Vorelli’s: A Provincetown Classic of Flavor and History

On Provincetown’s bustling Commercial Street, where galleries, cafés, and century-old storefronts crowd together in a kaleidoscope of Cape Cod charm, one landmark restaurant has been serving both history and hospitality in equal measure: Vorelli’s. The building itself, perched at 226-228 Commercial Street, has been part of the town’s cultural and commercial fabric for nearly a century and a half. Constructed in 1880 in the Second Empire style, its mansard roof and narrow façade echo the architectural trends of the late nineteenth century, when Provincetown was a booming fishing port with a growing tourist economy.

Anchoring Provincetown in Tradition Since 1795

An Evening of Craic: “Trad” at the Cape Rep Theater

Craic is, of course, an Irish term, connotating a fun, enjoyable time; and that’s precisely what the Cape Rep delivers in comedian-turned-playwright Mark Doherty’s Trad, a hilariously funny and occasionally thoughtful look at generational priorities, love, and the passing of time. As the name suggests, this play is about tradition—but also about much more, mostly about loss (of time, of body parts, of culture, of family). And yet despite all that, it is hysterically, side-achingly funny. Read Review…
