Colin McEnroe Show: The Creativity Of Two Unmistakable Voices

There is, of course, nothing to do in Connecticut in the summer, except that tonight, for example, I face a hard choice between one of today's guests, Meklit Hadero, at Real Art Ways or the soulful and talented singer Liam O Maonlai of the Hothouse flowers at 41 Bridge Street in Collinsville.

On Thursday the fabulously talented Hartford artist Barbara Hocker opens a show at 100 Pearl Street in Hartford. Down in Middletown, ArtFarm, one of several Connecticut outdoor Shakespeare troupes, has a high speed mashup osf the bard's comedies up and running.

We'll tell you more about that next week, but that could be your Friday. And "Showboat" at the Goodspeed just could be Saturday. You, of course, can't forget about the Sunken Garden Poetry Festival in Farmington, which is just in mid-stride right now, so that could eat up a couple more of your Wednesdays.  

Anyway, you see my point.

The arts in Connecticut could keep you so busy you'll never have time for an evening bike ride or a viewing of Captain America.
