A 27-foot doll made out of hot tub covers is just one of many wonders you’ll discover at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art’s spring exhibition. From 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday, take in six new shows and one that’s been extended – Nancy Thorne Chambers’ life-size ceramic village, “A Story Place,” featuring a friendly raccoon, a hare, a bear – all impeccably dressed and immersed in a little girl’s story.
The Weather Machine delivers hard-hitting, theatrical rock, along the lines of Paul McCartney and the Kinks, according to the Portland Mercury. Their show at Rolling Bay Hall begins at 8 p.m. and also features Capitol Hill act Moon Dial, full of heady lyrics and jazzy meanderings. $12 tix here.
“Young@Heart” is not some cheesy senior empowerment movie, although it is a documentary. But not the kind that makes you fall asleep. These octogenarians howl, croon, shriek and swagger just like Mick Jagger and the other rockers they cover for their New England choir. They even make the inmates cry when they perform at a local prison. Free snacks and screening are 1 p.m. Sunday at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, courtesy of Island Volunteer Caregivers.
