Five Things You May Do in Ridgefield This Weekend (It's Next Door)

Here are five great options for weekend entertainment in Ridgefield this weekend.

The Ridgefield Playhouse in Ridgefield, CT is proud to present comedian Paula Poundstone in concert Friday. Twenty-five years ago Paula Poundstone climbed on a Greyhound bus and traveled across the country -- stopping in at open mic nights at comedy clubs as she went.  A high school drop-out, she went on to become one of the great humorists of our time.

On September 6, the Ridgefield Theater Barn opened its 2013-2014 Season with this bracing and critically acclaimed play.  August: Osage County is a portrait of the dysfunctional American family at its finest—and absolute worst. When the patriarch of the Weston clan disappears one hot summer night, the family reunites at the Oklahoma homestead, where long-held secrets are unflinchingly and uproariously revealed. It will be performed again Saturday evening.

Since 1974, the Ridgefield Guild of Artists has offered members and non-members alike the chance to have their art work judged on-site by a highly-qualified juror. RGA’s Annual Juried Show provides a venue for both established and emerging artists. It is a jewel in the crown of events that the Guild offers each year, and our beautiful galleries brim with works of all sizes, shapes and colors. The reception takes place from 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday.

Every year to celebrate its anniversary, Cellar XV picks a charity and hosts an incredible wine tasting in support of that charity. 'It's our way of saying thank-you to the community for supporting us!', says owner Doug Thompson. 'And this year it is our privilege to support another Ridgefielder, Maureen Lutz, and her charity- Necessities Bag!' Cellar XV's 11th Anniversary 'Cheers to Charity for Necessities Bag' will be held Saturday from 5 to 7:30 pm under the big pink tents in front of their store at 88 Danbury Road, Ridgefield!

The Ridgefield Symphony Orchestra opens its season at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Ridgefield High School. A standard violin repertoire piece and one of the best symphonies ever written—Beethoven's Symphony No. 7—will be played. The concerto is Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No. 2 with soloist Jennifer Frautschi, and the evening begins with Kodály's Dances of Galanta.  The brilliantly programmed concert focuses on rhythmic effects.
