HEIDI DALLIN IS A GLOUCESTER TREASURE!

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Christmas Eve I was at a wonderful party at the beautiful and welcoming home of Grace and Guiseppe Numerosi chatting with Heidi Dallin when she was suddenly surrounded by a group of girls eager to talk with her. She greeted them all warmly, laughed and joked, and was so sweet with them. Grace corralled the girls and we managed to get a phone snapshot of the energetic troupe.

Heidi teaches the Youth Acting Workshop and all four girls were in Gloucester Stage’s annual hit production of “Holiday Delights.” She gives tirelessly of herself to all the kids in the Gloucester Stage and public school plays, makes everyone feel special and uniquely deserving of their roles, and has a real gift for getting the best out of her aspiring thespians. A heartfelt thanks to Heidi Dallin for all that she does for Gloucester youth!

Moms can take the kids to Holiday Delights tomorrow while Dad is at Men’s Night

Posted on by Vickie & Peter

Or you could both go this weekend.  If you’ve never seen Holiday Delights before, don’t miss it this year.  No, it’s not JUST for parents of kids who are in it.  This is a professional production that you will actually enjoy.  And when you see one of these young actors in a major film, you’ll be able to say, I saw that kid when  . . .  Plus, If you bring your kids (and grandkids) they’ll just  love it!
