Posted onJuly 22, 2024|Comments Off on Medfield Gazebo Players next weekend at Bellforge – 5PM Sat. & Sun.
I saw the Medfield Gazebo Players’ performance of Two Gentlemen of Verona last night next to the Lee Chapel as the sun set. I loved the Shakespeare with 50’s Doo Wop music and actors in poodle skirts and doing 50’s dance numbers. Medfield’s Small family crushed it, playing almost half the roles and Steve directing. Cynthia Small played the Duke and even had her own song – the “”Duke of Earl” played for each entrance.
I highly recommend that people share the fun and attend next weekend, 5PM on both Saturday and Sunday. This is quality local theatre, outside as the day ends – delightful! Bring your own snacks or dinner. The couple next to me really knew how to live – they brought drinks, dinner, chairs, and a small table – sweet.

I started this blog to share the interesting and useful information that I saw while doing my job as a Medfield select board member. I thought that my fellow Medfield residents would also find that information interesting and useful as well. This blog is my effort to assist in creating a system to push the information out from the Town House to residents. Let me know if you have any thoughts on how it can be done better.
