Well folks, we’re down to the last three days of this city-wide performing-arts smorgasbord. If you are Fringing hardcore, now’s the time to catch up with the shows you missed last weekend. If you can’t take it anymore, gather with your fellow Fringers and Fringe artists at the Warehouse Friday and Saturday nights at midnight for drink specials and a handful of special performances Saturday night. But if you’re looking for more, head downtown to grab a bite for yourself, as there’s still plenty of opportunities to gorge out. In fact, we’ve still got shows opening this weekend: more dance, an acclaimed puppet troupe, a pair of staged readings, and more.

New This Weekend:

Not Every Woman…What’s Your Story?, Floyd Project Dance Company
Combining spoken word with dance, the Floyd Project Dance Company interweaves women’s stories, highlighting both individual threads and common bonds. And part of the performance is in Finnish! Finally, a little something for the Finns! [The Warehouse Mainstage, Friday 6:00 p.m., Saturday 2:15 p.m., Sunday 12:00 p.m.]

Sahara Dance Showcase, Raqs Sahara and Sahara Tribal
Get your hookah on one last time before the smoking ban takes effect and join Sahara Dance. They’re featuring two of their dance companies in one show that will demonstrate their “artful approach to belly dance.” [Calvary Baptist Church – Woodward Hall, Friday 8:00 p.m., Saturday 10:00 p.m.]

Shadows, dream within a dream, Theatre Alliance/Luna Morena
When any of the folks at Theatre Alliance are asked about this show from the guest artists of Luna Moreno, they pause, get quiet, and speak with both hushed reverence and giddy anticipation of the first ever American performance of this acclaimed Mexican puppet theatre. This piece centers on the work of Edgar Allan Poe and, from what we hear, will blow you away. [H Street Playhouse, Friday 8:00 p.m., Saturday 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., Sunday 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.]
