It’s daffodil time again.
The next two weeks will be the last opportunity for presale orders of the American Cancer Society’s daffodils, bouquets of 10 buds that open into huge yellow blossoms. Volunteers have reached workers in schools, banks, hotels, offices, town halls and stores throughout the Island and will return the last week to pick up their orders.
The Vineyard Playhouse once again presents Shakespeare for the Masses, tonight and tomorrow night, this time with a lively reading of Troilus and Cressida, one of the Bard’s lesser-known plays, a tragedy.

Tonight longtime Island musicians Rob and Dave Myers will reunite for a special concert at Che’s Lounge in Vineyard Haven.

The two brothers, who performed on the Island together in the early 1990s in the alternative pop punk band the Inskirts, will perform material from their individual catalogues, as well as from their work together.
