Today through Sunday residents can catch the TMHS Drama Club’s production of Clue. Join the eclectic crew of Professor Plum, Ms. Scarlett, Colonel Mustard and all your favorite classic characters as they struggle to find out, WHO DID IT?
While tickets may be on sale at the door, depending on availability, the producers suggest securing your seats ahead of time because social-distancing requirements mean fewer tickets are for sale for each show. At just $10, they’re selling quickly. You can select and purchase your seats now online. If you have questions, please email Celeste Pellegrino at cpellegrino@tewksbury.k12.ma.us.

ONGOING HAPPENINGS
In ongoing events, the Tewksbury Food Pantry is collecting donations all week ahead of its annual Thanksgiving distribution. Residents may drop off nonperishable items at dropboxes around town or at the pantry at 999 Whipple Road. Donations may also be dropped off at Tewksbury Dental Associates at 1438 Main St. through November 16.
Tewksbury continues to battle Wilmington for the The Reading Cup in the towns’ first annual “Reading Rivals” Competition. Residents can win weekly $25 gift cards along the way and be entered into the grand prize raffle for completing a minimum of three hours of reading.
The competition is tight, so every hour counts between now and when the contest ends on November 24. Join in with your existing Beanstack account, or sign up for one here.
Local organizations that want their events listed are invited to contact Christine Chesbrough via the Connected Facebook group or send their info to editor@tewksburycarnation.org.
