Potted Potter: The Unauthorized Harry Potter Experience

Comedic duo and TV regulars Daniel Clarkson and Jeff Turner take on and take off the immense lexicon of all seven Harry Potter books in a scant 70 minutes during performances of their unofficial parody, Potted Potter. Jeff dons the signature glasses and wields the wand of the titular hero, his forehead scar replaced with a hastily scrawled “Harry,” and Dan plays each of the more than 300 other characters. He slips into a muscle suit and devil horns to portray Voldemort, dons a pointed wizard hat to take the role of headmaster Dumbledore, and controls a small puppet for the lovable elf Dobby. The comedy flows not only from the pair's interpretation of the series and their overactive humor glands, but also from their onstage relationship, as resident wizard expert Jeff becomes increasingly frustrated with Dan's tenuous knowledge of the source material and irresponsible use of the show's budget. The pair also engages the audience in an interactive game of the wizard sport, Quidditch. Potted Potter has earned accolades from the New York Times and Time Out London as well as a 2012 Olivier Awards nomination.

This season, Rock Cats head coach Jeff Smith leads a 25-man roster filled with promising talent and a desire to improve on last year’s 3rd place finish. With 13 players returning from the 2012 campaign, the Rock Cats have hit the basepaths running, opening the season with a 20–18 record that doesn’t account for the many victories in games of tic-tac-toe scrawled into the dirt near home plate. Rock Cats fans can look forward to watching three of the top prospects listed by MLB.com—RHP Trevor May, RHP Alex Meyer, and infielder Danny Santana—as well as four players currently listed on the Twins' 40-man Major League Roster.

Centuries-Old Estate in Eastern Connecticut’s Pastoral Countryside

The Inn at Woodstock Hill resides in northeast Connecticut’s Quiet Corner, a pastoral region that's known as one of the last green valleys on the heavily urbanized northern East Coast. Open fields, rolling hills, and working dairy farms surround the inn’s massive clapboard house, which was built by one of Woodstock’s earliest settlers in 1816. Even as the house approaches its 200th birthday, it’s been kept up-to-date with renovations, additions, and restorations.

Inside, antique furnishings mingle with brightly colored walls, beautiful wallpapers, and worldly touches such as an Egyptian-tile fireplace in the living room. In the kitchen, the chef crafts traditional New England dinners. Saffron lobster bisque seasoned with fresh cream and brandy, crab-stuffed trout wrapped in bacon, and other favorites are served in the dining room, where the tables are set with polished silver and candles.

The inn also holds occasional culinary events. Check the calendar for the Stew and Story series, where local storytellers spin yarns while listeners enjoy hearty soups and desserts.

Each of the inn's guest rooms is uniquely decorated. Room 201, painted in a soft rose hue, has one queen four-poster bed and a living room with a fireplace. There are two queen beds in Room 314, which has a sloped ceiling and leafy-print wallpaper.

Woodstock, Connecticut: Peaceful Farmland in Northeast Connecticut’s Quiet Corner

Between Old Sturbridge Village and Mystic Seaport lies Woodstock, a rural town known for its pastoral landscapes and dairy farms. The surrounding area is called the Quiet Corner, a region praised in the book 1,000 Places to See in the United States and Canada Before You Die. Spanning 62 square miles of farmland, Woodstock is the second-largest town in the state by area, and it’s lined with craft shops, artist galleries squirreled away in old barns, and local wineries.

For some of the best antiquing in the area, head to the neighboring town of Putnam. It’s home to the Antiques Marketplace, one of the largest collectibles malls in central New England.

Comfortable, Convenient Hotel in Connecticut

Shelton experienced an economic revitalization in the 1980s, when several major companies, including General Electric and Black & Decker, opened offices here. The Courtyard by Marriott Shelton is conveniently located to offer easy access to—or reprieve from—the corporate corridor. Located just south of town, the hotel provides a wealth of relaxing amenities.

In the indoor pool you can relieve the stress of an intense budget meeting or the stress of discovering that your tie reacts to flute music like a cobra. Floor-to-ceiling windows surround the pool and look out on the property’s gardens. Later, you can sip a cocktail while perched on a high-backed bar chair with the lobby fireplace at your back. The Bistro prepares contemporary American fare for breakfast and dinner. Comfortable guest rooms are outfitted with flat-screen TVs and free WiFi.

Shelton, Connecticut: Revitalized Hamlet Outside Hartford

Shelton's minor industrial revolution near the turn of the 21st century helped make it one of the fastest-growing cities in Connecticut. Big companies converted defunct warehouses into high-tech facilities. The influx of work has revitalized downtown, which today boasts charming mom-and-pop stores along brick and cobblestone sidewalks. A farmers' market offers fresh produce, and the 10-acre Riverwalk Park provides a scenic jogging path along the Housatonic River.
