Here’s a sampling of what you have to look forward to this week on the PDD Calendar.

Well, let’s address the 800 lb. chicken in the room. It’s Homegrown week with lots of shows in lots of venues all week long. And, this year, Perfect Duluth Day is providing a handy guide on your smartphone. Admit it. You love us.

Love your Lakewalk? You have opportunities to show your love this week with clean-up days on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday. There’s also a volunteer day at the Rose Garden on Tuesday.

Thursday is Pancake Day down at the DECC, an annual fundraiser for the Lion’s Club.

In the world of theater:

• Marshall is steampunking Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream this weekend.
• Motherhood Out Loud, a Rubber Chicken production, opens at Fitger’s and runs this weekend only.
• Oh, Coward, a revue of Noel Coward tunes in a cabaret setting, opens at the new Underground venue Thursday and runs two weekends.
• Last chance to see Coriolana at UMD, Godspell at the Playhouse and The Three Musketeers at Harbor City as they end their runs this weekend.

Saturday is May the Fourth (aka International Star Wars Day) and so, of course, the DSSO is doing a concert dedicated to music from the James Bond films. Bring a lightsaber anyway.

So what are you doing this week? Can we tag along? Any upcoming events that you want to promote? Let us know.
