Hamlet Back on at NCRT
Posted By Kali Cozyris on Fri, Jul 30, 2021 at 8:00 AM
Live theater ... to see, or not to see? If you choose the former, get thee to the North Coast Repertory Theatre for its production of Hamlet, opening Saturday, July 31 at 8 p.m. and playing Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through Aug. 22 ($18, $16). In tragic Shakespearean fashion, the play was shut down due to the pandemic just as it was about to open in 2020. The cast and crew persevered and are back with flourish! Get tickets online in advance at www.ncrt.net or by calling 442-6278, as none will be sold at the theater. Proof of vaccination or recent negative COVID test is required at the door.

Posted By Mark Larson on Fri, Jul 16, 2021 at 3:30 PM
Lots of people showed up for Blue Lakes’s 53rd annual Annie and Mary Day on Sunday, reflecting their willingness to be out in a semi-post-vaccination world, as well as the draw of a small-town parade, a line up of vintage vehicles in the Bill Nessler Car Show and a music and crafts fair in Perigot Park. See the slideshow below for highlights.
According to the city website, “Every year since 1967, the Blue Lake Chamber has sponsored Annie and Mary Day. Annie and Mary Day is a celebration of the historic Arcata Mad River Rail Line, named after Annie Carroll and Mary Buckley, two bookkeepers who were employed by the railroad around the year 1907.”
