Remember When the Fox Run Mall in New Hampshire Had These 22 Stores?
It seems like malls are a dying industry these days, but that doesn't stop us from reminiscing about the good ol' glory days when they were the place to be.

In other words, I didn't miss it! Gluten-free options have come such a long way, and the gluten-free community doesn't have to feel left out of the fun. We love that for them!

NH Unscripted with Angèlica Forcier Rosenthal, Garrett Meyer, & Mackenzie Goodwin
Todays’ episode is part I of a two part series. Several members from the cast of Actors Cooperative Theatre’s productions of Cruel Intentions: The 90’s Musical stop by and give us a deep, deep dive into the show. Angèlica Forcier Rosenthal (Kathryn Merteuil), Garrett Meyer (Sebastian Valmont) and Mackenzie Goodwin (Cecile Caldwell) VERY delicately walk me through this insane show! ACT does some of the most creative, thought provoking material in the state. I’m not talking classics or Greek theatre or Moliere. I’m talking about crazy, sometimes gritty, sometimes just wild shows and this one ranks right up there. There is soooo much happening here on soooo many different levels that we had to break the discussion into two parts! The show goes up Aug. 2-11 at the MCTP Theatre at the North End Montessori School; 698 Beech St, Manchester and tickets can be bought at app.arts-people.com/index.php?show=191346.
