When I fall in love...
Thru Dec. 17 • Durham
Two teenage boys begin to fall in love in Manbites Dog's new show, "Edith Can Shoot Things and Hit Them," a
regional premiere that takes a frank and funny look at the way kids cope with a sometimes hostile adult world. All
but abandoned in the American heartland, these kids struggle to create a makeshift family. And when the outside
world barges in, the only things that can protect them are love, loyalty, and marksmanship. A hilarious, heartbreak
ing, and gently subversive story of real family values. Manbites Dog Theater, 703 Foster St. $17/ Fridays-Saturdays.
$12^weeknig}Tts'.$Z’S^,nior discount. $5/students. 919-682-3343. manbitesdogtheater.com/384/.
