Theatre Ink and South Stage proudly present

Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, one of the greatest comedies ever written.  A tale of lust, loss and confusion; whilst Lovers fall in and out of love, a pack of Fools rush round, mocking and subverting their passions, hopes and fears. With mistaken identity, cross-dressing and heartbreak, the play offers a beautiful yet painful exploration of everything love inspires.

American Youth Football and Cheerleading

A grade based program, American Youth Football, with the worlds largest youth football enrollment (23,000 teams in 50 states), is forming teams in Newton. Teams will be formed for kids entering Grades 3 through 8 in the fall.  Those entering 2nd grade are eligible to play on the 3rd grade team.

Registration is beginning now and teams will be determined by Mid-May.  Please sign up as soon as possible since space is limited.  Teams are formed based on first come first served – not ability or size based.  This is a developmental program – no try outs.  Everyone will learn a lot about football. Everyone will play.  Everyone will find a position that suits their strengths and will have the opportunity to stretch themselves in other positions.  Everyone will be part of a team, make friends and have a great time!

Practices may begin as early as Monday August 6th, and run M-Th in the evenings.  Coaches and parent assistants are welcome, too. Games are played every weekend beginning in September on Saturday or Sunday for 8-10 consecutive weeks.  The other teams in the league are from Needham. Wellesley, Weymouth, Framingham, Milton, Natick, Norwood and Walpole.

There are both Football and Cheerleading components to the league.  We are recruiting girls, boys and parents to be part of the fun. To register, please see the website at  www.newtonyouthfootball.com or for more information call or e-mail League secretary: Galen Boyer,  617-877-0787,  Galendboyer@gmail.com .
