Your weekend might kick off on Friday evening with a lively show at the Mosesian Center for the Arts, called Gimme Gimme. It is described as a sapphic ABBA disco spectacle, including burlesque, drag and aerial performances. Wake up on Saturday, have a relaxing morning and then head over to Artemis Yoga if you have a handy young person to do yoga play with. Their family yoga hour looks quite fun. Once well stretched out, check out the plant and seed swap on the library patio. Plant swaps are the best. You get plants for free, usually pesticide free, and you can learn so much about the plants from the fellow gardeners. Sunday evening there is a special fixed menu at Bar ‘Cino (actually every Sunday), and then a performance of the choral group called Sanctuary Boston back at the Mosesian. Start and end the week at the Mosesian. We are so lucky to have this arts center in our city!
