No, I’m not mixing metaphors. Starting July 13th, Outside The Box, a nine-day arts and concert series on the Boston Common (and other parts of Boston) will take place. However, things are still under construction for now:

By the way, July 20th at 6pm, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones are playing. Just wanted to point that out.

And Shakespeare on the Common is presenting Two Gentlemen from Verona most nights at 8. It’s nicely done and lots of fun (incorporating lots of Rat-Pack music and other fancies).
