1 Women's Art Forum presents One Woman Show with
Humorist/Singer-songwriter, Bernadette Weimer 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm @ CAA
Building. Bernadette has been performing for 20 years in coffeehouses,
schools, clubs and festivals in the USA and overseas, and is NOT to be
missed. Her concerts are a celebration of life: one moment rollicking and
raucous, the next tender and poignant, you may need a tissue (and your
Depends). With her rich dynamic voice, mountain dulcimer and quick wit, she
comforts, tickles and even challenges her audiences to become part of a
circus of delight. Bernadette’s original songs range from soulful love
ballads to political satire to hysterical mini opera of her experiences with
internet dating. Bernadette is totally willing (and capable of) making an
idiot of herself for the benefit of all mankind. Everyone leaves holding
hands and determined to put an end to war, world hunger, clean up the
planet, love their neighbor (no matter how annoying) and then go out
dancing. A one woman surround sound, her CD “The Raven” and I has been a
huge success and a must have. A free program for women of and beyond the
Hopkinton community. For additional information or to reserve a seat

Artists' Reception will be held from 10-12 pm at the Ashland Recreation
Center on Rt 135. The Hopkinton Athletic Association is providing this

unique opportunity to step up onto the world's stage every Spring This
year, the 112th running was one for the ages; from the Symphony to the
unveiling of the George V. Brown statue, to the Torch Lighting on the
Common. The Boston Marathon Art & Design Competition reflects the
sentiments that we all feel from being a part of a grand and glorious
tradition that is ours alone.

15 One Act Play Festival 6:30 pm @ Hopkinton High School
Auditorium. Each year Hopkinton High School puts together a
One Act Play Festival. The One Act Play Festival is where students get to
show their talents both on stage and as directors. This year is a special
year because five of the eight plays in the “One Acts” are student written.
The five student written plays are: Art, by the Acting Two Class (Directed
by Michael Dwyer), Open Spaces by Ali McGhee (Directed by Christina Mitsock),
Erin and the Sleepwalker written and directed by Rachel Carmody, The Silence
written and directed by Cami Bravo, and Transitions written and directed by
Jessica Karner (Photo). In every One Act Play Festival the acting two class
shows off what they have learned throughout the year. This year the group
became interested in the structure of a good storyline and decided to write
their own play. The group has worked diligently on their play which attempts
to answer the question “what is art?” This was inspired by an installation
art project done by one of the art classes. Open Spaces started as a
creative writing assignment for McGhee. McGhee has always had an interest
for script writing and she took the assignment by storm. Mitsock enjoyed her
piece of writing so much that she requested to direct it at the festival.
