FRIDAY

Poorcastle Festival 2017 Apocalypse Brew Works $10 for the weekend; $5 a day  |  2 p.m As the “festival for the rest of us,” Poorcastle plays the lighthearted foil event to the Forecastle Festival, but, more important, it’s three days of local music, and the proceeds are injected into area organizations that aim to strengthen the Louisville community.

Somerset Maugham’s “The Letter,” an early Cary Grant movie “Arsenic and Old Lace,” “Gaslight” (Ingrid Bergman won an Academy Award for her role), another Sherlock Holmes mystery “The Woman in Green,” ripped-from-the-headlines “Anatomy of a Murder” and “Witness for the Prosecution” (one of the genre’s best movies).
