Cambridge offers free play
CAMBRIDGE College Square Park will be the site of the summer theatre performance of Craig Sodaro’s Tom ‘N’ Huck, which will start at 7:30 p.m. On Tuesday, Aug. 3.
The cast is a conglomerate of students from Cambridge and Geneseo Schools and members of the community of Cambridge. The performance is free to the public and will feature a pie/cake raffle to raise funds for future performances.
The play is the first performance of a summer community theatre program, thanks to the support of the summer AIM Program through the Henry Stark Bureau Regional Office of Education. The AIM Program has been a part of Cambridge Schools for over five years, but this is the first public play.

“They’ve met, they had conversations, there was a caucus meeting, and they are moving forward,” said Doug Kufner, a spokesperson for Sexton.
Griffey has not always had an easy time
pushing his legislation during his two terms in the overwhelmingly Republican state legislature, despite an intense focus on bills that restrict or punish refugees and immigrants especially undocumented ones that frequently jives with beliefs held by many in the supermajority Republican caucus.
