Shakespeare's 'Midsummer Night's Dream' returns to Firehouse
Emma Carlton as “Cobweb,” Damon Jespersen as “Puck” and Grace Montgomery as “Peaseblossom” will perform in Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” The actors use a more contemporary version of Shakespeare’s play to make it easier for younger members of the audience to follow.
It's been 18 years since Newburyport's Anna Smulowitz last directed "A Midsummer Night's Dream" for the community, and it's been long enough. She's ready once again to bring Shakespeare's comedy to life.

Salisbury chef earns accolades
It's lunchtime at Newburyport's Atria Merrimack Place, and Bill Pied is a busy guy.
Sure, that's the case most every day. After all, Pied is a chef for the 80-bed assisted-living community. But on this recent afternoon, Pied wasn't in the kitchen. He was making his way through the dining room and stopping at each table to chat with the residents. Addressing each by name, Pied easily engaged in conversation.
