Our featured animal this week is a tiny kitten we named Catama because she (or he) was found in the Katama area of Edgartown. About four weeks old, Catama would fit in the palm of your hand.

Strong characters with Russian accents, a story line set in an era unfamiliar to teenagers, an elaborate set design with complicated lighting cues and music that covers the waterfront — it’s no wonder the high school drama department started work on this play last spring.
But they did and the hard work was evident at Chess the Musical, which opened last night at the high school Performing Arts Center and shows again tonight and on Sunday this weekend.
