Boston Globe 6/30/2021: ‘It’s what we love, what we do together’: Vokes Players return to an outdoor stage. The gap in Donnie Baillargeon’s life during the pandemic was starting to get to him: He missed live community theater. Over more than 50 years, he had acted, directed, and produced shows, designed sets, and handled props. “I had the lead in a play when I was in second grade,” said Baillargeon, a Lowell native who now lives in Marlborough. When COVID-19 crushed indoor performances, Baillargeon searched for an alternative. This spring, while indoor stages large and small remained shuttered, he began directing an outdoor production for the Vokes Players in Wayland.
