Proof of Heaven, Music on the Green, Shakespeare in the Park

Five things to know today, on Tuesday, August 13.

  1. The National Weather Service says there’s a chance of showers and thunderstorms, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 1pm. And it’ll be cloudy, with a high near 75. There’s a chance for rain until 11 p.m. tonight and a low temp of 61.
  2. If you’re up for a little jaunt, acclaimed neurosurgeon and author Dr. Eben Alexander will lead a discussion on his book “Proof of Heaven” tonight in at the Watch Hill Chapel at 6:30 p.m. The evening promises a “thought-provoking dialogue about afterlife and science” which will be followed by a reception at the Ocean House.

  3. Not today but next Sunday Donavon Frankenreiter is performing at the Jonathan Edward Winery. Frankenreiter’s music is described as “soft-bluesy” and “the laid back sounds and soulful crooning of this Hawaiian native are likened to his long time friend and collaborator Jack Johnson.”

  5. This is the last week you’ll be able to catch a free performance “The Taming of the Shrew” by the Colonial Theatre. They’ve been doing Shakespeare in the park all summer in Westerly’s Wilcox Park. Shows start at 8 p.m.
