Marshwood High School is Off to the Highlands in BRIGADOON

by BWW News Desk Mar. 19, 2018  

The arts bring the opportunity to explore a new culture, a new time period, and a new place. The cast of Marshwood High School’s production of Brigadoon has been doing just that as they explore Scotland in 1746.

Tommy Albright and Jeff Douglas, New Yorkers on a Scottish hunting trip, get lost in the woods and come upon the magical village of Brigadoon. Rising out of the Scottish mist only once every 100 years, and only for one day, Brigadoon is an enchanted place where life is simpler and easier, untouched by the worries of the modern world. When Tommy falls for beautiful villager Fiona MacLaren, he must decide whether to stay or to return to his life.

Two summers ago, director Tanya West had the amazing opportunity to study Celtic music and dance at the University of Limerick in Ireland. It was a summer intensive program where she found herself completely immersed in a new culture and an art form full of tradition. Celtic music and dance has a rich foundation in story-telling and folklore, family and tradition. She discovered that the performing arts has a strong place and important role in Celtic life.

In her travels through the countries where Celtic culture is most alive – Ireland, Scotland and Wales – West was struck by the sense of community the arts creates as a living, breathing tradition. “It’s impossible for your imagination not to run wild when listening to music in an Irish pub, exploring castle ruins in Ireland, wandering village streets in Wales, dancing at a Scottish ceilidh, or riding in a horse-drawn wagon through a forest which our driver assured us was enchanted with fairies,” she said. She saw that the locals are utterly in love with their culture and adore sharing it. “It has been such a pleasure revisiting that magic through Brigadoon. It has been wonderful to bring the Celtic influence and Scottish traditions to my students through this theatrical experience,” she added.

In the craziness of the everyday, modern world, don’t miss your chance to escape into this enchanting fairy tale set in a magical place. As one character says, “There must be an awful lot of folk searching for a Brigadoon” — even if it only lasts for a couple of hours.

Performances for Brigadoon will be Friday March 30, Saturday March 31st, Friday April 6 and Saturday April 7 at 7pm, at the Wesley E. Kennedy Performing Arts Center at Marshwood High School. Tickets are available for $10 in advance and $12 at the door and reservations can be made by calling Marshwood High School at 207-384- 4500 or online at marshwoodmusic.org by clicking on “Spring Musical”.

Marshwood High Ready to Make ‘Brigadoon’ Appear

March 29, 2018

 

SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — The village of Brigadoon appears out of the Scottish mists for one day every 100 years. Students at Marshwood High School will make it appear four times over the next two weekends at the Wesley Kennedy Performing Arts Center at the school.

The Alan Jay Lerner/Frederick Lowe musical takes place in 1946. American tourists Tommy Albright and Jeff Douglas get lost in the Scottish Highlands and stumble upon the village. As Tommy falls in love with villager Fiona MacLaren, he and Jeff learn that 200 years earlier, to protect Brigadoon from being changed by the outside world, the local minister prayed to God to have Brigadoon disappear, to reappear for only one day every 100 years.

Brigadoon is stuck in 1746. An outsider can be permitted to live in the village for love, but if anyone leaves, the village disappears forever.

Director Tanya West, choral music teacher at MHS, studied Celtic music and dance at the University of Limerick in Ireland two summers ago. She said she discovered the performing arts have a strong place in Celtic life.

Traveling through Ireland, Scotland and Wales, West said she was struck by the sense of community the arts create as a living, breathing tradition.

“It’s impossible for your imagination not to run wild when listening to music in an Irish pub, exploring castle ruins in Ireland, wandering village streets in Wales, dancing at a Scottish cèilidh, or riding in a horse-drawn wagon through a forest which our driver assured us was enchanted with fairies,” she said. “It has been such a pleasure revisiting that magic through ‘Brigadoon.’ It has been wonderful to bring the Celtic influence and Scottish traditions to my students through this theatrical experience.”

During a rehearsal this week, “Brigadoon” came alive as Tommy and Jeff wandered into a festival in the village.

Ava Magoon plays Fiona MacLaren. A senior, she has appeared in many shows, beginning with the annual district musical since she was in fifth grade. She has been in the two musicals and play presented each year at MHS. She plans to study psychology at St. Michael’s College in Vermont. Magoon said her favorite song in “Brigadoon” is “Waitin’ for my Dearie.”

Douglas, one of the Americans, is played by junior Chance Brown, who has been in six or seven shows at Marshwood. He is looking at attending the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University or the University of Maine at Orono.

Senior Trevor Stanley plays Albright, the second American. Stanley said he has been in 42 shows through the grades, including some at Seacoast Repertory Theatre and the Garrison Players. “I do this (theater) and work,” he said, adding he attends rehearsals every night. He plans to attend the University of Arizona on a pre-med tract.

