Yellow Taxi is offering free professional theatre in Greeley Park in conjunction with the City of Nashua's Summer Fun events on Saturday and Sunday August 11th  & 12th  at 7:30pm.  Yellow Taxi is performing Indoor/Outdoor written by Kenny Finkle and directed by K.J. Cowan of Virginia.  In this sentimental comedy, a cat named Samantha (Leah Belanger of Manchester New Hampshire) has just started living with a guy named Shuman (Eric Skoglund of Manchester, New Hampshire) who she believes is her true love.  Things become problematic when one night Oscar (Bradley Brinkley of South Carolina), a sexy alley cat shows up at the sliding glass door.  Samantha begins to wonder whether she's an indoor cat or an outdoor cat.

Looks so beautiful and inviting. This is one place I have not been in the world. I have never been to New Hampshire. One day I am going to visit all the wonderful places I have missed in the US.

Joan! My sister lives in Nashua and when our kids were young (and I was home visiting) we would take them to Greeley Park and let them splash around in the pool. It's a wonderful old fashioned park and your post brought back a lot of good memories.
