As oyster
lovers, when we heard about the Seaport Association Oyster
Festival presented by First County Bank in Norwalk,
Connecticut, we knew that it was an event we wanted to attend. What we did not
expect was the high-caliber of different entertainment for the 3-day festival, including
Mike DelGuidice and Big Shot, which took place from September 9 - 11, 2022 at the 35-acre Veteran's
Memorial Park.

We had the
pleasure of experiencing Los Otros, a new musical
premiering in New York City, presented by Premieres NYC and Mary J. Davis, starring Broadway
veterans Luba Mason and Caesar Samayoa, at A.R.T./New
York Theatres located at 502 West 53rd Street in Manhattan
on Friday, September 9, 2022. When you have a highly gifted cast, as well as a
well-written and compelling story, we expected Los Otros to be
sensational, and it was! The musical opened on August 25 and runs until October
8, 2022.
