Daily Five: Harvey! at MHS, Indians Make Semi-Finals and Holiday Parade!

1. Sun and clouds, high of 40 with snow showers late. 

2. If you don’t have plans tonight or Saturday night, or even if you do, please make it a point to see the the sweet, endearing, light and warm classic 1944 play by Mary Chase (which most may know as the famous film with Jimmy Stewart). These young thespians, under the direction of Susan Walsh, do the play much justice with their youthful zeal and great timing; the play is sweet and funny and they are a delight. I was thrilled to have been invited to the dress rehearsal Thursday afternoon and I can guarantee you, it will be the best night of theatre in Montville! So please, make it a point to see ‘Harvey,’ playing tonight at 7 p.m. at MHS and Saturday at 7. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for kids. 

3. The Town of Montville’s Fifteenth Annual Holiday Light Parade is this weekend and that too is a must-see.  Slated for Sunday, Dec. 2, 2012 at 5 p.m. the parade promises an evening of lights, music, festivities and fun. The parade begins at the Montville Funeral Home of Church and Allen on Route 32 and finishes at Town Hall. Spectators are asked to bring a non‐perishable food item to donate to the Montville Social Services Food Pantry. Volunteers will be marching in the parade collecting the donated food items. There will be many parade units decked out to get you in the spirit of the holidays. Montville High School’s Marching Band will be in the parade and the Choir to lead us all in a sing a long of holiday favorites following the parade. And last but not least the lighting of the Tree. If you are unable to attend the parade but can still donate non‐ perishable food items, you can drop them off to Montville Senior and Social Services, 12 Maple Ave.
