Read on for our recommendations for the next week.
- The Tony® award-winning musical Hairspray starts at Theatre By the Sea with preview showings July 20 and 21 and the Opening Night on Friday, July 22. Marylou Butler attended rehearsals and wrote interesting articles here and here.

Don't miss his arrival escorted by local volunteer fighters and their trucks. If you live or are visiting near Charlestown Beach Road you will hear the sirens of the parade of trucks. At least come out to give a wave! More information here.
