Things to do this weekend in the Boston area...
One of the best theaters on the North Shore is the Stoneham Theatre. They have a variety of theater productions to attract a diverse audience. Their current production is "Strangers on a Train" directed by Weylin Symes and starring Robert Serrell and Jonathan Popp. The Countess has a particular affection for Robert Serrell because I have enjoyed his many performances at the Berkshire Theatre Festival. He is getting rave reviews for his current role as Bruno, such as this one from the Boston Herald:
"Symes’ greatest asset in this production is Serrell. His Bruno is a shaky, cackling, dangerous ball of neuroses, a maniacal manipulator in the vein of Heath Ledger’s Joker. Serrell infuses his performance with equal parts charisma and desperation, and it’s continually fascinating to watch."

Strangers on a Train ends its run on May 24th so you still have time to catch a performance.
Next up for The Countess is the Women in Comedy Festival presented by Improv Boston at the ImprovBoston Theater in Cambridge. Two fabulous women that I adore have a wonderful show that they have developed over the years, "Two Girls for Five Bucks", and they will be giving workshops and a performance in the festival. You can check out my blog about their New York City Show here.

The Principessa and The Countess will be attending!
Then The Countess will be off to New York City to see "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson" at the Public Theater, another fun night at "Our Hit Parade" at Joe's Pub, and whatever else we can find to have fun, mischief, and cause a little mayhem during our travels!!
