‘Dogfight’

Three words: marines, songwriters, romance. Resist this kind of musical if you can. Heartbreak, friendship, and maybe possibly a bit of coming of age included.

Loeb Experimental Theater, 2:30 p.m.

‘Pericles, Prince of Tyre’

The closest thing you’ll get to a traveling circus. There’s nothing quite like digesting some Shakespearean family feud tragedies with a hilarious medley of fishermen, pimps, and villains on the side. Besides, it’s Pericles in love. Who doesn’t want to know what this prince did with his time besides competing in death-defying duels?

Adams Pool Theater, 2 p.m.

Sunday, Nov. 9th

The A.R.T. of Human Rights

So you want to save humanity and all that good stuff, but you also love theater. Come talk about some current human rights issues with some talented artists, activists, and academics. You’ll feel good about yourself and get to pick the brains of creative gurus.
