At Blu Dot in Boston, this hands-on pottery workshop invites participants to unplug and craft a custom planter or vase, and no experience is required. An experienced host teaches foundational hand-building techniques such as pinch and coil methods, then shows how to turn them into functional pieces like vases, planters, mugs, or bowls. Personalize your creation with details like handles, textures, footed bases, or playful faces. All materials and tools are provided. The atmosphere is relaxed and beginner friendly, welcoming first timers, solo attendees, and groups. Participants leave with a handmade piece that reflects their style. A ceramic finishing upgrade is available for an additional cost, allowing one selected item to be taken back to the studio for glazing and firing to make it waterproof and food safe, then shipped back when finished in about six to eight weeks. One add-on is required per piece upgraded. One dollar from every ticket supports mental health initiatives. Painting is not included in this workshop. A separate Pottery Painting Session is offered at the Pottery With a Purpose Studio in Needham, MA.

Presented at the Stadium Theatre Performing Arts Centre & Conservatory in Woonsocket, RI, this Marquee Room presentation shares the story of Jeff and Hunter, two writers who spot a new musical theater festival and face a three-week submission deadline. With friends Susan and Heidi, and Larry at the piano, they decide to build a show from the ground up. When the question of subject matter stalls them, they choose to write a musical about creating a musical, pledge to work right up to the cutoff, and imagine how the experience could change their lives. Across 90 minutes, their journey moves from blank page to festival stage, exploring creativity, collaboration, and the ties of friendship. Seating is limited in the Marquee Room. Mature content. Tickets are $36. The Stadium Theatre is not responsible for fulfillment or refunds on purchases made through third party websites.

Artist in Residence Everett McCorvey leads The Worcester Chorus, the WPI Festival Chorus, and a guest orchestra at The Hanover Theatre and Conservatory for the Performing Arts in a celebration of music by Duke Ellington and George Gershwin. The program highlights Gershwin with a choral version of Rhapsody in Blue, heard as You Are My Rhapsody in Blue arranged by Michael Fennelly, and with Porgy and Bess arranged for solo piano, orchestra, and chorus, presented as Robert Russell Bennett’s Porgy and Bess: A Symphonic Picture. Ellington’s final composition, Three Black Kings, pays tribute to Balthazar, Solomon, and Martin Luther King Jr., completed after the composer’s death by his son Mercer and orchestrated by Luther Henderson. Widely admired as pianist composers who influenced one another, Gershwin and Ellington drew on impressionist color, improvisation, and blues harmonies, and these landmark works mark pivotal chapters in American musical history.
