Entertainment

Now through Fall, outdoors is the place to be when the weather is right.  Why not create a playful environment in your own yard?  There are plenty of ways to transform your back yard into the go-to destination for the neighborhood and have your children begging to go play outside.  Of course there's the usual swing set, or basketball hoop, but there are plenty of other ways to keep kids and adults entertained in the yard!

We were fortunate enough to catch Magic Dave performing in Gloucester at Gloucester Uechi Karate Academy recently and were completely entertained! He mixed the perfect balance of comedy and magic with a pinch of group hypnotism to create and hour long show that kept the kids entertained and engaged as audience members.

On Friday, June 22, 2012, visitors to the Museum of Science, Boston will experience a rock-and-roll journey through space and time, with the premiere of Ghosts of Jupiter: Music Experience. Celebrating the release of their self-titled album, Ghosts of Jupiter, the Boston-bred rock quintet has partnered with the Museum to create a new eye-popping music entertainment show in the Charles Hayden Planetarium that will take museumgoers on a fantastic ride into the outer reaches of the mind.

I heard a story about this on NPR yesterday.  Apparently, Syracuse (NY) area choral groups combined in a "flash mob" to sing the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah Wednesday night in honor of the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra's 50th anniversary.
