The latest comedy written by Footlights Theatre’s artistic director Michael J. Tobin is an absolute hoot. “That’s What SHE Said!” tells the tale of what happens when the ladies of Cooters Cleaners accidentally go live on the TV show ‘Shenanigans’ with their advice on life, love and sex. Tobin’s recipe for entertainment includes two cups of gossip, 1/4 cup of rumors, a pinch of drama and endless amounts of laughter.

Hike Bradbury Mountain
Dawn to dusk daily. Bradbury Mountain State Park, Trailhead off Route 9 in Pownal. mainetrailfinder.com
You don’t need to be Sir Edmund Hillary to tackle Bradbury Mountain, but you can still make it into a challenge by trekking your way up, over and around its many short trails like the 1-mile Northern Loop and the 1.5-mile Boundary Trail. Despite being under 500 feet high, the views are lovely, and you might catch site of a hawk in flight as they seem to love the area. Leashed dogs are welcome. Bradbury also offers 10 miles of single-track mountain bike trails and 5 miles of double-tracked trails.
