Young in Years, Old in Talent
Check out sibling rivalry at its most harmonic when Liz and Yvonne Kane take the stage on Wednesday, July 27 at 7 p.m. at the Katharine Cornell Theatre in Vineyard Haven.
The Kane sisters both play the fiddle and they play it extraordinarily well. They cut their chops with their grandfather, Jimmy Mullen, a local fiddle player from Letterfrack, Ireland. For the American equivalent, think of it as being schooled by his majesty Robert Johnson down at the crossroads.
Each week the folks at Cinema Circus show a series of short films on Wednesday evenings at the Chilmark Community Center. The films begin at 6 p.m. but at 5 p.m. the circus — complete with jugglers, face painters, stilt walkers, food and music — gets underway.
Bright Waters, Shining Tides: Reflections on a Lifetime of Fishing, paintings and essays by Kib Bramhall, Vineyard Stories, Edgartown, 2011. 96 pages. Hardcover, $29.95.

Improv Show for Kids

On Friday, July 29, you are about to find out as the campers present The Dreams and Nightmares Show at the Edgartown School.
