'Beauty and the Beast' and 'Peggy, the Pint-Sized Pirate' premiere this weekend
As the adventurous pirates yell 'Ship Ahoy', little do they know they are heading straight for the Sea Monster who captures all of them for littering.

The following was submitted by Theatre of Light:St. John's Prep takes over top spot in baseball top 20
St. Johns Prep takes over the new No. 1 spot in the top 20 after defeating BC High, 6-5, last Wednesday on the road. Newton North is still undefeated at 10-0 but the the Preps schedule against the likes of BC High and Xaverian gave them the edge this week over the Tigers.
As for the fourth and fifth-place spots, it was a hard call between BC High and the Rebels of Walpole. Walpole has played more games (currently 9-1) than the Eagles but if strength of opponents gave the Prep the edge we had to apply that same principal to the close battle for fourth and fith place.
Danvers moved up three spots from last week after going 2-0 since last Sunday. The Falcons are 6-0 on the year, joining Newton North, Archbishop Williams and North Reading in the undefeated top 20 teams club.
As for Coyle & Cassidy, the Warriors might not be undefeated but they are leading the Eastern Athletic Conference at the moment. With an 8-1 overall record paired with an undefeated league mark, the Warriors climbed to the 11th spot this week.
Looking toward the bottom of the rankings, Xaverian stays in the top 20 despite a less-than-stellar record so far this year. Much like last year, the Hawks have struggled to start this season with a 5-4 record. They split their two games this past week, defeating Brockton last Monday but losing to Catholic Conference rival Catholic Memorial on Wednesday. Its getting harder and harder to keep the Hawks on this list based on anything but name and their Division 1 title from a year ago.
First responders awards ceremony in Danvers postponed due to bomber chase
Because of the recent developments regarding suspects responsible for the Boston Marathon bombings, the Action Ambulance First Responders Awards Ceremony has been postponed until further notice.
The awards, organized by the Action Ambulance service, were scheduled to be held Friday night at 7:30 at the Doubletree Hilton Boston North Shore Hotel in Danvers.
Deborah Chiaravalloti, a public relations consultant with Action Ambulance, said that the ceremony will most likely be rescheduled to a date in either late May or early June.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) deputy commissioner, Richard Serino, is featured as the keynote speaker of the event.
The ceremony will also honor Koda, a K-9 search and rescue dog; Lee Prentiss, an Ipswich firefighter; Janet Ray, a nurse at Anna Jaques Hospital Emergency Room; and Amy West, Newburyport Police dispatch supervisor.
Serino invented the Boston Area Mutual Aid (BAMA) radio alert system that simultaneously alerts all EMS agencies in Metro Boston to respond to incidents of any scale. This system was used to coordinate immediate EMS response to the bombings at the Boston Marathon on Monday.
Also being honored are Essex County Sheriff Frank Cousins, Jr., and Essex District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett for the TRIAD program - safety for seniors.

John Duella named St. John's Prep head varsity basketball coach
After St. Johns Prep head varsity basketball coach Sean Connolly stepped down in March, athletic director Jim OLeary didnt have to look far for a replacement. In a news conference at the school Monday at 4 p.m., it was announced that assistant varsity coach John Duella of Peabody would succeed Connolly.
Im thankful to everyone at St. Johns Prep for the opportunity to be head coach and their confidence in me to keep the program going in the right direction, Duella said. This is something Ive always wanted and I couldnt ask for a better team.
Duella said he expressed interest in the position as soon as Connolly, who led the Eagles for five years, stepped down. He found out he got the job last week in a meeting with St. Johns Prep principal Keith A. Crowley, and OLeary, but he had to keep it a secret until the official announcement.
Duella, a physical education teacher for grades 6 to 8 in the Peabody school system, has been assistant varsity coach since 2009 and helped Connolly lead the Eagles to the Division 1 state championship in 2011. He also assisted in leading them to Catholic Conference championships in 2010, 2011, and 2013.
He has high hopes, and believes he can lead St. John's Prep to another tournament win.
We were 18-2 last season but suffered a disappointing loss in the tournament, Duella said. I hope we can build off of [the loss] and go even farther this season.
