Score! In every sense of the word! Minnesota Orchestra presents "Video Games Live: Bonus Round", featuring live performances of some of the most popular and compelling game music around. The performance includes syncronized lighting and video footage, to boot - you may just feel your thumbs twitching to hit the "shoot" and "jump" keys.
Want to see what kind of art is making waves in Europe? All this month the Walker Art Center presents its annual "Out There" series; this weekend it kicks off with "Show Your Face!" by avant-garde Slovene physical theater troupe Betontanc and Latvian object theater masters Umka.lv. "Seven actors and three musicians bring an empty snowsuit to life--a faceless everyman on a dark odyssey through the 20th century."
Did David Mamet's look at the real estate agency in 1984 predict in some way today's foreclosure crisis? Torch Theater presents "Glengarry Glen Ross," the play that became the hit film starring Alec Baldwin and Jack Lemmon.

Nightpath Theatre presents Macbeth: Rehearsing, an original production of a "typical rehearsal" of one of the greatest tragedies ever written.
