Bow Market’s all-day Circus Extravaganza bounces from one kind of delight to another
Bow Market’s all-day Circus Extravaganza bounces from one kind of delight to another. Get ready – the circus is coming to town. Bow Market’s Circus Extravaganza will take over the Union Square centerpiece all day Saturday. And what is a circus without a sideshow? It was with that question in mind that burlesque artist Shari Caplan and comedian Kaitlin Buckley teamed up to present Circus Luminous, an after-hours variety show to captivate the adults after a day of all-ages fun. Yes, the event will feature comedy from Buckley as well as Boston Comedy Festival finalist Maria Palombi, but it will also feature burlesque, drag, music and poetry. It might seem like a stretch for those more accustomed to a traditional comedy show, but Buckley welcomes the challenge of bringing in those audience members skeptical of the format (more on this in “Circus Luminous Aims to Marry the Silly and the Sultry,” Aug. 22). After all, these art forms “grew up together” in the vaudeville era, so it feels fitting they’ll appear alongside one another again to “surprise, delight and entertain” folks on Bow Market’s second level.

Red Sox catcher to make history by playing for two teams in one game
When the Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays resume their suspended game on Monday, catcher Danny Jansen is going to make the type of history that seems almost impossible to make.Red Sox manager Alex Cora announced on Friday that Jansen is going to be behind the plate as the team's catcher in place of Reese McGuire. This is notable because when the game was originally started and suspended, Jansen was batting in the game... as a member of the Blue Jays. This means that on Monday Jansen will become the first player in Major League history to ever play for two different teams in the same official game.Jansen was traded from the Blue Jays to the Red Sox just before the MLB trade deadline at the end of July. The game, which was originally being played in June, was suspended in the top of the second inning and will be completed on Monday. Jansen has appeared in 13 games with the Red Sox since the trade, hitting .366 with a .794 OPS.Now he will have the chance to try and get them a win in a game where he started off trying to beat them.

The Boston Bruins are still without their star goaltender Jeremy Swayman signed as training camp approaches. Head coach Jim Montgomery has now commented. Jeremy Swayman's consistent elite performance as Linus Ullmark's backup, then 1B, and then 1A led the Boston bruins to trading the 2023 Vezina Trophy winner to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for a first round pick (which became 6 foot 7 centreman Dean Letourneau) and goaltender Joonas Korpisalo.
Springsteen Was the First Rocker to Play Boston’s Fenway Park
Boston's Fenway Park has seen its share of action in the 100-plus years it has been active. For my money, the 2004 American League Championship Series between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees that led to Boston's first World Series title in 86 years was about as exciting as it gets.
