Get Out: Plays, Parades and One-Man Performances

It’s Thursday, and you’ve got no idea what you’ll do for the weekend.

Scarsdale Patch is coming to the rescue. We’ve got the best bets for your done-work-outta-here time. Check our picks for the activities to hit and new bars/restaurants/shops to explore.

1.

Where: Scarsdale Congregational Church School, 1 Heathcote Road

When: Saturday, March 12, 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.

Why Go: Gently used clothing will be sold for bargain prices. And we’re not just talking about skuzzy sneakers and old fleece pullovers, either. We once heard a rumor that someone scored a pair of unworn Ferragamo loafers at one of these local tag sales!

Pricing: Free!

2.

Where: Mamaroneck Avenue & Old Mamaroneck Road, White Plains

When: Saturday, March12, 12 p.m.

Why Go: A full parade procession, resplendent with 25 bands, six floats and the requisite kilt-wearing bagpipers, will march down Old Mamaroneck Avenue. Hit a nearby restaurant afterwards for some Irish-inspired culinary creations – and perhaps a pint, too.

Pricing: Free!

3.

Where: Purchase College SUNY, 735 Anderson Hill Road, Purchase (Performing Arts Center)

When: Friday, March 11 – Saturday, March 12, 8 p.m., Sunday, March 13, 2 p.m.

Why Go: This English play satirizing English art dealers in the 1990s serves as equal parts social commentary and entertainment.

Pricing: $20

4.

Where: Westchester Community College, SUNY 75 Grasslands Rd, Valhalla

When: Sunday, March 13, 3 p.m.

Why Go: Actor John Chappell has studied Mark Twain’s mannerisms, works and sayings to the extent that his reenactment brings an eerily-accurate portrayal of the 19th century curmudgeon to life.
