Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center has announced further plans for its previously reported 2012-2013 season.

Highlights will include Masters of the Fiddle with Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy, a whirlwind of fiddle-driven music, dance, and song to take place March 24 at 7 pm. Then, writer and humorist David Sedaris will make an appearance April 6 at 8pm.

On April 26, Cirque Shanghai: Bai Xi will perform their visually spectacular production that combines astounding Chinese acrobatics with fast-paced action and contemporary staging. The fall will bring an autism-friendly screening of London National Theatre’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Simon Stephens’s imaginative stage adaptation of Mark Haddon’s novel.

In addition, Mahaiwe will present cinema offerings including a “Live in HD” broadcast of London’s National Theatre production of The Magistrate starring John Lithgow (January 17), as well as Movie of the Month screenings of The Birds, All That Jazz, The Wizard of Oz, and It’s A Wonderful Life.
