The entire history of performance art, from mead- hall folly to classical ballet, turns up in the rollicking “4 Play,” the Flying Karamazov Brothers’ latest show, now ensconced in a cave-like set made of cardboard boxes.
Danny Trejo feels like he’s been preparing to play the title character in “Machete” for over a decade — about as long as he’s been working with writer/director Robert Rodriguez. “Robert’s been training me for this movie since we did ‘Desperado,’” says Trejo, who’s appeared in eight of Rodriguez’s films. “He said, ‘Hey, you’re perfect for this character. That was 14 years ago. And so, you know, 14 years and 780,000 phone calls later — it was just like stepping into the guy.”

Drew Barrymore has had some duds for onscreen partners in romantic comedies — not that she’s about to name names. “The worst is when you’re kissing someone who is not a good kisser, and you’re trying to make it look good, and you feel like you’re just working on your own,” she says.

While you can certainly find a decent number of micro-brews on tap at the city’s better pubs, it’s safe to say you won’t see a selection like this anywhere else when the Massachusetts Brewers Guild holds the Mass Brewers Summerfest on Friday. The festival brings 80 local craft beers from more than 20 breweries all together in one place.Sally Snowman, Boston Light’s first woman lighthouse keeper, stands on Little Brewster’s dock dressed in colonial garb, waving as the UMass Boston boat lines up to deposit visitors for a tour. Despite her contrary surname, she is a perfect welcome to the experience.I didn’t spend much time at the Vinny Testa’s on Boylston, but I’m pretty sure that “Harvey Wallbangers everywhere!” isn’t something the bartenders said there too often. Bar manager Tom Mastricola isThe Friday night Pro-vincetown people and pooch parade is a colorful sight. This delightful weekend preamble down narrow Commercial Street is best spied from the aptly named Patio Grill’s curbside patio. With digits clasped around an icy mojito and a plate of succulent buffalo shrimp, two rhetorical questions arise: Why walk when you can sit and cuddle a mojito, and why chicken when shrimp is a whole other level of sauce-y delight?
