Franklin Public Library: End of Summer Carnival
"Theater operates on that whole suspension of disbelief system"
The Milford Daily News writes about Elizabeth Barrett Groth who was nominated last month for a "New York Innovative Theatre Award in outstanding innovative design for a puppet she created"
She credits her education (and a childhood of watching the Muppets) in helping her to find a niche in designing the costumes and sets that help a production cheat reality. In 2010, the former Franklin School for the Performing Arts student earned a master’s in theater design from Yale University School of Drama.
Asked about what prompted her to abandon her acting career, Barrett Groth said she always was fascinated by the costumes and set of a performance, more so than the actors themselves.
"I don’t pretend to be a really great actress," she said. "What I enjoyed the most about acting was putting the costume together before hand — the visual side of things. When I would read a play, I would be more worried about imagining what everything actually looked like than the motivation behind the characters."

10th Norfolk Democratic Debate results
The 2nd debate or question and answer discussion for the Democratic Candidates was held at Medway High School Tuesday night. About 70 folks attended, applauding frequently as their respective candidate made a point. The Milford Daily News reports on the event in part by writing:
My thanks to you for helping craft the questions that for the most part were used in the debate.
So far, the Franklin residents in the race for 10th Norfolk District seat, formerly held by James Vallee, have not hid their similarities — their backgrounds in law and focus on desire to push for more local aid.
And the candidates continue to force home a pledge that the district, Franklin and parts of Medway, would have a constant voice in the state’s House of Representatives.
But during Tuesday night’s debate, the congenial mood of the race seemed at points to become a bit more combative.Read more: http://www.milforddailynews.com/news/x1405829838/Democratic-House-candidates-stress-their-differences#ixzz24GY77vqu
