The circus is in town! It’s too late to catch the raising of the tent, always so fun, but it’s not too late to take the family to Circus Smirkus at the Gore Estate this weekend. For those inclined to put their heads in their books on summer vacations, check out the Authors in Conversation talk with two Watertown writers, Dewitt Henry and Eileen Pollack, both very accomplished. At the Mosesian, there’s an intriguing theater production, taking us back to the days of radio theater, with old and new audio dramas. Last, but not least, there’s a techno DJ dance at Conley’s on Friday night. I had just been thinking that Watertown needed some more action in the later hours of the night. Get your rave outfit out and hit the dance floor after a long week of work.
