Together We Grow: 15 Years, 15 Towns, 15 Trees Poster Series
Together We Grow: 15 Years, 15 Towns, 15 Trees is a 15 year anniversary poster series and community service project created by local artist Randall Zmed of 3KOI Collective on display at the Cape Cod National Seashore's Salt Pond Visitor Center in Eastham.
The series was made in honor of the contributions and partnerships that have formed and flourished between AmeriCorps Cape Cod, Barnstable County and the 15 towns that comprise the Cape Cod community. The 15 posters are symbolic of 15 trees that were planted for Arbor Day 2014 as part of an AmeriCorps Cape Cod service event and signify 15 years of the program's history in this region. The significance of this project will be felt 15 years into the future by decreasing the community's carbon footprint by an estimated 10,800 lbs. These trees will sequester more than 5 tons of Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere helping Barnstable County in its efforts to become a more sustainable community.
Salt Pond Visitor Center is located at 50 Nauset Road, Eastham. Open 9 am - 4:30 pm. Info: 508-255-3421 / contact Ashley Look with any questions regarding the exhibit at [email protected]

Elements Theatre Company presents Julius Caesar from August 14 - 17, starting at 8 pm.
Julius Caesar is William Shakespeare's enduring story of the struggle between ambition and loyalty, power and love, set in Rome in 44 BC. The production will be set outdoors in the stone atrium of the Church of the Transfiguration, a modern expression of an ancient basilican style of architecture. Surrounded by pillars of fire, the open night air, and the nearby ocean, Julius Caesar takes on a powerful, elemental quality that evokes the timelessness of the human condition. Related Events: A gourmet 3-course pre-show dinner is on August 9, 10, and 15. A special guest lecture will be given on Opening Night, August 8 at 7 pm by Michael Sexton, Artistic Director of the Shakespeare Society in New York City.

Cotuit Center for the Arts Upcoming Performances
Bark Park - now - August 24: Bark Park is a collection of two one-act plays. Both are set in a dog run not too far from Strawberry Fields in New York's Central Park. The first play is called Mia and it concerns an ambitious young woman who is new to New York and the issues she is having with her rambunctious border collie puppy. Truman follows the exploits of two dog park denizens as they try to come to terms with their true natures. Sure, fetch can be fun and nothing beats having your food served to you on a tray. But what wild new world waits just on the other side of the dog run fence?
Grey Gardens - now - August 31: 2007 Tony Award-Winning musical with book by Doug Wright, music by Scott Frankel, and lyrics by Michael Korie, is based on the 1975 documentary of the same title about the lives of Edith Ewig Bouvier Beale ("Big Edie") and her daughter Edith Bouvier Beale ("little Edie"). Directed by David McCarty and Music Direction by Henry Buck.
