Spring at Sassafras
Winner’s Circle
I’m trying to rhyme the word “Vineyard;”
Thank goodness it isn’t a sin word.
Unlike that Nantucket
Where oaths fill a bucket,
We keep our frustrations all inward.

A man with no key to Quansoo
His paltry investments did rue
With portfolio tanked
That bright shining bank
Could only be reached by canoe.

The product of a global collaboration will be on display at the Virginia Weston Besse Gallery at Featherstone this Sunday, March 28. One Day in the Life is a documentary photography and writing exhibit that involves students from more than thirty countries around the world, including several at the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School.
At this year’s Massachusetts High School Drama Guild Festival the students in Kate Murray’s Theatre II class presented a new work, the brainchild of a creative collaboration between teacher and students. And this weekend, they are bringing it home, with several productions for the Vineyard audiences slated at the high school’s performing arts center.
Double Visions
A two-person art exhibition, featuring the work of Wendy Weldon and James Langlois, is at the Chilmark Public Library from March 31 to April 29. An opening reception will be held at the library from 3 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, April 3. Ms. Weldon’s half of the show demonstrates the progression within her process, from informal sketches and studies on paper to large-scale acrylic paintings. Her work presents an unusual energy, fueled by her thoughtful use of color.
