The Wednesday Feature
Oh my goodness! Wednesday has rolled around again already. I have been on an entertainment binge lately. Last Wednesday I kicked off the week with David Mamet's Sexual Perversity in Chicago at Towson University followed on Thursday by Arthur Miller's The Crucible at University of Maryland. On Saturday afternoon the students at the high school where I teach performed the musical comedy You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Saturday evening, as featured previously in the blog, Belfast based Irish traditional music band Craobh Rua performed at the Carroll Arts Center. Sunday evening Rose and I enjoyed Center Stage's production of Motti Lerner's The Murder of Isaac, which continues through March 12. And finally, last night I went to the first event of the American Piano Festival at University of Maryland - jazz pianist Steve Kuhn. Festival events continue daily through March 12.
Hmmm, six events in seven days. That might be a personal record of some kind. And I didn't even mention the pancake breakfast at Oregon Ridge or the ravioli and spaghetti dinner at St. Leo's Church in Baltimore's Little Italy . . . seven, eight! But, who's counting? It will be hard to top that week! Nevertheless, onward to coming events.
As mentioned last week in The Wednesday Feature, Robin Bullock will appear tonight at An Die Musik LIVE. Tickets were still available when I called this morning ($15). Also, the American Piano Festival continues tonight at University of Maryland with American Piano: Copland, the Piano and Politics (FREE).
Looking ahead to St. Patrick's Day, Friday March 17, I have 4 picks so far:
Originally, I was planning to see Iona at the Cellar Stage, then I found out that Del McCoury will be in Towson at the Recher Theater. I am considering it. Del and his band are great but The Recher is a "stand up" venue. Fatty Billy prefers to sit! Also, the 17th happens to be the 3rd Friday of the month and we all know what that means, right? Blue Daze at the Friendly Inn, of course. And finally, this one is looking like my top pick even though it is a very long drive for me. Dry Branch Fire Squad will appear at Cherrydale United Methodist Church, 3701 Lorcom Lane, Arlington VA 22207, (703) 527-2621, 7:30pm (General Admission, doors open 6:30) $20 Benefit for Missions and Out Reach Ministries
