The 2011 Somerville Sunsetters performance schedule has been set, Youth Arts Coordinator and Sunsetters Director Jimmy Del Ponte announced last  week.  The final schedule, with dates and locations, can be found on the City’s website, http://www.somervillema.gov/, under “Alerts.”  The 2011 season kicked off  Thursday, June 30th, at the annual Fourth of July Fireworks Celebration . In addition to resident-requested performances on residential streets every Monday-Thursday evening, the Sunsetters will perform at ArtBeat in July and the Mayor’s Senior Picnic in August.  All performances are free and open to the public.

The Sunsetters are a traveling performance troupe which performs classic show tunes and modern musicals in Somerville neighborhoods throughout July and August.  A popular tradition in the 1970s and 1980s, the group was reformed in 2004 under the direction of former Sunsetter Ken Longergan.
