The Tanglewood Actors Guild (TAG) certainly appreciated the story about "Nunsense" by Joe Seelig in Highlands Today. The following did stellar work on "Nunsense:" director Joe Morano, musical director Ruth Ann Esseltine and choreographer Margaret Updike.

Holmes and Heartland National Bank. ...more

He plays the villain as one of six actors in the Tanglewood Actors' Guild who will perform in the one act Anita Bell play on Dec. 5, 6 and 7 at the multi-purpose room at the 1,250-home development.
