Let's face it. The entertainment-slash-shock value of seeing Denzel with an afro lasts about five minutes. Sure, he's got game, but maybe you don't. Maybe you're looking for a nice, mellow non-athletic way to spend your weekend. So check out this A&E joint.

Performance: I like it live
In Shakespeare's day, all the female roles went to boys who could speak in falsetto and didn't mind wearing a dress. But the L.A. Women's Shakespeare Company makes up for lost time. Their latest all-female production is a strange dream indeed, transporting the classic comedy to New York City.
