THEATER: Theatre of Yugen presents Nikolai Gogol’s Overcoat, where a ghost ("corpse") goes around stealing overcoats. Of course, this Russian lit classic is about much, much more, but we recommend it for all of you who insist on keeping your stinky, threadbare attire. This experimental modern approach top the tale will be an interactive theatrical experience.
