If you're looking for something to do this weekend, here's a few things happening around town:
- Cabaret at the Homewood Theatre, March 7-8: Homewood Theatre and The Michael J. and Mary Anne Freeman Cabaret Series are celebrating Cabaret Month in March. The first two entertainers include Carl Dean and Courtney Cook. Dean's cabaret show, "Reflections, Ruminations, Ramifications, and the Rest of It" is with us on March 7 at 7:30 p.m. This show promises to be a fun, thought provoking evening of music and storytelling.
