ARTFARM Perseveres

Once the sun is lower in the sky, the Grove at Middlesex Community College, 100 Training Hill, is much more comfortable than just about any other place in town.  Last night, I went to see "Shakespeare's Argument" - the acting was first-rate (kudos to Ken O'Brien, Annie DiMartino, Jesse Gabbard and thespian-director Marcella Trowbridge), the music highly effective and the steady breeze a gift from above. If you haven't gone yet and are scared by the high temperatures plus the oppressive humidity, be assured - you can find a shady spot to lay your blanket or set up your chair.
The entertainment begins at 6 p.m. with music and the play hits the ground running at 7 p.m. Tonight, it's singer-songwriter Nancy Tucker, Saturday, the jazz-funk of the BC3 (drummer Bill Carbone's Trio) and Sunday, the engaging troubadour Tom Callinan. Hie thee to the Grove - a splendid time awaits!

Yes! So glad I went last night -- the pre-show, the performance, and the marvelous breeze were all wonderful. Bravo!
