What To Do This Weekend - Take in a Show, Head to a Festival

Well folks, there is so much on lately, it is hard to even begin to write it up, if that makes any sense at all!

I'm sure you know by now that Shakespeare By The Sea has performances throughout the week, including on the weekends. this weekend marks the debut of the The Curious Case in the Colony: A Sherlock Holmes Adventure, playing Sundays and Mondays @ 8 pm now until August 22 at the Newman Wine Vaults!

Another performance to take in: Makin' Time with the Yanks, directed by Mary Walsh,  tells the story of a culture clash between Yanks and Newfs, their romantic entanglements, in a "musical comedy" kind of way. On now until the 24th at the LSPU Hall.
