Thursday night and weekend highlights

A few options for you this eve:

- Up at The King's English Thursday, U of U writing prof Maximilian Werner is reading from his new book Black River Dreams, which the King's English Web site calls "a collection of literary fly fishing essays that celebrates the fly fishing life, the intersection between past and present, spirit and body, water and land, ghosts and dreams." The tome won the Utah Arts Council's 2008 Original Writing Award in the Nonfiction Book category.  It's free and starts at 7 p.m.

- Kingsbury Hall features the flying feats, and feets, of the Peking Acrobats. I've seen this group before, and it truly is amazing what human beings can do. They perform Thursday and Friday—both shows start at 7:30 p.m.

- Avenue Q continues its run at Capitol Theatre through Sunday; check out my review here, and then go buy some tickets at ArtTix! It's worthy.

- Thursday night marks the first of a three-night run for Big Bad Voodoo Daddy with the Utah Symphony at Abravanel Hall.

- Alterna-hip-hopper Lyrics Born performs Thursday in Park City at the Star Bar, and Friday in Salt Lake City at The State Room.

- Country crooner Chris Cagle performs Thursday night at The Westerner in West Valley City.

- Another interesting rapper, P.O.S., performs Saturday at Kilby Court, and Sunday at Urban Lounge.
