This weekend and next in #CambridgeMA:

North Cambridge Family Opera presents "Weedpatch"!

http://www.familyopera.org/

🎵 We're Weedpatch! We blew in on a dust storm
Weedpatch! And we're here to stay
We may be broke, but we're not broken
No sir, no way! 🎵

An uplifting story from a slice of US history (based on true events), with music informed by American folk songs and a variety of mid-20th-century musical styles.

Performed entirely in song by a large intergenerational cast (dozens of local families -- including mine), with side-titles projected so you don't miss a word. Fun for all ages!

Eight performances, on March 21-22 and March 28-29, at the Andrew Peabody School, 70 Rindge Avenue, North Cambridge.

#Boston/#CambridgeMA community theater and music fans! Come see the North Cambridge Family Opera's production of Rain Dance, a timely fable about drought, dictators, and democracy (inspired by "The Hare Who Would Not Be King", Tish Farrell's adaptation of an Akamba folk tale).

"It's a wonderful story, couldn't be greater..." "No, it's all too familiar -- another orange-haired dictator!"

Rain Dance runs about 90 minutes long, and features a large intergenerational cast (including me and my kids), delightful music, and clever lyrics -- which are projected as side-titles, so you don't miss a word.

Four performances remain:
Sat 23 March @ 3pm & 7pm
Sun 24 March @ 1pm & 5pm

Presented at the Peabody School on Rindge Ave, Cambridge.

You can reserve a general-admission seat in advance by buying tickets ($7 for kids, $15 for adults). Or donate any amount at the door.

Hope to see you there!
