"The Wednesday Feature" Vol. 2, No. 2

This week's The Wednesday Feature is pretty much a copy of last week's. It's early in the season and things are just getting under way with plenty of local theater openings this weekend.

I went to New York last Wednesday and saw The Lieutenant of Inishmore which closed on Sunday. Last night I went to College Park and saw Meet the Squonkers, an entertaining piece of performance art by the two founding members of Squonk Opera.

For the coming week, the Baltimore Museum of Art is always FREE on the first Thursday of the month. That's tomorrow! On Monday, Musicalia from Italy looks interesting.

Drop/Add: I'm dropping Madam's Organ and Tiffany Tavern from the list of Venues. Under Theaters, I am adding Mobtown Players, even though their web site is not yet updated for the new season. Pro Musica Rara and the Sundays at Three Chamber Music Series have been added to Highfalutin.
