weekend
essentials
Mar. 12 to Mar. 15
ON STAGE
"Kiss of the Spider
Woman" is a complex,
gritty musical that
depicts two cellmates
in a Latin American
prison and their strug-
gle to understand the
nature of heroism. This
weekend, MUSKET -
the University's only
student-run musical
theatre troupe - will
bring the dark, conflict-
ridden show to the
Power Center stage on
Friday and Saturday
at 8 p.m. and Sunday
at 2 p.m. Tickets are
$7 from the Michigan
League Ticket office.
CONCERT
This Saturday, Wolf
Parade frontman Dan
Boeckner takes his
husband-and-wife
side project, Hand-
some Furs, for a spin
at the Blind Pig. With
slick, fuzzy indie-rock
riffs propelled by clap-
heavy drum machines
(and a just-released
album, Face Control),
the performance is
surefire hipster bait.
Silverghost and Child-
light open; tickets are
$10 and doors are
at 9:30 p.m.18+.
FILM
Missing winter already,
you crazy masochist?
Then check out "Let
the Right One In," the
new-to-DVD vampire
import from Sweden.
It never stops snow-
ing in this tale of a
mentally disturbed
prepubescent boy who
suspects his new best
friend/girlfriend may
actually be a murder-
ing bloodsucker. As
the suspense mounts
and the lines between
child, adult and vam-
pire are continually
blurred, the movie will
certainly leave you
feeling very cold.
LIBRARY
Stephanie Izard,
University alum and
winner of "Top Chef"
season four, will be
coming to the Ann
Arbor Downtown
Library (343 S. Fifth
Avenue) on Sunday
from 2 to 3:30 p.m. As
the series's first female
winner, Izard will give a
talk on her experiences
on "Top Chef" and her
work in the Chicago
food scene. She will
also give a demonstra-
tion of her culinary
prowess. Free to all.
