Last Minute July Fourth

More variety than a fireworks stand

A Fourth favorite returns: DC’s Capitol Steps poke fun at politics with song parodies galore.

• Global Village celebrates with a rich array of music from artists from around the world who now call America home.
• A funny classic PRX piece on overdoing it with fireworks.

Much more for the Fourth

Transom Story Workshop

Great pieces, debut producers

Each spring and fall, students learn from the best on Cape Cod at the Transom Story Workshop. Here are some of the short pieces they produced:

Buck Dietz is a figure model who stands naked and completely still. He shares his surprising techniques that make his artform… sing.

• Meet cobbler Victor Powell, who makes the last custom shoes in Provincetown, Mass.
• The demolition of cottages and the changing landscape of a long-established community on Cape Cod.
