Weekend Thirty

(Endlessly Repeating Twentieth Century Modernism by Josiah McElheny)

Porgy and Bess - A Study in Black and White at the University of Hartford kicked off the weekend.


No photos allowed, but it was a terrific one-time, free performance introduced with a very interesting history of the show by Doris Lang Kosloff.

On Friday we went to opening night of Stephen Sondheim's Company at Playhouse on Park.  Here are some photos from the West Hartford Patch:


"April" was played by Lea Nardi, a Hartt student who played "Catherine" in the Pippin production we saw.


We drove to Boston on Saturday morning.

First stop was the Museum of Fine Arts where we went to see the Degas and the Nude exhibition.  Here are a few shots from our visit:
