Plenty of theater goodies for the young ones. Adults will want to head to Heidi’s Jazz Club or Riverside Theatre for some adult entertainment or to area museums for provocative exhibits. BTW, no art sent to me this week, so I will pepper this post with photos from the BREAD AND PUPPET THEATRE, which I visited recently in Vermont.

This powerful exhibition features 36 quilts tackling subjects ranging from human conflict to natural disasters. Art quilts have long challenged the notion that quilting is a “comfortable” art form, and in keeping with this idea, Forced to Flee asked participating artists to address an important and timely subject – the global refugee crisis.” Call 321-674-8313 or visit the museum’s website.
