Attack of the Killer B-Movies
Dark Room Theater
Funny title, that. Ghoulishly great concept, too. Local playwright Sean Owens adapted three horror classics for the stage: The Birds (Hitchcock’s avian invasion), The Bad Seed (cutie pie from hell) and The Blob (“it leaps and creeps and glides and slides across the floor”). Each play runs for two weekends. Expect high camp.

Livros do Cordel: Books on a String
Center for the Book
In a rapidly dying Brazilian tradition, street poets create and print little illustrated pamphlets in which they write of everyday events in the world around them. They hang the livros on clotheslines in the marketplace, sometimes attracting customers by warbling their rhymes. Center for the Book displays a selection of these tiny booklets.