Through the first act, the Americans meet the villagers, Tommy falls in love, Jeff is pursued by Meg Brockie (Fiona Scharff), there is a wedding – with a sword dance, and just before the first act curtain, the village’s existence is threatened.

The production features an orchestra pit with 10 musicians led by school band director David Graichen. In the wings, stage managers junior Iszy Trull and freshman Stella D’Aran, herd the cast.

Many of the songs are familiar, especially “Almost Like Being in Love,” and the cast belts them out with warmth and confidence. Their colorful costumes, including a couple of kilts, sustain the illusion of another place in another time.

West watched the dress rehearsal from various seats in the hall, taking notes. At intermission she said, “I have some great kids.”

Performances are Friday, March 30, Saturday, March 31, and April 6-7, all at 7 p.m. at Marshwood High. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door. For reservations, call MHS at (207) 384-4500 or visit marshwoodmusic.org and click on “Spring Musical.”

Museums and Mixed Media Inspire Students

 SOUTH BERWICK — Historic New England presents Make History, an exhibition featuring the work of thirty-two Marshwood High School art students in ceramics and mixed media, on April 7 to May 19 at Sarah Orne Jewett House Museum and Visitor Center. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, April 12, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the site. Both the exhibition and the reception are free and open to the public.

Make History is the culmination of an educational collaboration between Historic New England and Marshwood High School in which students were inspired to create personal meanings from the Sarah Orne Jewett House story in the form of visual interpretations.

Students visited the Sarah Orne Jewett House Museum, exploring rooms and collections, including works by Marcia Oakes Woodbury and Charles Woodbury, Sarah Wyman Whitman, and Celia Thaxter, to investigate the influence of Jewett’s surroundings on her work. One visit took the form of “classroom in the museum,” as students selected a space in the house to study, sketch, or write.

Back at Marshwood High School, the mixed media studio lesson challenged students to incorporate a variety of techniques and to use pattern in a unique way. Ceramics students were asked to create paper blueprints, in which all aspects of their intended works, from decorative details to structure and shape, were planned, prior to working in clay.

The project was then conceived by Historic New England Maine Education Program Coordinator Julia Einstein and was inspired by the collaboration between Sarah Orne Jewett and Marcia Oakes Woodbury and Charles Woodbury in developing illustrations for a second edition of Jewett’s successful novel, Deephaven.

“With this exhibition,” Einstein said, “the creative process is made visible, and we see what intrigued the students, through initial sketches and notes of what became a work of art on canvas or in clay. And we invite visitors to the exhibition to look for ways the students have connected art and history.”

Marshwood High School art teacher Rebecca Poliquin said, “I believe it is important to get students out of the classroom and into the community. This collaboration with the Sarah Orne Jewett house has proven to be an effective and exciting way to motivate high school students to create authentic artwork.”

Sarah Orne Jewett House Museum and Visitor Center is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the first and third Saturdays of each month through May. Reservations for the opening reception are recommended. The museum is located at 5 Portland St., South Berwick. For more information, please call (207) 384-2454, JewettHouse@HistoricNewEngland.org. or visit the website at HistoricNewEngland.org.

Make History: Community as Classroom is an exhibition to run from April 1-May 19, 2018 at Sarah Orne Jewett Visitor Center. The exhibition is the result of creative collaboration of shared teaching and learning experiences between Historic New England Education Program Coordinator Julia Einstein and Marshwood High School Visual Art Faculty, Jeff Vinciguerra, and Rebecca Poliquin. We’re proud to have faculty from Visual Art Department Head Patricia Sevigny-Higgins who was chosen by The Maine Art Education Association to receive the 2018 Distinguished Educator Award for the state of Maine.
Jeff Vinciguerra describes this project, “Everything about the project fits perfectly with my own philosophies as an educator. This process has been a great way to shake up my routine and make meaningful connections between my classroom, the community, and local history. As someone interested in the local history we are fortunate to have well documented around here I was thrilled to begin this process. I’ve noticed my students seem to appreciate the magnitude of this project and have been deeply engaged while building their ceramic objects and managing the various deadlines they are under.”
Rebecca Poliquin was inspired to use this project as a model in her current studies for a degree in a Master of Art Teaching. She says, “My Mixed Media class developed big ideas that were inspired by their visit to the Sarah Orne Jewett House; themes included history, nature, time, and place. Some of the students had previous experience with the Sarah Orne Jewett house because it is such a notable part of the community. Many of them had been to the museum during the Hike Through History in elementary school so this was a nice opportunity to return to the house and relive their past experiences.”

