Preschool Pasta Preview
Giordano’s may still be closed for the off-season but for those who can’t wait until the official opening, Gio’s will be serving a spaghetti dinner to benefit Grace Preschool.
The dinner is on March 31 at Grace Church located on Woodlawn avenue in Vineyard Haven. Dinner can be sitdown beginning at 5 p.m. or takeout beginning at 4:30 p.m.
Consistency, dedicated workers, quality product and a good value are required to make a restaurant work. But for restaurant owner J.B. Blau it all comes back to putting the customer on the pedestal, and on the Vineyard, that means putting the year-round population first.
Bee School
Bee School is back for the second year. The Island Grown Initiative’s intensive eight-hour course on beekeeping with Everett Zurlinden takes place Saturday, March 24 from 4 to 8 p.m. and Sunday, March 25 from 1 to 4 p.m. at Island Cohousing in West Tisbury.
Jemima James and Friends
On Saturday, March 24, beginning at 8 p.m., the Pit Stop is hosting an evening with Jemima James and friends. For those still out of tune, the Pit Stop is a new music venue that took root this winter on Dukes County avenue in Oak Bluffs. The space is not a bar, but rather a gathering place and as such all ages are welcome to enjoy the show.
Performing with Ms. James will be Dan Waters, Nina Violet, Tauras Biskis, and an untold number of surprise guests.
Charter School Play
Next weekend, March 30 and 31, the Martha’s Vineyard Public Charter School will present its annual theater production. This year they take on Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, a play with essentially four plots in one: a royal wedding, prank-playing fairies, a love quadrangle and workmen trying to put on a play. Something for everyone indeed.
The Work of Stan Murphy
Stan Murphy’s art on the Vineyard really needs no introduction. His images have become iconic; think Moshup emerging from the waters off of the Aquinnah Cliffs, and his portraits of Islanders, including himself.
