The season will open on Thursday, May 27, with Dave Andrews headlining a dinner and show evening at The Coonamessett Inn.
âWe need comedy. Laughter is one thing that brings people together,â Flapjack! founder Preston Simpson said in a 2015 interview at the launch of the business.

He joined Digital Equipment Corporation in 1972 and held various management positions over the course of 30 years. After his retirement as the vice president of global services operations of Compaq Computer Corporation in 2002, Mr. Kelley continued to work; he held vice president positions at Spectralink and Tandberg and, at the time of his death, was vice president of operations for Critical Alert.
While the town continues to discuss whether to provide fire and rescue services from five or six stations, it wants to hire more firefighters to keep the current stations open and operational, even after the Sandwich Road station is built.
Falmouth Select Board, at its meeting on Monday, May 10, directed Town Manager Julian M. Suso to develop a staffing model and bring it back to the board that would keep all stations open, including the West Falmouth location. Since last July, the station has only been staffed when firefighters volunteer for overtime to man it.
âI suggest starting now to build that financial package to hire more to keep West Falmouth open even after the new Sandwich Road station is open,â select board member Douglas H. Jones said.
