On the cover

10 Michael Witthaus takes a look at summer theater — from the shows for kids and the shows by kids to the shows that will take place in the fresh air. Cover photo of a previous production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Saint Anselm College by Matthew Lomanno.

Also on the cover: Michael also takes a look at the Nashua Area Artists Association’s revived ArtHub Gallery (page 15). It’s a good weekend for Greek eats — John Fladd takes a look at Karv Greek Kouzina in Windham (page 18) and offers information about this weekend’s Greek Food Festival at St. Philip in Nashua (page 20). And find all sorts of music this weekend — shows at area restaurants (listed in the Music This Week on page 26), ticketed shows (see the Concert listings on page 30) and Ward Hayden & the Outliers at Pembroke City Limits (page 25, also by Michael).
