How we can entertain ourselves this summer is becoming clearer, as two more Cape Cod theaters, music festivals in Orleans and Provincetown, and a Martha s Vineyard book festival are among the latest groups releasing their plans for the season.
And this entertainment is all live, all in person. (Remember when that wasn’t even a question?) Some of the events are indoors, most outdoors. Take a look:
Provincetown Theater
Provincetown Theater patrons will spend late June through September outdoors, in the new “Playhouse in the Parking Lot.”
The season brings the theater alive after a 16-month hiatus, using a stage being set up in a fenced, park-inspired setting outside the 238 Bradford St. theater. The shows there will include two Cape Cod premieres and one American classic.

Hope is our superpower, said Bryan Stevenson in his rousing address last week to the Howard University Classes of 2020 and 2021. Stevenson, the social justice activist and founder of The Equal Justice Initiative, will expand on this powerful message through music and words as he joins the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis in the multi-disciplinary concert event, Freedom, Justice, and Hope with Bryan Stevenson. Presented by Jazz at Lincoln Center in collaboration with Bryan Stevenson, Freedom, Justice, and Hope will feature the world-renowned orchestra debuting new works from emerging composers Endea Owens and Josh Evans.

The 2021-22 UMS season will include a variety of in-person performances, as well as digital content, according to its president, Matthew VanBesien. The season will include a number of new “commissioned” performances, and the UMS president says the live performances will begin later than they usually do in a typical season.
The first in-person event will be the Big Band Holidays with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra on Sunday, November 28 in Hill Auditorium. VanBesien says they are taking many precautions to make sure people attending in person events are protected and comfortable.
