Theater Workshop Turns 20 Waterfront West Public Hearing Thursday 

By Stewart Lytle, Reporter

REGIONAL – The first show Theater 

Workshop produced was Charles Schultz’s 

classic, It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie 

Brown. Twelve students participated in that 

first production. 

That was 20 years ago. Theater Workshop 

shows, written and directed by Stacey April 

Fix, now attract as many as 90 students for 

performances in the auditorium at Newbury 

Elementary School. 

On Sept. 10, Fix will begin rehearsals 

again for Theater Workshop’s Holiday show 

in December. 

“I feel we are serving a determined 

purpose,” she said in an interview. “I am 

not willing to stop.” 

Her students, who come from schools 

throughout the North Shore, have gone on 

to colleges and careers, including some who 

have found a place in the world of theater. 

One student from the first production, 

whom Fix has stayed in touch with, was 

John Kessler, who played Linus before going 

on to become an astronaut.

The Theater Workshop and Enrichment 

Program was created when the school 

was enlarged to house additional spaces, 

including an auditorium, complete with 

a stage and sound booth. Fix, who had 

left Off Broadway productions to direct 

children’s theater, asked what the school’s 

plans were for the auditorium. The school 

agreed to allow her to offer theater as one of 

several enrichment programs. 

In coming years, while other programs 

shrunk in numbers of students, “We grew,” 

she said. 

One reason the theater program thrived 

was its parental involvement. Some parents 

come back year after year, long after their 

children were no longer involved. 

“I’m grateful to everyone who has helped 

me. Theater is not something you do alone,” 

Fix said. “They make me want to do my 

best.” 

Theater Workshop produces two shows 

a year. For each show Fix draws on her

– Should five-story 

buildings be allowed on 

the waterfront? 

That was the question 

city officials debated last 

week in the on-going 

approval process for the 

plans by New England 

Development (NED) to 

build Waterfront West, 

a mixed-use project 

between Michael’s 

Harborside and the old 

Black Cow restaurants. 

The public can join the 

The site of the proposed Waterfront West project from 

the Rte. 1 bridge 

debate about the Waterfront West project this week. A public hearing is scheduled for 7 

p.m., Sept. 6th in the City Hall auditorium. 

Members of the city’s planning board and the City Council’s Planning and Development 

Committee met informally last week to review NED’s most recent plans for the project. In 

general, the group scored the project high on issues like design of public spaces, pedestrian 

access to the river, the placement of retail and commercial stores and the project’s impact 

on the boating community. 

Their concerns focused primarily on the proposed height and density of the residential 

buildings, which would house up to 230 apartments. 

“The buildings are just too dense,” said Planning Board vice chair Leah McGavern. 

“There must be a compelling reason” for five-story buildings. The key consideration, she 

said, was that each building must have “architectural and massing variety.” 

Planning Board member Anne Gardner, who voiced the strongest objection to the 

proposed taller buildings, said, “The bulk of all these units is in the five-story buildings.” 

City Council member Jared Eigerman said he was not opposed to allowing five-story 

buildings, if they are designed with interesting roof lines. He said it looks like the buildings’ 

roofs will just be long horizontal lines, which would be detrimental to the city’s skyline. 

“Are these buildings going to block the views of the (church) steeples?” Eigerman asked. 

McGavern said the five story buildings could be 55 to 60 feet tall

Listening to Our Neighbors 

Community Announcements 

According to the National Institute for Civil Discourse, “78% 

of Americans think Community incivility and political Connections 

dysfunction prevent our 

nation from moving forward.” 

Throughout my campaign, I’ve discovered that people in our 

district—all along the Business ideological spectrum—are Spotlight dismayed by the 

degenerating political climate and hunger for productive conversation 

about the issues that matter to all of us. 

For 

Real Estate • 

Sale 

I recently met a man whose neighbor jump-started For our conversation Sale 

by calling through his truck’s open window, “Don’t even bother 

talking to him! He’d shoot Bambi if 

Sports • he could!” 

Fascinated, I asked him: would you 

Sports 

really shoot Bambi • Sports 

if you could? 

(Yes, he responded. He would.) 

But our conversation didn’t end there; instead, we spent 25 minutes 

Pets, Animals, Plus 

discussing everything from gun regulation to immigration to taxes 

and bullying. Before leaving, I asked, “Do you feel this conversation 

was valuable or a waste Health of time?” & His Fitness 

answer was immediate and 

heartfelt: “Yes, it was incredibly valuable. Conversations like these are 

the only way things will improve.” 

