📰 Theater kids win big 🎉⬇️

Students from the Dreamland Stage Company earned top honors at the Junior Theater Festival in Atlanta, Georgia over the weekend, taking home the award for Excellence in Ensemble Work. The company was recognized for its condensed performance of Disney's Newsies Jr. The original Newsies production came out on Broadway in 2012, based on the 1992 movie.

The recognition marks a significant milestone for Laura Gallagher Byrne, artistic director at Dreamland Stage Company, and her students, as it's the first time the company has received such an award. "When I received the news that we were accepted [to the festival], I conveyed to the students that we should approach this with a spirit of adventure — without any expectations other than learning, meeting new people, and leaning into what we do best: working together as a group," Byrne told DayBreak Nantucket. "When we heard our name called for the award, the pure joy and tears didn't wear off for the rest of the night. This has been a life-changing event for all of us." The Junior Theater Festival is a weekend-long event that bring youth groups from around the world to celebrate theater. It's the largest and most prestigious event of its kind. In addition to performing at the festival, Nantucket students had the chance to workshop with professional actors, hear from Broadway stars, and watch performances by other theater groups from around the country.

Congratulations to these amazing students! 👏🎭 For more of Nantucket's top headlines, check out today's DayBreak Nantucket issue at the link in below!

📰 Nantucket designated a "seasonal community" ⬇️

Nantucket has officially been designated a "seasonal community" by Massachusetts lawmakers, opening access to new resources to tackle the island's housing challenges. The designation, part of the state's Affordable Homes Act signed into law earlier this year, aims to support communities facing rising housing costs and limited attainable housing due to seasonal fluctuations in demand. Twenty-four other Massachusetts communities made the cut after meeting certain criteria outlined in the law, the CC Times reported.

With the designation, Nantucket can implement tools to expand year-round housing options. These include year-round occupancy restrictions, preferences for municipal workers, creating a year-round housing trust fund, allowing tiny homes by-right, and increasing property tax exemptions for primary residences, Nantucket officials said in a press release. The Seasonal Communities Advisory Council, established to oversee and guide the implementation of these policies, held its first meeting last week. Nantucket land use planner Megan Trudel was among the council members, joining state officials and representatives from other seasonal communities. "With this designation and the tools provided by the Affordable Homes Act, we now have a real opportunity to protect Nantucket’s year-round economy and preserve the unique character that makes the island home," said Massachusetts Sen. Julian Cyr. "This is about keeping Nantucket a place where people can live, work, and thrive — not just visit."

The Seasonal Communities designation creates a framework for designating communities with substantial seasonal variations in employment and developing policies and programs to help them unlock housing production opportunities.
