Adult humor and teen creativity spark the theater scene this week. “Broken Mirror 11,” Saturday and Sunday at the Rose, brings together monologues, raps, skits and commentary created by area teen girls. “Avenue Q,” a Broadway touring musical that mixes puppets and live-action characters, is at the Orpheum on Wednesday only. “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,” a musical based on the movie about con men, opens at the Bellevue Little Theatre on Friday. Look for a review of “Scoundrels” in Saturday's World-Herald.
At the movies starting Friday, a lawyer for a high-profile client works from the back of his town car in “The Lincoln Lawyer.” Matthew McConaughey, Marisa Tomei and Ryan Phillippe co-star in this drama. Going for laughs: “Paul,” in which a pair of Brit comic-book geeks encounter an alien near Area 51. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost star, with Seth Rogen. In another comedy, “Limitless,” a writer discovers a drug that gives him superhuman abilities. Bradley Cooper, Anna Friel and Abbie Cornish star. “The Last Lions,” a documentary, looks at the struggle for survival for a lioness and her cubs in Botswana.
There are many ways to say you don't want to see PBS funding cut, but if you're just a “Sesame Street” fan, you can join the Muppet Lobby. The folks at Mighty Fine are selling a T-shirt that reads “We Stand With the Muppet Lobby” and features some Muppet fists raised in the air. Visit welovefine.com.
Seems like every summer there's some huge, must-read event in the world of comics. Well, don't read it. Instead, head to toplessrobot.com and read its list of the 10 major comic events that actually mattered to get a bead on what was truly significant. It's pretty engaging.
