognized across so many disciplines — acting, directing, design, and production — is tremendously meaningful,” said Rebecca Bradshaw, Producing Artistic Director of Gloucester Stage Company. “As a small theater on Cape Ann, there is something incredibly gratifying about seeing the work being created here recognized alongside some of the region’s most respected companies. These nominations and awards reflect the extraordinary artists who bring their talent to Gloucester and the collaborative culture that continues to thrive here.”

Particular recognition for The Glass Menagerie across scenic, lighting, costume, and sound design categories further highlights Gloucester Stage’s growing reputation for producing visually and emotionally immersive theatrical experiences.

This comes as Gloucester Stage launches its 2026 season with the regional premiere of Bad Books by Sharyn Rothstein, followed by Harold Pinter’s Betrayal, the world premiere of Dalloway: First Love, and the regional premiere of Moon Man Walk by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright James Ijames.

As the company continues to expand its artistic profile and regional visibility, Gloucester Stage remains committed to producing bold, thought-provoking work that sparks conversation and connection.
