Wellfleet theater company finds the ways and means to start again
Susan Blood, Banner Correspondent
WELLFLEET After making the unavoidable decision to cancel their 2020 summer season of theater due to the COVID-19 threat, Harbor Stage Company went dark, and silent, for months.
“We did not pivot that quickly,” founding member Brenda Withers said. “It took us awhile to emotionally rebound from the realization that we weren t going to have a season.”
In November, founders Withers, Jonathan Fielding, Stacy Fisher and Robert Kropf emerged from that darkness with a Zoom reading of a new play that Withers had written, entitled “Dindin.”

Children who take part in the summer camps could attend the winter campus with their families to see friends from last summer and see what is being planned in 2021.
YOUNGSTOWN Children who have spent their summers attending the Jewish Community Center’s summer camps reminisced Sunday about the fun they had swimming and horseback riding while trying to stay warm in Sunday’s frigid temperatures when the high for the day was 24 degrees.
The holiday season is not complete without adding some bright shades of red and green around the house, which perhaps is why poinsettias are a popular plant during the holidays.
Poinsettias originate from Central America and are mostly grown in southern Texas where they bloom in the month of December.
âPoinsettia really do like moisture,â said Stacy Fisher, store and creative director at Garden Gate Flowers. âWe water our plants once a week with them being in a greenhouse, but with homes being drier right now they should be watered at least once a day.â
Repotting the plants also is a good idea.
