Windsor Youth Theatre Presents: Once On This Island

Come out and support the Windsor Youth Theatre.

Prepare to be transported back to a remote Caribbean island during a stormy night to witness how a group of peasants survive the storm and tell their tales of class distinction and racial prejudice.

The starting Friday, May 11 wit performances running through Sunday, May 13. Each show begins at 7:30 p.m. at the LP Wilson Community Center, 599 Matianuck Ave.

Students from 11- to 18-years-old have been perfecting their storytelling through music, song and dance since January. The troupe hopes to show that the musical explores universal issues – love, anger, forgiveness, faith, maturity and death.

The cost is $12 for adults and $10 for students and seniors. Tickets can be purchased at the door. For details, call (860) 508-9449.

L.P. Wilson Community Center houses various town offices, including the Recreational and Leisure Services office and the Senior Services Center. Additionally, the center provides the public with an array of facilities to use and activities to engage in. The center's gymnasium offers gym time for students and adult basketball. There is also a dance studio, a ceramics studio, senior fitness center and green room and the Youth Services Bureau.

@Michele, you are correct. The TC can only provide the BoE an amount of money, it can not in anywayRead More tell the BoE what to do with that money. It could make suggestions, however they carry the same weight as any citizen making any suggestion to the BoE. State law has created the BoE as an island unto itself. They do not even think they are subject to the Town Ethics Code. The voters do have the power to change what they do not like in November. The question is will they again repeat the prior behavior and vote in those that will not make change. Remember Einstein's definition of insanity. It applies here.

My understanding is that TC can't tell the BoE what to do. However, taxpayers can and should startRead More asking questions! In the past, I believe the majority of taxpayers (myself included) operated on the assumption that once elected, our local govt. officials will take reasonable care to do their jobs correctly and effectively, even if they have had some differences of opinion. However, that was THEN, this is NOW. NOW it appears our taxpayers are waking up to the fact (myself included) that the standards of what was expected, no longer apply. If you're not happy with how your local govt officials are behaving or spending YOUR MONEY ask questions, get involved, SPEAK OUT, and tell them as much so that come NOVEMBER when you decide to vote them out they'll know why.

The Town Council must demand that this grossly unpopular, carefully hidden from view of other BoERead More members, ( when being signed), the town voters and potentially illegal Contract be Cancelled before June 4th, the next Budget Referendum.

They did a good job of investigation along with Ms. Fissel. in the article: Some investigationRead More yields more questions. I ask some questions about the timing of this whole situation. It is now become an embarrassment to Windsor, Loyola, and Dr. James. The idea of this research/study is important, however this execution is fraught with problems and serious concerns. http://windsor.patch.com/groups/r-elevelds-blog/p/some-investigation-yields-more-questions

What they don't get is that the Dollar Tree and Poquonock development are not isolated issues.Read More They directly relate to the overall frustration of voters. Residents have repeatedly been told that development will produce "benefits" for them and the town and help keep taxes low. Meanwhile, those "benefits" always seem to go to an ever hungry, yet still failing, education beaurocracy while the center of town and other neighborhoods languish with no improvements and taxes still go up.

What Mayor Trinks and Minority Leader Jepson refuse to acknowledge is that people (ALL people) areRead More tired. Most Windsor residents whether they are on the right or the left want cost effective responsible government. We want our elected officials to remember that they ARE accountable to the people. It is OUR money hence OUR priorities should set the agenda. No more horse trails or sidewalks to nowhere. This November let’s send a clear message to the Town Council – step aside boys a new team is taking over.

Malvi Lennon May 14, 2013 at 10:12 am
Michaela you would be a great asset on the BOE. Have you considered running in November? If you doRead More not want to run as an R or a D you can run as an independent. I would def vote for you and I know that Bob would do so too.
From left to right are Windsor High School students Allison Craig, Fatima Chadhury, Carly Sirota, Caitlin McDonald, Molly Curry, Tiffany Brown and Melissa Orzechowski.

Way to go ladies! So many students at Windsor High School are doing really good things. Let's keepRead More hearing about them here on Patch.

There is still time to Vote NO!!! STOP the Tax Increase that will pay the Chicago Shyster $327,966Read More which contains $60k in Travel Expenses - why should our taxes go up so that a personal friend of a school board member can get richer while our students get No Benefit
Malvi Lennon May 14, 2013 at 10:19 am
It is important that we show up and vote NO for the budget. However it is just as important thatRead More this coming Nov we elect NEW PEOPLE to the council and the BOE. For that to happen WE MUST HAVE PEOPLE WILLING TO RUN! Voting No on a budget yet allowing re-election of the same group because there is no one new willing to step up to the plate is a waste of time, energy, and resources.
