    Check Out Great Art at the KIA

    ***$5 Museum Admission/$3 for students/Free for KIA members***

    Just five bucks (or less) gets you in to see works from the KIA collection; the circle in myriad manifestations. According the KIA:

    ...artists from diverse cultures recognize the circle's power as a line without beginning or end, symbolizing eternity and so much more.

    Symbolizing eternity together? How romantic!

    Fifty Shades of Shakespeare

    Four actors. Twelve scenes. Twenty-seven roles. Craziest part? The actors don't know which parts they're playing until showtime. Don't think Shakespeare could be sexy? Hamlet would beg to differ...

    ...to live/ In the rank sweat of an enseamed bed,/ Stew'd in corruption, honeying and making love..."

    You don't have to be lit-nerd to enjoy a night of the baudy Bard. It's steamy fun for everyone. Tickets are $20, but I suggest double dating with another couple and splitting the cost of a table. Treat yourself and your sweetheart. Get your tickets here.
