Community Poetry

On Sunday, Nov. 13, at 4 p.m. the West Tisbury Library will hosts its annual community poetry reading featuring community members reading their own poems and/or the poems of others. Everyone is invited to share their work, so no more hiding your light under a bushel.

As per tradition numbers will be drawn from a hat to determine the reading order.

The first steps to staring your own business are coming up with an idea and then deciding to take that leap of faith. But what happens next? In particular, how does one keep a business thriving and what sort of changes does a small business owner need to make after switching hats from entrepreneur to business manager?

Junior High Cinderella

Next Friday and Saturday evening, Nov. 18 and 19, the Tisbury school gym will transform itself into the magical world of Cinderella for the junior high school play. Twenty-three student actors have been rehearsing since the first week of school to prepare the show that’s a lot of glass slippers to try on. Four other students make up the stage crew, cue turning into a pumpkin. Barra Peak returns this year as a graduate assistant.

The show is a musical, think Julie Andrews reborn
