Oh! You all like to vote in the #BostonWeekend polls, and I enjoy knowing whether any people read these threads, so, I present to the #BostonWeekend (7/x) crowd this week's wholly pointless straw poll:

How many holes does a #straw have?

This weekend and next in #CambridgeMA:

North Cambridge Family Opera presents "Kids Court"!

familyopera.org/

Kids Court is a rollicking farce in which Hansel and Gretel sue their stepmother for abandonment on reality court TV.

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 29-30 and April 5-6, at the Andrew Peabody School, 70 Rindge Avenue, North Cambridge.

New here? Every week I scour listings, feeds, and emails - and bring you the best of the best of the weekend's events in #Boston . I live in #somervilleMA, so what I highlight skews local to me, but I'll include anything in #NewEngland if its worth the trip.

If my thread is useful, help share the word - boost and like the events that you think are cool - and when you're talking up the Fediverse to your pals, consider mentioning that we do projects like this one here, because your neighbors deserve nice things.
