At a recent gathering in Lyme, Kevin C. “K.C.” Mazer was honored for his 36 years of dedicated service to the Town of Lyme Planning and Zoning Commission.  In addition to serving on that commission, K.C. contributed his time and talent to the following organizations:  The Lyme Affordable Housing Committee since 1996, the Connecticut River Gateway Commission since 1975, and the Republican Town Committee since 1981.

Mazer also donated his services by grading and preparing the area for the Lyme School Playscape in 1982, and contributing contracting goods and services toward the expansion of the Lyme Library in 1985.

He was awarded the “Field of Dreams” plaque in 1991 from the Lyme Park and Recreation Commission for resurfacing the Lyme School baseball field.  In addition, he donated services to High Hopes Therapeutic Riding Inc., Hartman Park, and Child and Family Services.  Mazer also served as a Trustee of Essex Savings Bank since 1999.

At the gathering, Lyme First Selectman Ralph Eno presented Mazer with an Official Citation from the State of Connecticut General Assembly, made possible through the efforts of State Representative Marilyn Giuliano (R-23rd.)

The Town of Lyme is proud to recognize K.C. Mazer for his extraordinary record of public service.

almost_maine_med-580x444Spend a cozy, winter evening in Almost, Maine, as the Saybrook Stage Company brings to life John Cariani’s romantic play at the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, ‘The Kate,’ from Jan. 16 through Jan. 19.  You will find yourself immersed in the charming town of Almost on a clear winter’s night in northern Maine as the brilliant, ribbon-like northern lights dance in the sky.

The Saybrook Stage Company invites you to visit Almost, Maine – a mythical town in the northernmost section of the state – almost in Canada.  The residents of Almost, Maine, will tug at your heart strings as they fall in and out of love in some of the most interesting and hilarious ways.  Love is lost, found and confounded as couples go about their normal lives on this unique Friday evening in the middle of winter.

“Almost, Maine” was developed at the Cape Cod Theatre project in 2002 and premiered at the Portland Stage Company to box office records and critical acclaim.  It opened Off Broadway in 2006 at the Daryl Roth Theatre and was selected in Smith and Kraus’ New Playwrights: Best Play of 2006.  ‘Almost, Maine’ continues to exceed ticket sales projections in almost every professional theater in which it has played.

The Saybrook Stage Company returns once again to ‘The Kate’ in this uplifting, romantic comedy.  This will be their seventh production at ‘The Kate’ – previous plays are “Our Town”, “12 Angry Men”, “The Dining Room”, “You Can’t Take It With You”, “A Piece of My Heart” and, most recently this past July to a sell-out audience, “Enchanted April”.

Come join the Saybrook Stage Company as they bring the Northern Lights of northern Maine alive at ‘The Kate.’
