August 3
A North End Salute
, featuring Lirica Italiana and Adam Herbert: An evening of classic arias, favorite Neapolitan songs, and a tribute to Frank Sinatra.

August 10
Sarah Borges and the Broken Singles
:  A delightful meld of the high-lonesome vibe of classic country with the hardscrabble attitude of old-school alt-rock.

August 17
A Celtic Night with Laura Cortese
:  Welding the propulsive grace of ancient fiddle styles to disarmingly open-hearted original pop songs

August 24
Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged): 
A bawdy parody of the plays written by William Shakespeare with all of them being performed (in shortened form) during the show by only three actors.
