ASP’s production of “Midsummer’s Night Dream” begins its run at the Mosesian Center for the Arts this weekend. Let’s start this weekend laughing along with Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Mosesian on Friday night. Then Saturday morning, should you have a young one in tow, get in the spring frame of mind with an egg hunt at the Brigham House. Saturday and Sunday evening there are community Seders for the beginning of Passover, the Jewish holiday that celebrates freedom and justice. Sunday morning hop on your bike and head to City Hall for a group bike tour of the town’s YardArt. There is an incredible range of artistic displays in people’s front yards.