Matt Rix Steps Down as Marshwood Wrestling Coach after 33 Years

By Mike Whaley mwhaley@fosters.com Apr 9, 2018

 SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — For Matt Rix, it was finally time.

The varsity wrestling coach at Marshwood High School for 33 years, Rix pulled the trigger last week and stepped down.

Rix had considered resigning last year, and again in 2009 after his son, Matty, died. In both cases he stayed on, but after a challenging winter that saw the Hawks win their sixth Class A wrestling state title in seven years, it was time to make the call.

“I needed to take a little break,” said Rix, who suffered a stress-related heart attack last October that played a role in his decision. “I was a little tired this year. It’s time for someone new to take over.”

A 1981 Marshwood grad, Rix wrestled for the Hawks and later joined the wrestling staff as an assistant in 1983 — the first of 35 years with the program as a coach.

Marshwood won its first wrestling title in 1989, in Class B. Three more followed before the program was moved up to Class A earlier this century.

The Hawks captured the first of six Class A titles in 2012.

Marshwood won 10 state titles under Rix. Forty-four wrestlers have amassed 100 or more career wins and three have 200-plus career wins — Brad Beaulieu, Cody Hughes and Jackson Howarth.

Hughes (Virginia Tech) and Beaulieu (Old Dominion) are wrestling at the NCAA Division I level. Hughes had the most career high school wrestling wins in Maine until Beaulieu passed him in 2017.

Rix’s final dual meet record — 621 wins, 125 losses, 5 ties — ranks him 15th nationally.

He was elected to the Maine Amateur Wrestling Alliance Hall of Fame in 2005.

It’s been quite a run.

Rix was 22 when he was named head coach in 1985.

He remembers having the support of the boosters, although the school board had some reservations about hiring him because of his youth.

But hire him they did.

It was a move he never let them regret.

Those early years he lived in Sanford, worked a job on third shift and recalls hitchhiking to and from practice.

When Rix and his wife started to raise a family, they moved to closer to Marshwood so the kids could benefit from the wrestling program. By then there was a junior high team and a freestyle club.

“I wanted to set it up so you can take it as far as you want to go,” Rix said. “It wound up being my daughter.”

Deanna Rix, now Deanna Betterman, has been an Olympic wrestling hopeful. She lives with her husband and three children in Colorado Springs, Colo., where, like her dad, she is a high school wrestling coach.

The first good wave of Marshwood wrestlers featured Abel Schultze and Todd Hughes, the father of Cody Hughes. They helped the Hawks win the 1989 Class B title.

Three more championships followed in 1993, 1997 and 1999 before the Hawks made the move to Class A.

There was success in the 21st century but mostly it was playing second fiddle to rival Noble, who dominated with 11 titles in 13 years.

Matty Rix died in 2009 at age 19. Rix’s only son, the coach spiraled downward into a dark place.

Wrestling helped to pull him out.

“I seriously considered getting out at that time,” Rix said. “I didn’t think I could get it together enough to move forward.”

But he had told some of his wrestlers he would be doing the summer camp.

“They made me own it,” he said. “I did the camp and once I got into the wrestling room it was really comfortable. It was one of those places I didn’t think about Matty.”

That 2013 class, with Nick Janes, Terence O’Brien and Luke Howarth, was instrumental in keeping Rix going.

There was some extreme success as well.

The Hawks won four straight Class A state titles and six in seven years.

“It definitely helped to keep me here,” Rix said. “If I wasn’t successful, maybe I would have felt I wasn’t doing the program any justice.”

He left an imprint on his wrestlers, including Pat Howard, a former wrestler turned assistant coach. “He’s the whole reason behind why I am here,” Howard once said. “I learn something new from him every season. Working with him every day is an honor. He’s helped so many people in so many ways.”

Roger Dionne, a friend of Rix’s since high school and his trusted stat man, said: “He always coached each and every kid on the team no matter how good he was. If they had a problem they could go to him.”

Wells coach Scott Lewia credits Rix with helping to improve the Wells program simply by welcoming their team to work out with the Hawks on the eve of the regional and state tournaments.

“He opened the door for us,” said Lewia, a Maine wrestling coach for 33 years. “Before that, Wells kind of shied away from stronger competition. My kids realized that they are just kids like us. We’ve been Class B state champs the last two years. A big part of our success has been working with Marshwood.”

Rix had planned to retire after last year, but the school was going through a transition with the wrestling and weight rooms being relocated.

“I really wanted to make sure that got taken care of the right way,” he said. “I kind of hung in there this year to make sure that all worked out the way we wanted to.”

Rix also got remarried last year to Teresa, a former high school classmate.

