10.) The Provincetown Jazz Festival presented Jazz Pianist & Composer Fabiano de Castro from Brazil at a sold-out concert at the Cotuit Center for the Arts. Fabiano is the first musician from South America to appear at the festival and he also performed an encore with Kate McGarry, a Grammy-Nominated Jazz Vocalist from North Carolina who is originally from Cape Cod.
9.) The Cotuit Center for the Arts produced some unique theater productions including “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” ‘Gypsy!’ and “The Pirates of Penzance.”