In these difficult times, I think it’s more important than ever that 

we actively listen to each other with interest, curiosity, concern, and 

compassion even (and especially!) when we disagree. Labels are alltoo-accessible 

when we sit passively on the receiving end of media 

coverage. But when we approach another person without prejudgment, 

we are both freed from the crushing burden of assumptions and frontloaded 

hostility. 

This is a central focus of my campaign and of my daily life because 

it starts with each of us.

creativity and decades in theater. 

Last month, when interviewed 

for this article, she said she had 

no idea what this fall’s show 

would be. She has to wait to meet 

the students, assess their talent 

levels and then write a script that 

showcases each student. 

Students do not audition. She 

asks only that they and their 

parents agree to a commitment to 

rehearse for about 100 hours from 

September to December. There 

are fees, but they amount to about 

$4 per hour, she said. 

Parents are also asked to give 

five hours to help the production 

back stage, making costumes, 

selling tickets and merchandise or 

hanging posters in stores around 

town. “We want to be a topic of 

conversation at family dinners,” 

she said. 

Fix calls her productions 

“shows.” Theater Workshop’s 

shows are very colorful, lively 

and have tremendous music 

and dancing. They are not plays 

because there is music, she said. 

They are not musicals because 

there is no singing. 

The rehearsals and performances 

are structured fun. She said the 

youngsters often comment, “I 

didn’t know acting was so much 

work.” But many of her alumni 

have told her they chose to write 

about the skills they learned in 

Theater Workshop as the topic for 


including five feet allowed for 

protection from flooding. She said 

that could mean the residential 

units would be 11 in height. 

“Maybe (NED) could lower the 

ceilings,” she said. 

The board and council committee 

asked NED to produce computergenerated 

views of the proposed 

project from several vantage 

points, primarily from across the 

Merrimack River at The Deck 

restaurant in Salisbury and from a 

driver’s point of view crossing the 

Rte. 1 Bridge. 

Council member Heather Shand 

requested a computer-generated 

view of the proposed buildings 

from the Clipper Heritage Rail 

Trail. 

“Why did they (NED) go to 

230 units?” McGavern asked. The 

original proposal, she said, was for 

140 units. With fewer units, the 

five-story buildings could become 

four-story and even three-story 

buildings. 

Council President Barry Connell 

said he assumes NED increased the 

number of units to accommodate 

the number of affordable units 

Theater Workshop Turns 20 

their college application essay. 

“The student may never be a 

championship athlete, but they 

will be able to speak in public,” 

she said. “They learn confidence 

and how to communicate. They 

learn to work together. The skills 

they learn at theater will carry 

them through the rest of their 

lives.” 

She noted that “All the coping 

skills needed to deal with anxiety 

are taught in theater.” 

Fix got hooked on theater in the 

first grade. She was in a play in 

her Pennsylvania hometown and 

learned to “love the audience.” 

She earned her bachelor of fine 

arts degree at Stephens College 

in Columbia, MO. A professor 

encouraged her to become a 

director, although there were 

few female directors in theater 

or movies. Her senior year she 

produced 11 one-act plays in nine 

weeks, working with top female 

actresses Julie Harris, Carrie Nye, 

Joyce Sullivan and Dawn Wells. 

After graduation, she made her 

way to Off Broadway theaters in 

New York City. But after a decade 

discovered one summer the joy of 

children’s theater in Maine, which 

was near her future husband. 

“I loved it. It is amazing to watch 

the children grow,” she said. 

Theater Workshop, a part of 

Workshop Arts, Inc., is a notfor-profit 

organization and not 

part of the school. It raises money 

to help students whose families 

cannot pay the fees. And it raises 

money for college scholarships 

from selling front row seats for 

slightly more than the cost of 

regular seats.

Waterfront West Public Hearing Thursday 

that state law requires for housing 

projects like this. Eigerman said 

he assumed that NED would 

negotiate with the city on the 

number of units. 

Gardner said she was also 

concerned that the city could 

be setting a precedent for taller 

buildings in the city. “Are we going 

to have other developers saying 

‘you allowed five-story buildings in 

Waterfront West?’” she said. 

The group asked Planning 

Director Andy Port to request NED 

to provide more data, particularly 

regarding the number of parking 

spaces the project will need. It 

asked for the developer’s vision on 

who would be living in the units 

and how many one, two and threebedroom 

units would be built. 

Eigerman said that data was 

necessary to reach a conclusion on 

how many parking spaces would be 

permitted on the site. The current 

proposal is that there will be 1.2 

parking spaces for every unit, plus 

parking for boaters, hotel guests 

and retail customers. 

