Hi from The Cambridgeport School Arts Committee. It's that
random time of the week where I attempt to inspire you to add some arty fun to
your life. Please pass it on.
THIS AFTERNOON (PARENTS ONLY): Breaking Bad Creator
Vince Gilligan in Conversation with Drew Faust
In
2008, scriptwriter, producer, and director Vince Gilligan introduced TV
audiences to the character Walter White – a mild-mannered HS chemistry teacher
turned meth-cooking kingpin in the AMC series "Breaking Bad." He will
discuss the show's evolution and impact during a conversation moderated by
Harvard's President Faust today at 4pm in Farkas Hall (10-12 Holyoke St.). It's
free, but get there early. Doors open at 3:30. I can't make it, but tell me how
it was, because I watched all five seasons of the show this past week while
with the stomach flu.

The Hills are Alive
If
you've got a Sound of Music lover in your house, there is a performance at the
Footlight Club in JP this weekend, with matinees. The Sound of
Music, runs Fridays and Saturdays, March 29, April 5, 11 &
12 @ 8:00pm and March 30, April 5, 6, & 12 @ 2:00pm.
Home Depot is for the Birds
April 5th
is the first Saturday of the month, and that means kids can build projects for
free at Home Depot. This week it is a simple bird (squirrel?) feeder. Often
other projects are also offered. Sign up ahead.
CraftBoston
Friday through
Sunday, CraftBoston is at the Cyclorama (Boston Center for the Arts 539 Tremont
St., Boston)
This is perhaps
Boston's finest craft show. It is a juried, high end wonderland of jewelry,
clothing, furniture, and home décor. A good place for a Mother's Day, wedding,
or graduation present, or a present for yourself for making it through the
winter. The CraftBoston website usually offers a couple of dollars off of
admission, the code FULLER from the Fuller Craft Museum gives you a few dollars
off, and Living Social generally has a deal for two tickets. The best deal is
to go in with friends you will pass your ticket along to for a separate day, as CraftBoston
tickets are generally good for the entire weekend. I may go Friday. Let me know
if you want in on mine.
Friday, April 4,
10:00 am - 7:00 pm
Saturday, April 5,
10:00 am - 6:00 pm
Sunday, April 6,
11:00 am - 5:00 pm
Jazz at The Green Room
Also on
Saturday, for your older piano players, at 8pm at the Green Room on Bow St. in
Union Square, you can see pianist Harvey Diamond, one of our true local greats.
He will be with Jon Dreyer, a bassist and cellist. I don't believe there is an
age restriction for the Green Room, but it is a very small space. Advance
tickets are encouraged, affordable, and available here.
Free Symphony at the NEC
April
9, at 8pm, you can attend a free concert at the New England Conservatory'sJordan Hall. Paul Biss conducts the NEC Symphony in a program that features the American
premiere of a work by composer Jonas Tarm '16 (in photo), a student of John Mallia.
Beethoven: Coriolan Overture, Opus 62
Jonas Tarm:Headline
Hues: Concerto for Strings
Sibelius:Symphony No. 2 in D
major, Opus 43 NEC's FREE concerts do not require a ticket, unless
stated in concert listing.

first-served basis.
