James DeMarco grew up in Watertown and became a goaltender at age 5. It’s his life’s passion to stand between the pipes and keep the puck out of the net. Combining this with the love of cartooning Small Saves emerged in 1991 and took on a life of his own. “To play goal – then come home and draw Small Saves — is my ideal definition of a good day.”

I am returning from an extended vacation and a visit from COVID with a very Christmas-themed Watertown weekend, my apologies for missing the Chanukah party last weekend. This weekend Watertown is digging into Christmas seriously with both a movie and a live performance of the Nutcracker. The performance at the Mosesian Center is a ballet that takes a different twist on the story. The film of a traditional ballet performance is at the Majestic 7. At Grace Chapel on Sunday afternoon, there is a kid-focused Christmas party, and at Arsenal Yards, a cool pop-up market for buying sustainable locally made gifts.

The following announcement was provided by the Mosesian Center for the Arts Board:
The Mosesian Center for the Arts (MCA) received an off-cycle, emergency stabilization grant from the Watertown Community Foundation to offset the lasting impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. “Arts non-profits were hit hard during the pandemic. In an effort to build back after months of being shuttered, pandemic relief funds were used to create additional programming which also came with additional staffing. With the sudden and noticeable loss of the New Repertory Theatre, revenue did not keep up with the expanded programming,” explained MCA Board Chair, Shaunna Harrington.
