Margot Wölk was one of a small group of women chosen to taste Adolf Hitlers food to see if it had been poisoned, though she detested the dictator and his politics. This anachronistic dark comedy explores themes of complacency as it follows what those young women did while they were waiting to find out, after eating, if theyd live or die.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4
Kentucky Exposition Center
$10 general admission | 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
All sorts of creepy-crawlies, skeletons, specimens, and spooky things will fill South Wing A of the Expo Center for this peculiar traveling convention. Young children and squeamish adults should stay home.
21st in Germantown
$15 | 4:3-5:30 p.m.
And if you are too squeamish for that expo, why not try something chill namely, a yoga class so easy you can follow along with a beer in your hand?
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 5
Planet of the Tapes
$12 ($9 with the code LEO at checkout) | 6-8 p.m.
Find a date before Valentines Day at this very unique event. Besides the attendees, therell be a few characters in attendance; last time, according to an attendee who told LEO about his experience, they included bad advice friend, a happily-married man, and Jesus. (The latter reportedly joined/mediated conversations where someone felt uncomfortable.) Therell also be unique conversation prompts: for example, rather than the usual Tell me about yourself, you might hear, How would you fight a sharknado?
