3. A Little Fun

- "Hookman" - Through Nov. 21

Catch one of the last performances of “Hookman” at the Clarice Performing Arts Center, an ode to the now-vintage campy teen horror movies of the 1990s, like “Scream” and “I Know What You Did Last Summer.” The show, part of the university's Arts for All initiative highlighting intersections across the arts, science and technology, uses the latest equipment and design thanks to the Maya Brin Institute for New Performance. Read more on Maryland Today, and get tickets for "Hookman" here.
