🎃 Spooky Season Arrives
It’s hard to believe it’s already time for Halloween decorations. St. Marys certainly knows how to celebrate the spookiest month of the year—from the Scarecrow Stroll to all the other fantastic October festivities.
🦐 This Weekend: St. Marys Seafood Festival
The long-awaited Seafood Festival is finally here, with events happening all day Saturday. Be sure to stop by the MOAA (Military Officers Association of America) booth, where John, James, and I will be selling raffle tickets to support local veteran and student programs—like the rifle team and JNROTC leadership training.
We’d love to see you in Historic Downtown St. Marys—come say hello and enjoy the vendors, music, and fresh coastal seafood!

A rich ensemble – lords, ladies, murderers, soldiers, messengers, and more—every role contributes to the suspense and action.
With intense battles, chilling supernatural encounters, and some of Shakespeare’s most famous speeches, Macbeth is an actor’s dream: bold, emotional, and unforgettable.
Come audition and be part of a story filled with prophecy, betrayal, madness, and the ultimate fight between good and evil.
Macbeth is famously known as “The Scottish Play” because of the superstition that speaking its name in a theater brings bad luck. Legends say Shakespeare used real spells, cursing the show with onstage accidents and disasters. To this day, actors still perform little rituals if someone slips up and says the title aloud.
Dare to audition for the play with a reputation as thrilling as the story
itself? Full character breakdown attached.
