We’re looking at some good, sunny days Friday and Saturday, with rain on Sunday, so we’ve got a number of outdoor and indoor events in mind for that. The name of the game this weekend is comedy: whether it’s a magical comedy in the Camden amphitheater, a stand-up routine at the Camden Opera House, or the oddball humor of a lady who makes things out of moose poop for a living. Check it out!
Fantastical Comedy “Aquitania” in Camden’s Amphitheater
Friday, July 23—Camden
![]() |
If you like music, magick, and mystery, the Camden Shakespeare Festival is bringing the play, “Aquitania” to the Camden Amphitheatre this summer. Here’s the gist: “A librarian is transported to a strange country where she matches wits with a bowler-hatted villain. Magic cake and an ancient board game hold the secrets as our heroine adopts a new kind of logic to save the day. A trio of beautiful sirens add to the enchantment with a score of jazzy French songs.” If it rains, the performance will be in the St. Thomas Episcopal Church. FMI: Tickets
