Speaking of summer, I know many of my readers enjoy heading to Provincetown each year.  So, let me clue you in on some of the performers who are booked.  Since the Crown & Anchor got the jump on everyone, it’s a good place to start.  After all, the venerable complex truly wears the crown when it comes to Ptown – and entertainment is no different.  People like Lisa Lampanelli, Sandra Bernhard, Fran Drescher, Margaret Cho, Leslie Jordan, Lorna Luft, Linda Lavin, Lucie Arnaz Jr will be headlining.  Seasonal performers like Thirsty Burlington, Pam Ann, and Dina Martina make the Crown sizzle all summer long.  Calendar and tickets can be found on OnlyAtTheCrown.com.

After some concerns last summer, the Provincetown Art House is back for another season.  Their headliners include Auntie Marilyn Maye, Seth Rudetsky, Jessie Mueller, Gavin Creel, Liz Callaway, Faith Prince, and Michael Cerveris, plus a special show by Debra Messing and Kathy Najimy – proving once and for all that they are not the same person.  Well-Strung is only there for a week, but resident performers include Judy Gold, Miss Conception, and Varla Jean Merman.  Oh, and Steve Grand’s show is provocatively titled From Top to Bottom.  Let’s hope Mr. Grand finally shows us a bit of versatility this season.  Tix and deets at PtownArtHouse.com.