Andrew Shapiro, secretary of the 

planning board, urged the group 

to reduce the number of parking

spaces to make the project more 

urban rather than “the typical 

suburban development you see 

along I-495.” 

The city was pleased that the 

NED proposal again provides for 

a 100-room boutique hotel. The 

members of the group said building 

the hotel was very important to the 

city. 

According to the latest design, 

the hotel would be perpendicular 

to the waterfront and would 

include a three-level glass bridge 

between sections of the hotel that 

would allow pedestrians a walkway 

along the waterfront. 

Eigerman and Port said they 

understood NED plans to manage 

the hotel itself, rather than leasing 

it to a different hotel operator. 

The plans also call for 10,000 

square feet of commercial/retail 

space. McGavern said she was 

pleased with the plans’ layout for 

retail. 

McGavern also praised NED’s 

plans for making the walkways 

from Merrimac Street to the river. 

The city’s criteria for the pathways 

and the riverwalk must “ensure a 

vibrant public experience.”

unique charm there is so much to 

love about an antique home, from 

its quirky features to its unique 

charm. If you are thinking of 

purchasing one, there’s also lots 

to consider. As anyone who’s 

watched any of the real estate 

restoration shows can tell you, 

owning a historic home often 

comes with its own set of rewards 

and challenges. Let’s take a quick 

look at the pros and cons of 

buying a historic home. 

Pros 

• Beauty: Upon entering a 

first period home you are sent 

back in time. From the huge 

fireplaces, antique fixtures, 

hand milled boards, builtins 

and paneling there are so 

many things to like about an 

antique home. Chances are 

you will find period details 

well after you move in. 

• History: There are lots of 

physical characteristics in 

a historic home but what 

about the previous owners? 

If you are a history buff you 

will want to find out more 

about past owners as they 

all had their own sometimes 

fascinating history. 

• Preservation: By purchasing 

a historic home you are 

helping to keep history alive, 

and by keeping it up you 

preserve this history while at 

the same time breathe new 

life into it. 

• Style: If the center entrance 

colonial or cape isn’t your cup 

of tea you may enjoy living 

in a home with all sorts of 

unique features inside and 

out. This area is rich with 

first period homes as well 

as others that come in all 

different architectural styles; 

Federal, Georgian, Colonial 

and Victorian just to name a 

few. 

• Location: Most towns in our 

area have a historic district 

where it is required that

Buying a Historic Home 

Sports • Sports • Sports

homes stay looking a certain 

way. If that is the case with 

the antique home you are 

looking to buy you know that 

the neighbor won’t be able to 

paint their home pink or add 

an addition that looks out of 

place. 

Cons 

• Prepare to Work: If you’re 

buying a historic home, you 

better be ready to do some 

work. Even the homes that 

are restored completely are 

going to need upkeep as you 

are talking about something 

that is possibly 200+ years 

old. Homes that haven’t been 

properly preserved will most 

certainly fall into disrepair. 

If you decide to purchase 

a historic home make sure 

you have the money tucked 

away for unforeseen projects 

like a crumbling chimney or 

restoration of a fireplace just 

to name a few. 

• Follow the Rules: I 

mentioned it above as a 

“pro” but if your home is in 

a historic district it can act as 

a “con” as well. You may not 

be able to change or add on 

without the historic board’s 

review and approval. If you 

are a true lover of historic 

homes the changes you will 

want to make fit the period 

of the home but it is another 

layer of red tape. Most owners 

of antique homes put the fact 

the home is in the historic 

district squarely in the “pro” 

column but it is something to 

keep in mind. 

• Insurance: Simply put your 

rate may be higher. If the 

home has been renovated you 

shouldn’t see a big difference 

from a similar, newer home 

but if you are doing a full 

restoration you may see your 

insurance rates rise. 

• Surprise: Have an 

inspection done prior to 

your purchase, preferably by 

an inspector who specializes 

or has extensive experience 

with older homes. You want

to avoid anything you can’t 

see that could be a problem 

down the line (asbestos, knob 

and tube wiring, etc.). 

Should you buy a historic 

home? 

Take a look at the pros and cons 

mentioned above. Are you willing 

to work, ok with unexpected 

repairs, and the rules that can 

come with a historic home? If you 

are willing to put the time in most 

antique home owners will tell you 

that it is well-worth the extra time 

and effort required. Lastly when 

house hunting, make sure to ask 

your REALTOR® whether or not 

you’re looking in a historic district. 

Happy house hunting!

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A little “wool-gathering” for 

the usually productive Lamb is all right if it helps you unwind. 

But be careful; too much daydreaming can put you behind 

schedule in your work. 

