Arts: Reminders & An Addition

Even with Wesleyan on Spring Break, there's much to do, see and hear this weekend. Here's a reminder of the lineup.

Vintage Players presents "The Torch-Bearers" tonight (7:30), Saturday (8 p.m.) and Sunday (3 p.m.) in the main auditorium/Social Hall of Congregation Adath Israel, 8 Broad Street. Refreshments will be served and laughter will be in abundant supply. For reservations, call 632-1067 or 346-1377.

Friday night at 7:30, Connecticut State Troubadour Lara Herscovitch (pictured) performs at The Buttonwood Tree. Joining her willbe pianist Noah Baerman. The 2 met recently at a benefit performance and had such a fun time, she invited the jazz pianist to add his intelligent phrasings to her highly personal music. Sounds like fun. Call 347-4957 for more information.

When Lara and Noah conclude, stroll over to Boney's Music Lounge and catch the fine jazz vocalist Giacomo Gates. His first set begins at 9 p.m.

Saturday: One Book, One Middletown begins its appreciation of Sara Gruen's "Water for Elephants" with a 3 p.m. performance by Oddfellows Playhouse Instant Circus troupe. The free event takes place in the ION Market space inside Main Street Market.

The addition to the list takes place Sunday from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. at Brew Bakers, 169 Main Street. Folk singer/guitarist Darrell Gagnon will play 2 sets and chances are good you'll get to sing along. Relax and enjoy the sounds.
