Mary Lynn Dobson’s comedy Two on the Aisle, 3 in a Van receives a staged reading tonight at Casa Mañana. The show concerns a group of actors hurrying their way through a summer stock season of The Sound of Music, Medea, West Side Story, Oklahoma!, The Glass Menagerie, and Hello, Dolly. With all these plays in play, how could the actors possibly get confused? The reading is at 7:30pm at 3101 W Lancaster Av, FW. Admission is free. Call 817-321-5012.

 

FRI ▪ 19

Michael Hollinger’s Ghost-Writer has nothing to do with the similarly named Roman Polanski film. Rather, it’s a literary play about a secretary who might have continued the work of the deceased famous novelist who used to employ her. It all sounds like David Auburn’s Proof, but we’re putting it here because we neglected to mention it last week. The play runs thru Nov 10 at Circle Theatre, 230 W 4th St, FW. Tickets are $10-30. Call 817-877-3040.

 

SAT ▪ 20

Call 817-246-9775.

The Ridglea Theater started out as a movie palace, so it’s fitting that when the place opens up again this weekend, a movie will be screened.

Tickets are $20-25. Call 817-336-2344.

“We wanted to find America through the gasps of snow that fell like last century’s angels — / … and you said, This isn’t America into the truck’s dark cab and turned the radio loud.” Poet Kevin Prufer visits UNT to read from his verse, including his latest volume, In a Beautiful Country, which has received wide praise.
