Later this week there are two events happening that could use your support and are a lot of fun to attend. The first event is on Thursday at Venu Boston and called DUDE ‘N’ DRAG D-SQUARED. The program includes FLAG Flag Football fundraiser to benefit the league’s tournament teams.
The next evening Boston’s Ironsides Rugby club is hosting their fundraiser at Club Cafe on Friday starting at 7PM. I’ve attended this event a few times in the past and enjoy watching these (many for the first time) try their hand at lip syncing in heels. More information is available online at the Boston Ironsides Lip-Sync Competition Facebook page.
Many of Boston’s local theater companies seasons will be concluding in the next few weeks so I wanted to encourage you to get tickets to one or more of the following local productions. Boston’s local theater scene continues to mature and get better but this doesn’t happen in a vacuum and local support is crucial.
