“The Majestic Theatre Youth Presents Disney’s Finding Nemo Kids on May 15 – 17”
Majestic’s production of Disney’s Finding Nemo Kids stars children and teens of The Majestic Academy of Dramatic Arts under the Direction of Collette Foley with assistance by Ilana Peet and Krystal Timinski.
About the show:&nbsp;Disney’s Finding Nemo KIDS is a 30-minute musical adaptation of the beloved 2003 Pixar movie Finding Nemo, with new music by award-winning songwriting team Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. Marlin, an anxious and over-protective clownfish, lives in the Great Barrier Reef with his kid Nemo, who longs to explore the world beyond their anemone home. But when Nemo is captured and taken to Sydney, Marlin faces his fears and sets off on an epic adventure across the ocean. With the help of lovable characters such as optimistic Dory, laid-back sea turtle Crush, and the supportive Tank Gang, Marlin and Nemo both overcome challenges on their journey to find each other and themselves. Featuring memorable songs such as “Just Keep Swimming,” “Fish Are Friends Not Food,” and “Go With the Flow,” Finding Nemo KIDS brings a vibrant underwater world to life on stage in a story full of family, friendship, and adventure. Following the show we will invite the audience to join Robert Dionne as he leads an interactive and fun sing-along of some great kid’s tunes!

Join us for Disney’s Finding Nemo Kids on Friday, May 15 at 7pm, Saturday, May 16 at 2pm and 7pm, and Sunday, May 17 at 2pm. Performances will be held at The Majestic Studio Theatre, 880 Page Street Manchester, NH 03109. Tickets are $15 for adults, $13 for seniors 65 and above, and $10 for youth 17 and under.

The Craftworkers’ Guild Spring&nbsp;Shop Celebrating 100 Years of&nbsp;Craftsmanship, Community and Creativity
The Craftworkers’ Guild is proud to continue the celebration of our 100th anniversary year with the Spring Shop. The shop will be open 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, Thursdays to Sundays from April 30th through May 24th. Our shop is located at the historic Kendall House, 3A Meetinghouse Road in Bedford, behind the Bedford Library.
Now in our centennial year, the Guild continues to honor a century-long commitment to excellence in fine craftsmanship. This year’s Spring Shop features the work of over 40 local Guild member artisans and craftspeople, showcasing a rich variety of handmade goods — from timeless New England traditions to fresh, modern designs.
“Reaching this 100-year milestone fills us with gratitude for the generations of crafters who shaped our Guild, and it inspires is to share a collection that honors that legacy while embracing new creative directions,” says Carol Davis, President of the Craftworkers’ Guild. “Each shop brings its own burst of imagination, and this year’s shop carries a special weight as we celebrate a century of handcrafted artistry.”
Shoppers will find a curated selection of locally made, juried crafts, with something for everyone — from Mother’s Day gifts to graduation and wedding presents — including seasonal décor, photography, fine art and prints, cards, woodworking, textiles, pottery, fiber arts, sewn and knitted items, soap and body care, gourmet goodies, candles, jewelry, glass, and more. Many items are one-of-a-kind, perfect for gifts or treating yourself.
Proceeds help support the Guild’s ongoing arts education initiatives in the community, continuing our mission to inspire creativity for the next generation of artists and makers.

Nashua Home Design Center

Thinking about adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or an in-law apartment to your property? 
An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) or in-law apartment can mean a lot of things. A place for aging parents to live independently but close by. A landing pad for an adult child. A future rental. A flexible space that adapts as life does. Whatever's drawing you to the idea, the questions tend to be the same: Is it allowed where I live? How much will it cost? Where would it even go? And how do I make sure it actually works?
Join us in the showrooms of the <a href="https://www.nashuahomedesigncenter.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Nashua Home Design Center</a> for a relaxed, conversational morning with David Bryan, President &amp; CEO, and Gates Bryan, Design Specialist, of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.blackdogbuilders.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">Blackdog Design/Build/Remodel</a>. Between them, they've helped countless New Hampshire and Massachusetts families think through these exact decisions, and they'll share what works, what doesn't, and what to think about before you start.What We’ll Cover:
<ul><li>What an ADU actually is, and what your town will (and won't) allow, between location, access, size, and utilities</li><li>The design constraints worth knowing about early</li><li>How to make an ADU feel like a natural extension of your home, not an addition tacked on</li><li>The family side of the conversation: finances, life changes, and how today's design should anticipate tomorrow's needs</li><li>Permitting in southern New Hampshire, and how the rules vary town to town</li><li>What it really takes to generate rental income from an ADU</li><li>The factors that genuinely move the needle on construction costs</li><li>How to choose the right people to work with</li><li>Smart, practical kitchen and bath design for smaller footprints</li></ul>
Come with questions. Leave with clarity, and a much better sense of what's possible on your own property!
Space is limited to 20 guests, so we keep things small&nbsp;enough for real conversation.
