“What’s
Happening”
3,
4, Friday and Saturday, Mass Appeal at Peterborough Players
- Father Tim
Farley, a popular, gregarious priest of a prosperous Catholic congregation, has
his well-ordered world turned upside down by the arrival of Mark Dolan, a
fiery, idealistic young seminarian. Mark challenges both Fr. Farley’s humorous
sermons and some long held traditions of the Church leading to a conflict that
raises difficult questions for both men: What is the price of honesty? How far
do ends justify means? A close and oftentimes comedic friendship develops
between the two, and when Mark faces a personal crisis at the seminary, Father
Farley is forced to make a choice that will forever alter both their futures. “A tender comedy about the meaning and
power of both secular and religious love.” -The New York Times, Friday, 7:30,
Sat., 2:00 and 7:30, 603-924-7585, www.peterboroughplayers.org.

Saturday, - The David Bromberg Quintet at The Bull Run Restaurant - “The
reason man created stringed instruments. David touched them with a lover’s fingers
and they moaned that true love right back at him. Wood and wire and flesh
spoke.” - Jerry Jeff Walker on David Bromberg -
If
you have never attended a David Bromberg concert, you're in for an
unforgettable experience! He is one of the most engaging, indeed mesmerizing,
of performers. The guitar virtuoso, bandleader and former session man and his
band of masterful musicians will enthrall you with an eclectic mix of blues,
country, jazz and folk that is impossible to classify. His eponymous 1971 debut
included “The Holdup,” a songwriting collaboration with former Beatle George Harrison, who also played slide
guitar on the track. David also met the Grateful Dead and wound up with four of their
members playing on his next two albums. David has spent his life absorbing
music from its surviving creators and their recordings so convincingly, while
adding his own instrumental twists, that he has become a part of music
tradition itself, as close to the source of American roots music as anyone
alive. Folk, blues, bluegrass, ragtime, rock, jazz, you name it – he has become
The Real Deal. www.bullrunrestaurant.com.