He laughed, saying: “We were probably the least likely to hook up in high school. I played sports and she studied. She was one of the top kids in the class and I wasn’t even close.”

Now that he’s out of coaching, Rix said he has a piece of land in northern Maine they can spend some time at. His dad lives in Florida and his health has been failing, so he plans to visit him. Now, of course, there is also time to travel west and visit his daughter’s family.

Rix’s grandson, Mason, is in kindergarten and, yes, he is wrestling.

Rix feels good about this past year, the way things ended up when it looked like things might not go so well.

“You always want to go out on top,” he said. “We left a decent group for next year.”

The turning point, like last year, came at the Merrimack (N.H.) Duals.

“We gave up four weight classes that day,” Rix said. “We had kids all over the place just to fill spots. They were all in. The kids didn’t care. They believed in where we put them.”

The Hawks gave up five weight classes at the regional meet and finished second to rival Noble.

Everything fell into place at the state meet.

“For us to win this year under the circumstances,” Rix said, ”(it was) probably the sweetest one, the most rewarding as a coach.”

The perfect going away present.

Class A South Baseball: Marshwood Knocks Around Massabesic for First Win

By Dan Doyon / sports@seacoastonline.com  Apr 24, 2018

 Screen Shot 2018-04-26 at 12.07.17 PM Screen Shot 2018-04-26 at 12.07.37 PM Screen Shot 2018-04-26 at 12.07.52 PMSOUTH BERWICK, Maine – Coming off a rare season that didn’t include a postseason run, Marshwood High School baseball coach Eric Fernandes believes he has a group that can get the Hawks back into the mix this year.

If Tuesday afternoon’s game against Massabesic is any indication, the Hawks have a potentially dangerous lineup to lead the way.

Marshwood scored five runs in the bottom of the first inning and finished with 16 hits during its 18-8 Class A South victory over the Mustangs. The game was called in the sixth inning due to the 10-run mercy rule after sophomore Marshall Smaracko cleared the bases with a double.

“We hit the ball real well,” Fernandes said “We hit a lot of line drives. We’ve been really focusing on a lot line-drive hitting, and they’ve really bought into it. They took advantage of what was given to them.”

Smaracko and senior Max Horton each finished 3-for-4 with four RBIS, as Horton (four runs) came a double short of hitting for the cycle. Horton is one of seven starters back from a team that went 3-13 and missed the regional tournament for the first time in seven years.

“We did a good job at the plate today, and we’re hoping that’ll translate to the rest of the season,” Horton said. “I think as a team we’ve got a lot of potential. We definitely have to clean up the defensive side of the game, but we’re very happy with what we did offensively today.”

After dropping a 5-3 decision to Biddeford in its season opener two weeks ago, Marshwood (1-1) exceeded that total in the bottom of the first inning.

Massabesic (0-2) took a 1-0 against Marshwood starting pitcher Cooper Whitehouse, but Massabesic starter Alex Schepis immediately ran into trouble when Ian Parmley led off with a walk and Trevor Chase singled. Horton followed with a two-run single and he scored on Jack Cahill’s single. Whitehouse gave the Hawks a 5-1 lead with two-run single to center field.

Horton delivered a RBI triple in the bottom of the second, and Schepis was forced out the game after taking a Nate Curtis line drive off his left wrist. Connor Caverly (three hits) drove in Horton with single off reliever Tyler Nostrum, and Smaracko added a two-run single to give Marshwood a 9-2 lead.

“I just thought we took some good swings,” Smaracko said. “This team has a ton of potential, and we’ve got to keep working, and hopefully it’ll translate.”

Horton hit his first career home run in the third inning, and Curtis highlighted Marshwood’s four-run fourth with a two-run triple that gave the Hawks a 15-4 lead.

“We didn’t make plays and that’s the bottom line” Massabesic coach Cory Woodsome said. “We’re an extremely young team, and we’ve still got a lot of work to do.”

Waterhouse lasted 1 2/3 innings after throwing 53 pitches, and he gave way to Adam Doyon, Horton, Curtis and Smaracko the rest of the way. The Mustangs scored four runs against Curtis in the fifth inning, before Smaracko finished the inning and tossed a scoreless sixth.

“We did not play good defensive baseball, and the pitching struggled early. I think it was more jitters than anything,” Fernandes said. “It was one of those days where the score was going to be where it was. Thank God it was on our side.”

Marshwood continues its first full week on Thursday at Scarborough (1-2) and at home on Saturday against Windham (0-1).

“They’re more prepared (this year) and they’re eager,” Fernandes said. “What I like about it is that it didn’t seem to faze them offensively that they were making mistakes defensively. I like this group.”
