Doings About Town

Hot town, summer in the city — the streets are drenched, but the weekend's lookin' pretty ...

¶ People who consider theater a drag should stay far, far away, but Actors' Express continues draw crowds for the roadshow of Hedwig & the Angry Inch in west Midtown. Tickets have sold out for Saturday, but performances continue through July 26.

¶ Gemütlichkeit! Suds lovers and Germanophiles, rejoice: Bierfest 2003 cranks up at Piedmont Park this Friday at 6 p.m. Twenty dollars covers all the beer you can drink — so head on over to hoist a brew and savor den frauen. [Or to savor the brew and hoist den frauen.]

¶ The Pushkin Museum exhibition at the High is drawing to a close, with two weekends left before curators pack three centuries of French masterworks off to the next town. If you have a sweet tooth for Monet's White Water Lilies but think the idea of flying to Moscow sounds less than fun, hurry up -- time's a-wastin'.

¶ Just up Ga. 316, Athens turns on the stage lights this Friday for its cut-rate answer to Music Midtown. Expect a who's-who of local artists and favorites to plug in for Athfest, including the Cindy Wilson Band, Cracker, Five-Eight, I Am the World Trade Center, and former Drivin' ’n Cryin' lead singer Kevn Kinney. A three-day pass costs $12 online, or $15 if purchased at the show.
