The Weekend: 3.26-3.-28

So much going on this weekend, we wish we could be in two places at once! Here's a look at what's happening in a neighborhood near you.

Weekend

Opera: BAM's opera festival continues with performances of the semi-opera "The Fairy Queen" in Fort Greene. Not to be missed.

Goodbye: It's the last few days of "A Life in Three Acts" at St. Ann's Warehouse in DUMBO. Also not to be missed. As our sister publication, the Brooklyn Paper says, "someone without even a passing interest in drag and the history of gay culture in London and New York should still consider checking out “Three Acts,” because by its conclusion, many will find themselves wishing that this drag-queen/raconteur had more time to share a few more saucy tales."

Saturday, March 27

He's got the beat: The Beat poets really dug Walt Whitman. Learn all about it this weekend at St. Francis College.

Music: The Grates ramp up the fun at Brooklyn Bowl in Williamsburg tonight. And tickets are only $5!

Eats: Grillin on the Bay brings backyard grillers and big names in the business to Sheepshead Bay. Come hungry.

Sunday, March 28

Back in business: It must be spring, because the Cyclone reopens today. Stick around for the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus's Cavalcade of Youth. They'll be juggling, acrobatics and more. At 4 pm. Tickets $15, $10 kids. At Sideshows by the Seashore (1208 Surf Ave. at W. 12th Street).

Brunch: Love brunch? Love food cook-offs? Then head to the Bell House for the Brooklyn Brunch Experiment, where the two combine for a culinary competition hosted by Theo Peck and Nick Suarez. Waffles, quiche, fried chicken and hollandaise sauce are all on the menu. Tickets $20 in advance, $25 at the door. At noon. Located at 149 Seventh St. between Second and Third avenues in Gowanus.