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A work problem is close to 

being resolved. Now you can go ahead and celebrate the week, 

accepting invitations from friends who enjoy your company. 

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Getting your new plan accepted 

won’t be a major hassle if you have the facts to back it up. Your 

supporters are also prepared to help you make your case. Good 

luck. 

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Dealing with a pesky job problem might be time-consuming but necessary. 

The sooner you get this situation settled, the sooner you can move on 

to other matters. 

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Career advancement is favored thanks 

to your impressive work record. On the personal side, you should soon 

hear some good news about an ailing family member. 

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) There might be mixed signals 

from a certain someone who doesn’t seem all that certain about their 

intentions. Best to sort it all out before it becomes more confusing. 

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Get all the facts about that 

investment “opportunity” before you put even one dollar into it. There 

could be hidden problems that could prove to be costly. 

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Compromising on a matter 

you feel strongly about not only ends the impasse, but can be a winwin 

deal for all. Remember: Scorpios do well with change. 

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) With all the 

demands you currently have to deal with, accepting the help of family 

and friends could be the wisest course to take at this time. 

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Recent upsetting 

incidents might have left you with a big gap in your self-assurance. 

Refi ll it by spending time with those who know how worthy you really 

are. 

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A dispute about money 

needs to be resolved quickly, before it festers into something more 

serious. Consider asking an impartial colleague to mediate the 

matter. 

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A soft approach could be more 

effective than making a loud demand for the information you need. 

You might even find yourself with more data than you expected. 

BORN THIS WEEK: You’re sought out for the wonderful advice you’re 

able to offer to others. And sometimes you even take it yourself.

Health & Wellness 

By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD 

Despite the generalized 

notion that people should visit 

a dentist bi-annually, I am more 

a proponent of individualized 

frequency recommendations 

based on a few factors. We are 

not all the same; therefore, each 

of us has our own specific needs. 

Results from a recent Gallup- 

Healthways poll of 355,334 

Americans indicate that more 

than one-third of the population, 

34% to be exact, did not visit 

a dentist last year at all. Over 

50% of the population said they 

visited the dentist one time or less 

last year. 

In a study reported in The 

New York Times and other major 

media, a report by the Journal of 

Dental Research indicates “little 

evidence supports biannual 

preventive care for all adults.” 

Similarly, the headline from 

HealthDay News read, “Annual 

Dental Cleaning May be Enough 

for Some.” 

The researchers explored the 

association between long-term 

tooth loss and the frequency of 

preventive dental visits in adults 

with and without three risk factors 

for periodontal disease: smoking, 

diabetes and interleukin-1 genetic 

variations (regulates immune 

and inflammatory responses). 

Subjects were deemed low risk if 

they had none of these factors. 

The data showed that as a group 

the high-risk patients who had 

two preventive dental visits lost 

significantly fewer teeth compared 

to the high-risk group that had 

only one preventive dental visit 

per year. By contrast, there was 

no difference in tooth loss for the 

groups at low-risk based on one 

versus two preventive visits per 

year. The researchers concluded 

that individual risk factors 

should dictate the frequency of 

cleanings. 

The American Dental 

Association recommends 

regular dental visits at an 

interval determined by the 

patient’s dentist. The patient’s 

dentist makes an individualized 

Brighter Smiles... 

How Often Should You Go? 

recommendation based on the 

patient’s health history and 

current oral health status. 

Here are some points that 

may help you understand the 

study and the importance of 

personalized care: 

• The key takeaway from this 

study is that personalized 

oral care—taking into 

account your oral and 

overall health history—is 

necessary for good dental 

health. 

• The study only looked at 

tooth extraction and its 

association with risk factors 

for gum disease; however, 

other health conditions 

can contribute to poor 

oral health. That’s why 

personalized dental care 

is critical to good patient 

care. 

• Personalized 

• 

treatment 

plans should be the priority. 

Recommendations for future 

dental appointments should 

be based on what is seen 

during your examination, 

your health history, and 

any concerns you may have 

about your oral health.

Association’s website at

has a lot of information on 

how to take care of your 

oral health between dental 

visits. 

While there is clearly a segment 

of the population who can “get 

away” with visiting a dentist 

once a year to maintain a healthy 

mouth, this group is relatively 

small. 75% of the population has 

some form of gum disease. Within 

that group, there are those who 

should see a dentist/hygienist 

twice per year, some three times 

and others four times or more to 

maintain proper health. 

It is up to you and your dentist 

to have an open conversation 

about how often you should go. If 

it has been a while, getting there 

the first time is step number one.
