The following announcement was provided by Actors’ Shakespeare Project:

Prologue: A Season Kickoff Fundraiser to Support ASP’s Student Matinee Series will be held Tuesday, September 30, 6-9PM at the The Mosesian Center for the Arts in Watertown. Join us for an unforgettable evening of theater, community, and purpose as we rally to keep the magic of Shakespeare & classic works alive for Boston’s youth. “Prologue” will be a spirited fundraising celebration in support of ASP’s Student Matinee Series—a vital program that brings thousands of students into the world of live theater each year, many for the first or only time.This season, a significant funding shortfall – caused by the loss of an NEA grant on which ASP has relied for over a decade – threatens to silence these powerful student performances. But together, we can ensure the show goes on for young people across the city. Step into the story:

Sip cocktails and enjoy Shakespeare-inspired hors d’oeuvres in an immersive atmosphere.

You can start this beautiful summer weekend with a contemplative sound healing meditation on Friday evening at Mount Auburn Cemetery. It’s going to be cooler, though rain could interfere in that plan. If so, you might go instead to catch an entertaining radio mystery at the Mosesian that evening or on Saturday night. They promise hijinks and cocktails, a delicious combination! As a person who loves to share resources in our Facebook Buy Nothing group, the arts and crafts swap on Saturday afternoon at the library is a draw.
