Penobscot Theatre Co. rehearses its newest production, “My Story is Gluskabe,” which opens this weekend and runs through March 17. Puppets in the production range from the tiny chickadee with whom Gluskabe communicates, to the monster moose he hunts, whose body later becomes part of the land.

Things to do this Weekend

There are lots of cool events this weekend in the Bangor area, including a local indie rock show featuring Darksoft, Snake Lips and Burn Kit on Friday night at the Bangor Arts Exchange, Les Ballets Trockadero at the Collins Center for the Arts in Orono on Saturday night, and Celtic band Fodhla at the Next Generation Theater in Brewer, also on Saturday. On Saturday afternoon, Skijor comes to Bass Park for its third wintertime event in Maine. What’s Skijor? It’s like a cross between cross country skiing and dog sledding — just with horses instead of dogs. The fun starts at 10:30 a.m. and admission is $10/free for kids 5 and under.

“Maine’s changing winter is another example of the impacts of climate change and a reminder that we have to take action now to preserve the outdoor activities that draw Mainers outdoors and draw visitors to Maine.”
