There’s a huge drag show and a bunch of plays you can see this weekend. Let’s dive in.

Winter theater season is in full swing. You can see the Edward Albee play “A Delicate Balance” at Mad Horse Theatre (it’s fantastic, I went last weekend!). Or head to the Public Theatre in Lewiston for “Every Brilliant Thing,” a show that incorporates audience participation. We’ve got details about several other local productions as well.

Before we all start complaining about the summer tourists, get out there and take advantage of locals’ season. Columnist Leslie Bridgers offers up six ways to do just that, including beach walks without parking headaches and a day trip to Vinalhaven.

Another wintertime perk is the many restaurants that offer cozy outdoor seating. Make a plan to hit one of them, like Yosaku and Harbor Bistro + Terrace in Portland. You can also reserve a ski gondola with heaters and pillows at The Burleigh at the Kennebunkport Inn.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
