Thu & Fri #CIRCUS x ART One woman show by an ESH instructor, 6-9pm $37 but pay-what-you-can tixx avail - MOM* at the Armory in #SomervilleMA ”MOM* shines a light on the inner thoughts that we have as potential mothers, stepmothers, bio-moms, and children of mothers. What did we expect things to feel like, and how do they actually feel? Shir Livne shares her truths in this tour de force solo performance, presenting her absurdist take on motherhood through circus, storytelling, and pages upon pages of fiery teenage journals.” https://artsatthearmory.org/events/mom-2/

Thu-Sat #HEAVY $22+ "Somergloom is an underground heavy music and arts festival based in Somerville, Massachusetts in the Greater Boston area. Unencumbered by genre, Somergloom showcases and celebrates the richness of today’s heavy music scene, centered around music that is introspective, creatively ambitious, evoking a melancholic quality that we like to call “gloom”.

Since its inception in 2021, Somergloom has grown into a multi-day event featuring a diverse range of artists from both New England and beyond. In 2025, we celebrate our fifth year at #DeepCuts in #MedfordMA and #CrystalBallroom in #SomervilleMA, with performances by #SUMAC, #BodyVoid, #TheKeening, #Morne, #Chepang, and many more from #GreaterBoston, #NewEngland and the #Northeast US.” https://somergloom.com

#BostonWeekend 29/x EDIT jk, i went here, instead! I've got guests in town this weekend & this is extremely my jam, but not theirs, please go, its weird theatre, near home, and free:

Sun #THEATRE: #AncientGreece x #Hitchcock x #60sRock - “Attack of the Byrds! a verse play by Gary Duehr adapted from “The Birds” by Aristophanes, will be presented as a reading on Sunday, August 10, from 3-4:30.
The reading is free and open to the public. The reading features original songs by Jane Burgess Harcourt, sung by Suzanne Boucher and accompanied by Peter Hoffman on guitar. This version mashes up the classic #Greek comedy with “The #Birds” by Hitchcock and songs inspired by the ’60s band the #Byrds. In rhymed #tetrameter couplets, the brisk verse punches up its wordplay. This adaptation uses the masks and puppets of a traveling theater troupe to tell the fantasy infused with political satire.” https://artsathearmory.org/events/attack-of-the-byrds/ #Aristophanes #AncientGreek #ClassicalStudies #Comedy #BostonTheatre #TheBirds #TheByrds
