The Cabot and Off Cabot Announce Jam-Packed Week of Music, Movies, and Improv

BEVERLY, MA — Whether you are looking for cinematic nostalgia, genre-bending rock, or a trip to a "galaxy far, far away," downtown Beverly has you covered. The Cabot and its intimate sibling venue, Off Cabot Comedy & Events, have released their lineup for the week of April 27, featuring a diverse array of local talent and national touring acts.

Main Stage Magic at The Cabot

The historic Cabot Theatre kicks off the weekend on Friday, May 1, by transporting audiences back to 1986. A special 40th-anniversary screening of the coming-of-age classic Stand By Me will begin at 7:00 p.m.

On Saturday night, the energy shifts to high-concept rock with Pink Talking Fish. This "hybrid tribute" fusion act is known for seamlessly weaving together the catalogs of Pink Floyd, The Talking Heads, and Phish, creating a unique sonic experience for jam-band enthusiasts.

The weekend closes on a sophisticated note with Symphony by the Sea. On Sunday, May 3, the ensemble presents its season finale, "Sketches of Spain," starting at 3:00 p.m.

Comedy and Community at Off Cabot

Just around the corner, Off Cabot continues to serve as Beverly’s hub for improv and emerging talent. The week starts on Monday with "Search Your Feelings," a Star Wars–inspired improv workshop designed for "aspiring galactic knights."

Mid-week highlights include:

• Wednesday: A showcase of students from the Essex Improv Art of the Scene class.
• Thursday: The venue’s popular monthly Comedy Open Mic, where local comics test out new material.

The weekend at Off Cabot features a celebratory hometown performance by Froggy & The Friendship on Friday, followed by a Saturday night set from The Voice finalist Morgan Myles. The week wraps up with a touch of whimsy and flair as The Betsi Feathers present their newest burlesque production, "Wonka-Lesque," on Sunday evening.
