2023 Shakespeare on the Common: Macbeth

Posted on May 16, 2023 | Leave a comment
Photo from CSC website

CSC Presents Macbeth on the Boston Common
July 19 – August 6, 2023
All performances are free and open to the public

One of my favorite summer traditions in Boston is attending one of the free performances by the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company (CSC) on the Boston Common. 

I understand that Shakespeare can be difficult to read, but the CSC productions are always fun to watch and a great way to enjoy an evening outdoors with friends or as a date with someone special. Macbeth is one of Shakespeare’s better-known tragedies, but if you’re unsure what the story is about visit the CSC website for a brief overview.

While the performances remain free, due to the popularity of these performances, advanced registration is strongly recommended for ease of arrival and priority access to seating. You can bring your own blankets and chairs, but you can also rent chairs online in advance or on-site for $10. All shows start at 8PM with the exception of August 5th which starts at 6PM.

For more information about the programming or the CSC, visit the Commonwealth Shakespeare Co. website.

Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series returns to Boston this June

Posted on May 3, 2023 | 1 comment

The Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series will come to Boston next month on Saturday, June 3, 2023. This annual tour first came to Boston in 2011 and this will mark the fifth time the competition has brough some of the world’s best cliff divers to the city. The backdrop of Boston’s skyline and harbor makes for some impressive photos and draws huge crowds to the Seaport each year.

Boston lacks cliffs (we barely even have hills) so Red Bull turns the Institute of Contemporary Art into a 90′ diving platform. If you’ve never been, mark this date on your calendar and check it out. The best views are from Pier 4, but the largest crowds will congregate on Fan Pier.

Below is a video I created after going to the first competition in 2011.
