THEATER & PERFORMANCE
Minnesota Fringe reconstructs Romeo and Juliet

Five
local performing arts companies — Brave New Workshop, Commedia
Beauregard, Zealots and Mystics, Rockstar Storytellers, and Four Humors
— break Shakespeare apart and glue him back together in Five-Fifths of Romeo and Juliet tonight. This is the fifth annual Five-Fifths of…
performance to benefit the Minnesota Fringe. Each participating company
received one-fifth of a script and reinterpreted their part as they saw fit. Companies haevn’t discussed each of their parts with
the other four companies, so the results ought to be quite amusing
— a coherent piece with divergent (sometimes conflicting)
interpretations.

7:30 p.m., Theatre de la Jeune Lune, 105 N. First St., Minneapolis; 612-872-1212; $35.

MUSIC
Sweet, Sweet Music

Apparently, DJ
Breckheimer is getting tired of making his way into Minneapolis for live music. According to his email, he has been hoping and wishing that we had a bit more live
music down "South of the River," so he finally decided to invite some of the great acts and artists to Apple Valley for an evening of music at Luxury Sweets candy store. (It sounds so wholesome.) Head on down and enjoy the sweet sounds of Stook, Chastity, Erin Kate, Katey Bellville, Roger Flyer and Carl Franzen.

7-9 p.m., Luxury Sweets, 15322 Galaxie Ave #105, Apple Valley.

Also tonight, enjoy one the hottest young Latin bands — Grammy-nominated Tiempo Libre — at the Dakota (7 p.m., $30).

The Parkway is bringing Frida back — the triumphant motion picture about an exceptional woman (and artist) who
lived an unforgettable life. Enjoy Salma Hayek, Alfred Molina, Antonio Banderas , Ashley Judd, Edward Norton, and Geoffrey Rush in this fabulous film that was nominated for six Academy Awards. For whatever reason, tonight’s screening is free!
