Brave New Workshop ensemble member Tom Reed created and stars in this solo parody of the Netflix sci-fi horror series "Stranger Things." Wielding minimal props (a flashlight, two rolls of Christmas lights) and accompanied by keyboardist Jon Pumper (BNW's music director), Reed hilariously gets to the mock-scary heart of the show while making pointed social commentary. 'Stranger-er Things: Netflix and Kill': Playful and engaging, he, well, kills it. (10 p.m. Mon., 7 p.m. Wed., 5:30 p.m. Fri., 1 p.m. Sun. Aug. 13, Phoenix Theater, 2605 Hennepin Av. S., Mpls.)

Michelangelo's David has been a towering figure in Italian culture since its completion in 1504. But in the current era of the quick buck, curators worry the marble statue's religious and political significance is being diminished by the thousands of refrigerator magnets and other souvenirs sold around Florence focusing on David's genitalia.
