Salzburg Marionette Theater with Orion Weiss
If there was ever an event designed for children and adults, Orion Weiss and the Salzburg Marionette Theater have it covered: think puppets and classical music. Friends of Chamber Music and The College of Arts at PSU welcome New York pianist Orion Weiss - a regular at Chamber Music's Northwest's summer festival - who will be performing alongside four Austrian puppets as they get set to play Debussy's "The Toy Box". Weiss has previously performed this same program, getting a rave review from The New York Times for his performance's child-like appearance combined with a subtle and sophisticated score. Lincoln Hall, 1620 SW Park Ave., (503) 725-3307. 3 pm Sun., Oct. 26. Click HERE for ticket information.
BloodyVox: Nightmare on Northrup
Hollywood Theatre Presents: Ghostbusters
If you don't like this movie, then you must be a three-year-old who's scared of Mr. Stay Puft or you've already seen this classic about 89 times. Either way, that's understandable. But if you're only on viewing number 87, or if you're looking to have a good time while watching a good movie, be sure to check out the Hollywood Theatre for a showing of Ghostbusters this weekend. And it's a great chance to consider who might fill these dudes shoes now that it's been announced an all-female version of this franchise is in the works. Hollywood Theatre, 4122 NE Sandy Blvd., (503) 281-4215. Ghostbusters shows Oct. 24-31.
