Five Things To Do This Weekend: June 29-30

Gender-bending Shakespeare, a bone marrow drive for an NYPD officer and more.

1. Shaking Up Shakespeare. See Smith Street Stage’s unique performance of “Julius Caesar,” which features Sarah Dacey Charles as the Roman leader and live original music. Carroll Park on Carroll Street between Court and Smith Streets. Saturday at 7 p.m. Tickets are free.

2. Dancing Queen. Check out “Sacred Vision,” a night of performances highlighting the dance rhythms of ancient India. The event is part of the six-day DanceFest INDIA! festival in Brooklyn. Kumble Theater, Flatbush Avenue Extension. Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 on the day of the show. 

3. Something for the Kids. To celebrate the end of the school year, join your kids in releasing hundreds of ladybugs into the garden of the Brooklyn Children’s Museum. Saturday at 145 Brooklyn Avenue. 1:30 to 2 p.m. All ages are welcome.

4. Give Back. Help safe the life of one of New York City’s Finest during the Bone Marrow Drive for NYPD Officer Dean Monaco.
