From Abigail Adams, to grandmothers, to the brains that made breakthroughs in science, we’re marking Women’s History Month with the monuments and murals in Boston memorializing women. Julia Swanson of the Art Walk Project leads the way. From there, is A Midsummer Night’s Dream the perfect Shakespeare starter play? With a romantic tangle, an enchanted forest ruled by fairies, a Donkey and late night cavorting, it could be. Director Victoria Townsend of Commonwealth Shakespeare Company joins us to preview an upcoming production of Shakespeare’s comedy that’s staged with local students in mind. Finally, with Daylight saving time on the horizon that’s one way of ringing in spring. For The Koji Club–Boston’s first dedicated Sake Bar–their Cherry Blossom Disco signifies the seasonal shift. The Koji Club’s Alyssa Mikiko DiPasquale joins us for a preview.
