Check out Floyd Collins at 185 Nassau this weekend and next.

With two weeks to go, we’re nearing the home stretch, folks! If you’re looking for a way to decompress from JPs or theses, or just want to procrastinate your way through this pre-winter formals weekend, look no further than this week’s killer events:

• If you’ve been living under a rock and haven’t seen the seventh Harry Potter yet (or Part 1, anyway), they’re offering it for free at the Garden Theatre this weekend at 11:30pm this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.  Yes, for free. Do it, and do it early: the last time they had a free movie (The Social Network) it sold out a good hour before the show started.  You can also pick up free tickets at the Garden beforehand.
• The creepy true story of a Kentucky miner stuck in a cave back in 1925 meets haunting, modern music in Landau and Guettel’s Floyd Collins, directed by Andy Linz ‘11 and featuring Hannah Wilson ‘11. Both students are using the play as their senior theses for the Department of Theatre; with its killer set, costumes and cast, it’s not to be missed. Matthews Acting Studio at 185 Nassau: Friday and Saturday at 8pm, with additional shows next weekend. Tickets $10, student events eligible.
• Up for some good ole-fashioned southern melodrama? Look no further than Tennessee Williams’s Garden District, a set of one-act plays directed by Dan Rattner ‘13 and produced by Theatre Intime.  Thursday-Saturday, this weekend and next, at 8pm in Theatre Intime: tickets $8, student events eligible.
