Rituals at holiday times enrich all our lives, and Suffield has lots of them. None are more joyful than the Christmas Concert at the Second Baptist Church, which is scheduled for Saturday, December 14, at 3:00 p.m. (snow date December 15). The concert in its present form began life 16 years ago, when Evelyne Battle arrived as the church’s Minister of Music. Following an unusual, if not unique, career path, Evelyne had worked in international banking with a position as head of a loan department in what she terms a “boutique bank,” one that funded projects in sub-Saharan Africa. She left the banking industry in 2004.
We are delighted to welcome Audrey Willis, M.S.W. as our new Outreach Social Worker. Audrey was most recently employed as a medical social worker.
The machinery of adolescence is a topic that has been featured in thousands of forms of media for thousands of years, reflected on television screens, canvases, and frail rolls of paper. It is a theme with incredible longevity, but one that constantly requires new perspectives and techniques to maintain its relevance. This is a demanding standard, yet it is matched and exceeded by Suffield High School Drama Club’s production of the original musical BFF. With book and lyrics by SHS’s resident film and French teacher, Carl Casinghino, and music by his uncle, Robert Casinghino, the musical is an ambitious work that conveys the complex tangle of relationships that binds an average high school community both in the physical world and the amorphous digital realm. These two spheres are so integrated that the plot’s driving conflict emerges and escalates in the initial acts without many of the characters ever meeting in person, instead building animosity allegiances through text messages, which will be displayed to the audience through a projector.
