Road Rage

Caution: the play deals with some very adult content, but it’s beautifully written.  It’s at Duquesne University’s Genesius Theater, 600 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15282.

Scout’s Honor

Scout’s beleaguered father as he fights an important court case in Harper Lee’s “To Kill A Mockingbird.” Don’t set a watchman, go see this play instead. It’s at New Hazlett Theater, 6 Allegheny Square East, Pittsburgh, PA 15212. For more information, click here.

 

Pull that Lever

Things seem dire, but fear not. Saturday November 5 you can dance your blues away at the “Worried about the Election – Move to Canada Dance Party.” DJ Antithesis will mix all your favorite Canadian artists like Drake, Avril, Alanis and the Biebs.

It Ain’t Over till it’s Over!

If anyone can find the funny in the bitter end of the weirdest, wackiest election season in recorded history it’s John McIntire and his guests in “Almost Over- McIntire’s Dangerously Live Comedy Talk Show.” Join Johnny Mac, Comedian Gab Bonesso, Former House Minority Leader Mike Veon and Former Arlen Specter staffer Doug Saltzman for one last laugh before the election.
