What we’re about
This is a group for people who like to experience the arts. Music, theater, dance and more. Food and drink may sometimes be involved. Most events will be in the Greater Boston area. All ages are welcome!
Please read each event description carefully. Most events are "buy-your-own-ticket" but I may sometimes be able to get a group rate. Looking forward to enjoying lots of performances with you.

See all- Weekend in the Berkshires!Tanglewood, Lenox, MA
NEW! Our Tanglewood weekend is almost here. The weather looks good. I plan to pretty much stick to the itinerary posted below.
I usually get to the Tanglewood grounds about 2 hours before the concert. I bring wine, food, a chair, a blanket, a book and relax. PLEASE text me (720-273-3594) your phone number so I can let you know where I am sitting. I strongly suggest the Lion's Gate Parking lot.
For Jacob's pillow, I also like to get there early and have a glass of wine and enjoy the space. I usually do not eat there, but get something beforehand.
Saturday during the day I hope to find a lake with a kayak launch! Too hot to hike (at least for me!)
Sunday morning, I hope we can all meet for brunch - place TBD. We'll want to get to the Tanglewood lawn early because YoYo Ma is very popular.

SAINT-SAËNS Cello Concerto No. 1
MENDELSSOHN Symphony No. 3, ScottishTicket sales for Jacob’s Pillow are open. I am in Level 4 - Orc Rear Seat Location: Row V Seat 5. This is considered an “accessible seat” which I can use because I use a walking stick for balance. Another member has purchased the “companion seat.” From experience, the seats in the mezzanine have better sight-lines than the orchestra. (They’re cheaper, too.) Link is below!
Once you are committed to going (you’ve reserved accommodation, bought a ticket, etc) let me know and I will move you off the waiting list.
The AirBnB where I am staying (25 Houstonic St in Lee) appears to be full, but if you click HERE you will see that there are still many places on AirBnB available nearby. This is high season in the Berkshires, so rooms go quickly and are at a premium.
There are also several hotels/motels in the area. And October Mountain State Forest is only a 10 minute drive from Tanglewood. Click HERE to reserve a campsite or yurt. (Heads up - the yurts are NOT in great shape!)
If you would like to arrange car-pooling or share a room or campsite, I suggest you comment here with your contact information and what you are looking for, and then communicate with each other off of MeetUp.
