Friday-Sunday. Dance. Winifred R. Harris’ Southern California dance company, Between Lines, will visit the Mile High City this weekend to stage “Joy Comes in the Morning.” The collaboration with wordsmith Sonja Marie weaves the written and musical offerings of Anthony Hamilton, Liz Wright, Aretha Franklin and others into its artistic tapestry, which seeks to question fear and comfort with spirituality. Friday-Sunday at Cleo Parker Robinson Theatre, 119 Park Avenue West, 8 p.m. Friday-Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday; $10-$20, 303-296-6287 or
Friday-Sunday. Theater. Stories about ghosts inhabiting Denver’s Victorian Playhouse are plentiful. The Vic is Denver’s most unusual theater – a stage built into the basement of a 1908 residence at 4201 Hooker St. A group called Colorado Para-
normal Research investigated by spending the night on Sept. 29. On Saturday they will reveal what they learned after the reader’s theater performance of the Hunger Artists’ “An Evening With Edgar Allan Poe,” with tales including “The Raven,” “The Tell-Tale Heart” and more. 7:30 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays, 6 p.m. Sundays through Nov. 3. $16-$18 (2-for-1 Thursdays). 303-893-5438 or
Monday. Film. What’s your type? If you answered “Helvetica,” then Gary Hustwit’s documentary is for you. If you don’t quite trust that a typeface, even one as utilized globally as much as this one (created by a Swiss graphic designer in 1957), is worth a feature-length documentary, then “Helvetica” is for you, too. Hustwit, wrote one reviewer, “has a knack for finding a universe within a narrow topic.” 7 and 9 p.m. Mayan Theatre, 110 Broadway, $12-$15;
Tuesday. Music. The former Eurythmics singer tends to inspire mantles like “diva” and “icon,” but on Annie Lennox’s new disc, she
appropriately conjures “powerhouse.” “Songs of Mass Destruction,” which dropped Oct. 2,
meshes pop-rock hallmarks like chugging guitar and drums with soaring strings, thick choruses and even a bit of hip-hop. She’ll debut songs from the forceful new disc Tuesday when she plays Macky Auditorium in Boulder. CU-Boulder campus, 7:30 p.m., $54.50-$69.50, 303-830-8497
