About Provincetown
Entertainment
Provincetown is a melting pot for performers of all kinds. Comedians, drag artists, cabaret and concert performers rub shoulders through the spring, summer and fall seasons. Kate Clinton, Naked Boys Singing, Judy Gold, VarIa Jean Merman and Jimmy James are just some of the performers who perform regularly in town.
Each Sunday, "the Great Music Series at 5 pm" takes place at the Unitarian Meeting House on Commercial St. These series of classical and popular performances feature singers, quartets, soloists and choral groups from around the world.
Add to this, concert performances by such well-known artists as Jane Olivor, Margaret Cho, Michael Feinstein and Betty Buckley and you get the picture.
Provincetown is a vibrant center of entertainment to satisfy all tastes and moods. Enjoy!
