To One of the Greats
Today my hometown lost a great lady; so I’d like to tell you more about my choir teacher Beth Jamison – or, as her students lovingly referred to her, Miss J. I remember the first time I ever sang at a funeral. It was Sarah MacLaughlin’s “I Will Remember You”. It was with a group…
Exchange Club and Arts Quincy Magazine
Here at QCT, I’m working on getting everything ready for the new session of spring classes that start this week.

The…

The Witches – What I Learned
Hard to believe it’s been a whole week since performances of The Witches at Quincy Community Theatre. I am so proud of the cast, crew, and volunteers who made this challenging show happen. The Witches is a world full of puppets, magic, and special effects – and I’m so grateful for the wonderful team who…
Summer Wrap-up
Here in Quincy, school starts next week. I can’t believe it’s that time of year already. That also means that at QCT, we’ve reached the end of our summer programming. Last week was our Triple Threat Boot Camp —- the biggest education project of the year. At Boot Camp, students put in an intense week…
Elephant and Piggie – What I Learned
Yesterday at QCT, we closed our sold out run of Elephant and Piggie’s “We Are in a Play!” I had a wonderful time working on this charming, energetic piece by Mo Willems and Deborah Wicks La Puma. If you missed it, I just uploaded some production photos to the Photos slideshow and the flickr stream….

They’ll be on the road through June 12th, you can view…
