The end of the world doesn't happen too often on stage, but American Repertory Theatre director Marcus Stern has managed it twice in the past year. Stern helmed last year's critically panned (but Bostonist approved) Donnie Darko and directs the current run of Samuel Beckett's Endgame.
Do you like mousse? How about mysteries? How about both, together, on stage? Shear Madness, the long-running, hair-stylin' musical, is playing Thursday (June 19) at 8pm at the Charles Playhouse (74 Warrenton Street). If you're a blogger, you can get a ticket just for promising to review the show on your site--provided you RSVP in time! Just send an email to get on the list. The first 10 bloggers to respond will get a ticket and a free cocktail. What better way to enjoy a hairy murder mystery than for free, and with a little buzz on?

This past Monday French avant garde novelist and filmmaker Alain Robbe-Grillet died at the age of 85.

Roiling, minimalist beats, raps about partying and sneakers, and a whispered menace that keeps you off guard: it's like degree zero of the art form.

Obama? Clinton? Romney? Huckabee? Are you getting them all mixed up right about now? Try to get untangled because today is Super Tuesday and the Massachusetts Presidential Primary. Vote so you can at least weed a few of these candidates out.
--Haven't you always wanted to go to an event called HARVAPALOOZA? Well, now you can. Local band The Franklin Kite bring a special combination of musical prowess and astrophysics knowledge to Tommy Doyle's, where they'll play alongside Maya and The Trolleys to commemorate the palooza that is Harvard. Or something like that? Anyway, the show starts at 9 and it's totally free. A dance party will follow, so put your best foot forward. Hopefully it's not the left.
