At the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater you can see Sex with Strangers. When twenty-something star sex blogger and memoirist Ethan tracks down his idol, the gifted but obscure fortyish novelist Olivia, he finds they each crave what the other possesses. My review is on the Arts Week blog. For times and tickets, go to WHAT.org

Want to go to the movies? At Water’s Edge Cinema you can see NORMAN: THE MODERATE RISE & TRAGIC FALL OF A NEW YORK FIXER: Richard Gere playfully portrays a well-dressed, wheeling & dealing Manhattanite who befriends an Israeli politician just before his career begins to soar, bringing a mix of positive change & new levels of chaos into both of their lives. A YEAR BY THE SEA: Set & filmed on Cape Cod & based on the best-selling memoir by local writer Joan Anderson, this romantic drama/comedy tells the story of a woman who moves to a seaside cottage for a year of self-reckoning & rediscovery. Times and tickets go to watersedgecinema.org.

This is your last weekend to see Regular Singing at the Cape Rep Theater, a wonderfully intimate drama set on the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s assassination, that unfolds in the Apple home in Rhinebeck, New York as the family shares a monumental evening together, one that is both unique and familiar to us all. More at caperep.org

Tonight’s the premiere of Wrinkles, the Musical at the Cape Cod Theatre Company in Harwich. In 2008, two dear friends celebrated their 60th birthdays. One went on a silent retreat for three weeks and wrote poetry. The other got a personal trainer, cosmetic dentistry, Botox, Juvaderm, and laser treatments. See how it all worked out!
