Here it is folks: spring. Many of you have probably noticed an increase in the number of neighbor visits, extended dog walk chats, and outings with friends that go along with the more reasonable weather and longer days. There may be less of a sense of desperation when planning your weekend calendar, but Madison continues to offer great activities for everyone.
For the Family
Saturday (2:30 & 7 pm) and Sunday (2:30 pm), March 12-13. Through March 26 Overture Center’s Playhouse
There’s no way not to be surprised, delighted and just plain entertained by a stage production of this universally loved story. CTM hosts its magical production of The Wizard of Oz in the Overture Center Playhouse this weekend. There’s no place like home.
For the Swedes
Mar 18, 2016 to Mar 20, 2016 Folklore Village, Dodgeville
German polka may be Wisconsin’s most well-known folk musical style, but it is by no means the only one. This weekend visit Folklore Village in Dodgeville to experience the joy and delight of Slängpolska at the Spring Swedish Music & Slängpolska Weekend. You can bunk out or tent it on site to enjoy the nightly dance parties.
For The Pickers
Saturday, March 19, Stoughton Opera House, 7:30 pm
Count This Penny returns to Madison from Tennessee to reunite local music lovers with their special brand of “country and mountain soul.” Any performance at the Stoughton Opera House is a treat, doubly so when the artists are as talented and soulful as this charming duo.
