It's got a big character, big portion sizes and this big ol' car show twice a month!

FROGZ. It's hard to explain exactly what this show is without comparing it to other kinds of entertainment—like magic, animation, physical comedy, mime and acrobatics—and then immediately adding the disclaimer that it's not quite any of those. From Carol Triffle and Jerry Mouawad, the creators of Imago, comes this show that blurs the lines between modes of entertainment and is perfect for both children and adults (especially kids ages 5 and up). Come see a show that will have you marveling over mastery and oohing and ahhing over the pure magic of it. 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 4. Centennial Hall, 1020 E. University Blvd. $15 to $45+. Details Here.

The Cripple of Inishmaan. Are you looking for something with the poignance of an Irish fable, but the artistry of the Osar-nominated film Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri? Boy, do we have news for you. The Arizona Repertory Theatre is presenting this play by Martin McDonagh, the writer of both In Bruges and the above-mentioned film. UA Assistant Professor Hank Stratton directs this story about an orphan named "Cripple Billy," who longs to escape his humdrum daily life off the west coast of Ireland, and sees his chance when he hears that a Hollywood film is being shot on a neighboring island. It's dark comedy, biting social irony and theater at its finest. Sunday, Nov. 4, through Sunday, Dec. 2, with shows at either 1:30 or 7:30 p.m. Tornabene Theatre, 1025 N. Olive Road. $17 to $28. Details Here.
