Thursday 19th: Goldfinger

Opens Thursday 19th: Rumpus Room Dance

Assembled like a short story collection, dropped into an urban architectural setting, Rumpus Room Dance's latest show, Into the Fold is a collaboration between dance, sculpture, light and painting, toying with the sensation of being on the outside looking in. Pinnacle Pavilion. NW 10th Ave. 8:30pm, Thurs.-Sun. $25 (or 2 for $40)

Opens Friday 20th:
Chop Shop

Hard hitting movie following the story of Alejandro, a streetwise boy from Queen's trying to save money for a burrito cart. Hollywood Theatre, 4122 NE Sandy Blvd. $4-$6
