FRIDAY, SEPT. 3, 2010 >>>

1. Stuart M. Dempster opens his month-long ship-themed paintings show at Amocat Café with a reception from 4:30-7:30 p.m.

2. It's Ladies Night at Edgeworks Climbing in Tacoma. Beginning at 5 p.m. the climbing gym in Tacoma discounts its prices for the ladies.

3. In Jeffrey Hatcher's 2008 adaptation Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde play at Harlequin Productions, Hyde is represented by four actors, one of them female, but Jekyll's a different actor altogether. It's a challenging idea, which Harlequin Production's director Scot Whitney does a fine job of communicating quickly. Read our full review here. Tonight's bonus: It's Ladies Night featuring complimentary champagne and chocolate in the lobby from 7-7:30 p.m., followed by the play at 8 p.m.

4. Horror films have carved out a bloody niche for themselves on the badlands of mainstream cinema. So it makes sense that The Grand Cinema will begin making screen space for this oft-overlooked genre with a new monthly series beginning tonight at 9:09 p.m. with the gruesome Italian-made schlockfest, The Beyond.

5. The Dirty Change up and the Revengers perform at 10 p.m. inside O'Malley's Irish Pub.
