This Weekend in Mill Valley

You want drama? How about a wry, Tony Award-winning tale of lessons learned? Mill Valley has both this weekend and into September, as theater dominates the slate of local events. 

Into the Woods, the acclaimed Stephen Sondheim musical, gets a treatment from the Marin Youth Performers, 142 Throckmorton Theatre's youth division. Director Joan Deamer helms a production that features many of her former pupils. Go here for the full story, here for more info and here to see an excerpt from a preview show earlier this month.

Further up Throckmorton Ave., Curtain Theatre is going old school with "As You Like It," the Shakespeare play it performed in its first year as part of Mill Valley's millennium celebration in 2000. As always, the Curtain's shows are free and under the redwoods in the Old Mill amphitheater. Go here for more info.

Also on the docket is the Marin Conservation League's walk through Marin conservation history with a tour of the Marincello development, which was defeated in 1970. And if worm composting is more your thing, Tam Valley Community Center has you covered.
