Weekend Wonder: Because of Poppy Weisz

Mike Paulus |

We’ve been talking about the UWEC Players production of Because of Poppy Weisz around the office, and this weekend presents an excellent opportunity to see it, on either Saturday or Sunday (full details on times and prices). From the description: “What if what you read in the papers isn’t exactly what happened? The relationships between four young New Yorkers and their ties to a grisly Capitol Hill murder magnifies and reflects the obsessive sense of connectedness of the 21st century. This nearly two-hour play is the UWEC Players’ longest student-produced piece since their 2007 resurrection.” Check it out! And check out the cool website!

Also on Saturday: Swiss Miss Rumble in the Jungle Snowshoe Races, Planetarium Show, an authentic Indian meal to raise money for Haiti, Cabaret!, Persepolis (film), Doktor Kaboom!, fashion show at Raw Deal, and holy moley, The Daredevil Christopher Wright + Caroline Smith & the Good Night Sleeps + Starfolk + Cedarwell.

Art shows: Anatomical Autonomy, Eric Lee & Jason Lanka Art Exhibit, Stout Faculty Show, Genesis, and Holy Mackerel.
