A New Twist On âRed Riding Hoodâ

FAIRFIELD â Children are invited to join Red Riding Hood and three of her girlfriends on a forest adventure when Fairfield Universityâs Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts presents a new twist to a classic fairy tale. Red Riding Hood, a Missoula Childrenâs Theatre (MCT) production, will be presented Fridays, July 26, August 2 and August 16, at 7:30 pm.

The adaptation by MCT founder James Caron features a cast of familiar childhood characters, from the innocent Red Riding Hood and The Boy Who Cried Wolf to The Three Little Pigs. Also featured are Little Loveable Wolf, The Woodsman, The Locksmith, The Wolfgang, Forest Shadows and Rascally Raccoons.

Most of the characters are played by area young people in grades 1-12 who are enrolled in the Quick Centerâs Childrenâs Theatre Camp. The camp, now in its 13th season, offers weekly sessions that each conclude in a Friday evening production.

Tickets are $8 for adults and $6 for children. Discounted group rates and subscriptions are available. For tickets call 203-254-4010 or toll free 1-877-ARTS-396 or visit www.QuickCenter.com. The Quick Center is on Fairfield Universityâs campus, on North Benson Road.

Why Gun Violence Is Higher In The US

I want to clarify something that was not clear in my letter. Newtown DOES have an affordable housing plan, put together with the aid of the Council of Governments (COG) in 2022 and approved by the LC that year. The strategies in that plan are to "encourage", "support", "explore", "promote" various aspects of state and local affordable housing programs. Those strategies are largely repeated in the Housing Chapter of the Plan of Conservation and Development being finalized now. Newtown needs to measure its performance against those strategies and refine them to reflect the current situation and evaluate whether we are eligible for a moratorium on 8-30(g) projects if we have met the criteria. It's a question of being more specific and more rigorous in what we as a community would like to see to address this real and serious need, rather than to be on our heels when a developer proposes a project on their terms. An independent look outside the application process would be best for that. Thank you. Peter.

Discusses Affordable Housing

I on Glover Ave. walk my two Labs every morning and evening. Drivers are constantly cutting me off at the shopping center entrance and other driveways. There is no understanding of pedestrians rights. Drives make left turns onto Queen when its forbidden. Most cars cruse right thru the crosswalks without stopping for pedestrians. The Police have not issued one citation nor even a warming for crosswalk violations. The situation is out of control and now a loved resident, Pete, and a pet, Coby have been killed. Time for a plan. The problem is not Intersections, nor traffic, the problem 98s drivers and lack of enforcement. The plan need to create a culture that drivers obey speed limits and honor pedestrians right of ways. Isn't that the job of the Police Department and The Police Commission, to protect Newtowns citizens. This is a call to action.

Its already too late, the Nimby mob have scared developers so that their only option is to use the state wide 8-30 exemption to get around the local zoning board. Thanks Nimby mob.
