Ptown Galleries Pivot & Collaborate

Ptownie promised to give you more information on how businesses and sectors in Provincetown “pivoted” during the tough Covid year. Everyone has learned a great deal.

A New Look for Curaleaf

What is Tim-Scapes? In the relatively short ten years that Tim Convery has lived in Provincetown, his Tim-Scapes have become “the” iconic representations of our town at land’s end.

Provincetown History Snippet: The Moors Motel & Restaurant

Today it’s AWOL, part of the chain of Lark Hotels, but in the 1950s at the end of Bradford Street Extension you’d have found The Moors Motel and The Moors Restaurant. The promotional postcard for the motel noted it was “Provincetown’s nicest, overlooking the beautiful moors. Pool—private telephones and television, piped in music. Continental breakfast...

Indecent at the Cape Rep is Anything But

I have to begin this review with a caveat: nothing I can write will do justice to Indecent or to Cape Rep’s production of this “true story of a little Jewish play.” It may well be the most perfect thing I’ve ever seen on stage. There’s dancing. There’s music. There’s joy and pain and transcendence—and...

Provincetown History Snippet: Tennessee Williams in Provincetown

With the Tennessee Williams Festival right around the corner, it’s a good time to turn to festival curator David Kaplan’s book and remind ourselves of how Williams contributed to the town—and the town to him.
