Your Weekend Entertainment, October 16-18
October 16, 2009
We have a couple high-profile events happening on Lake Street for only this one weekend. First is In the Heart of the Beast Theatre, which is hosting a double feature of two nationally recognized puppeteers. Janaki Ranpura performs Lovesick Sea Play, an innovative story of love in the world of 18th century Atlantic piracy. Bart Buch presents Ode to Walt Whitman, a multi-media puppetry performance that uncovers an unspoken dialogue between Whitman’s Leaves of Grass poems and Federico Garcia Lorca’s Ode to Walt Whitman. The shows are at 7:30 PM Friday & Saturday, 2:00 PM on Sunday. Tickets available online.
And at Midtown Global Market, it’s the 2nd Annual Cheese & Apple Festival on Saturday. The theme will center around locally grown products with about a dozen different local apple and cheese varieties, cooking demonstrations and kids’ activities. Come for lunch, get ideas for your holiday get togethers, learn something new at a cooking demo and listen to some great live music! It will be a day of fun for the whole family as MGM brings the fun of a fall apple orchard tour to the urban environment.
Elsewhere, Magers & Quinn has a full weekend of events. Friday night, Thomas Larson discusses the “Age of Memoir†and his book, The Memoir and the Memoirist. On Saturday, Richard Ojakangas presents Roadside Geology of Minnesota, Beatrice Ojakangas discusses The Best Casserole Cookbook Ever, and Vermont educator Tal Birdsey discusses his book A Room for Learning: The Making of a School in Vermont. And Sunday, Paul Tough discusses his book Whatever It Takes: Geoffrey Canada’s Quest to Change Harlem and America.
Bryant Lake Bowl has a busy weekend too, with Master Works: The Goya Plays and “inspire” A Tribute to Michael Jackson on Friday Night, In the Weeds and Dragmanity on Saturday, and The Importance of Being Earnest on Sunday. And don’t forget Jungle Theater continuing their run of Mary’s Wedding and another fun Saturday morning at the Midtown Farmers’ Market!
