The Taunton High School Drama Club will present the production, according to a community announcement.

The musical features familiar songs and scenes, including "Greased Lightnin'," "Beauty School Dropout," the Rydell Fight Song and the hand jive.

North Attleborough Pet of the Week—Buzz

Poor Buzz has been through a lot in the last few months. He is a neutered male, up to date with vaccines and is ready to find his new home. Buzz is a little nervous, and will need a calm and patient adopter that will give him time to come out of his shell. He does well with other cats, but due to his timidness, a home without any young kids or excitable dogs would be best.

Scituate restaurant Mill Wharf is closing temporarily this Saturday

A longtime staple in Scituate Harbor will close its doors for the winter at the end of business on Saturday to undergo some improvements. The Mill Wharf will close temporarily at the end of business on Nov. 14 to accommodate renovations and a refresh. "For years, The Mill Wharf has been a place where our Scituate community and visitors have gathered to share great food, beautiful views, and memorable moments," the owners wrote in a Facebook post. "As we look toward the future, it’s time to give our beloved restaurant the care and attention it needs." In addition to renovating the space, the post said the restaurant will undergo a "brand refresh" as well. After nearly 40 years at the helm, Bob Warner sold the Mill Wharf in 2022 to father-son team of Doug Traina and Dan Groom-Traina. Warner's family purchased the property where the restaurant stands in 1981, and the restaurant opened Aug. 1, 1984. The restaurant plans to reopen in the spring of 2027. The Mill Wharf is located at 23 Mill Wharf Plaza in Scituate. Food, dining and grocery reporter Jessica Trufant can be reached at jtrufant@patriotledger.com.
