What to do this week: April 16 – 22

It seems to me as if there is a ridiculous amount of activities happening in and around Boston this week starting with the world’s longest running Boston Marathon on Monday.

There are also some really wonderful fundraisers happening this week including 5th Annual 2018 Stoli Key West Cocktail Classic on Thursday, A celebration of life remembering Clifton Mueller (benefiting the Samaritans) and Bases & Faces (Drag Race Contest) (benefiting BAGLY) – both happening on Saturday and finally 2018 Dinnerfest RED Party + Auction (benefiting Victory Programs) on Sunday.

In addition, I’d like to give shout outs to The Women Who Mapped The Stars from Central Square Theater and Top Girls from The Huntington Theater which have opening nights on Thursday and Friday respectively.
