Cambridge summers are about to become more vibrant with a host of activities for all ages. Cambridge Plays, a program of the Community Development Department, is offering an array of outdoor events that are as diverse as the city's residents themselves. These events, designed for every member of the community, will run from May through August, and they invite people to craft, dance, sing, explore, and learn in the city's parks and plazas.
With local businesses, artists, and organizations playing host, the series is shaping up to be a joyous assembly of creative and physical pursuits. Running free and open to the public, participants chanting barbershop harmonies may hone their vocal skills, or refresh their wardrobes in a community dye bath - turning old clothes into new treasures. Also on the list, reported by an article on the city's official website, are tai chi sessions, dance classes to get the heart rate up, and the chance to delve into the history of East Cambridge.
Sarah Jane Huber, contact person for Cambridge Plays, is likely brimming with enthusiasm as the summer lineup promises to add to the city's dynamism. From live musical performances that promise to enchant, to yoga sessions aimed at bolstering strength and focus, the city's effort to enrich cultural access and foster a sense of community is palpable. The event schedule details can be found on the city's site, and though hosting applications for the ongoing summer are now closed, interested parties have the option to apply next spring for future events.
Cambridge Plays operates with a philosophy of inclusivity and believes in the power of cultural programming to energize commercial areas and unite neighborhoods. So, if you're in Cambridge this summer and looking to make your own postcards or learn how to cover up old stains with a splash of color, you won't need to look far.
