May 26, 2009
Well with such a beautiful holiday weekend behind us, aside from the Biblical rains on Saturday afternoon, it is time to think of summer. The Memorial Day weekend, otherwise known as the unofficial start of summer, made me think of what to do this summer, especially with the economy being what it is.
Let us know what you have planned and help your neighbors with some cost saving ideas.
Broadway in the Parkway
May 19, 2009
The young men and women of the West Roxbury Community Center Players (WRCC Players) should be very proud of the performances they put on this past weekend in Suessical Jr at the WR High School. A standing room only audience was on hand for the 10th Season of the WRCC Players in this year’s presentation of Suessical Jr.
Director Bill Jacob, aka Mr J, directed 85 children from the Parkway area ranging in ages from 4 to 16 years old in what many are calling the best show in the 10 years of the community theatre. The show is a musical based on the Dr Suess book, Horton Hears a Who. Casting began in February with rehearsals going from March to May and everyone did their part.
Some of the highlights of the show were the performances of Hannah Woodsum (The Cat) as the stories narrator and comedian. Conor Freeley played a great Horton, and WRCC Players new comer Jack Fitzgerald nailed it as JoJo, the young boy who saves the Who’s. Great vocal performances were put on by Kelly Tice (Mayzie), Barbara Kirby (Sour Kangaroo) and Joanna McDonough (Gertrude). Read more

Do you find yourself wishing you could walk into Buck Mulligan’s and see your old crowd sitting at the bar? How about running to Costello’s at 1:00 before they stopped letting people in to join your friends? Well so did Tricia Brooks and Robby and Matty Shea. So they decided to organize a good old fashioned Pub Night this Friday night at the Emerald society in Rozzie Square.
Tickets are $15 and you get long sleeve T-Shirt with that. One of the old Costello’s DJ’s is coming out of retirement to entertain the crowd too.
Wait until you see the shirt. It’s probably not appropriate for this site!
