In the spotlight: Moving Company's 'Liberty Falls' and Walker's 'Choreographers' Evening'

Opening: The Moving Company is back with a new show billed as an "operatic comedy." Dominique Serrand directs Christina Baldwin, Nathan Keepers, Jennifer Baldwin Peden and Steven Epp in a newly devised story about a woman marking her 105th birthday. The celebration goes ugly, reflecting much of the state of affairs in the world, but this being the Moving Company we are encouraged to laugh at that ugly side. The cast also includes Heidi Bakke and Dom Wooten. (7:30 p.m. Sat.-Sun. & Thu.-Fri. Ends Dec. 20. The Lab Theater, 700 N. 1st St., Mpls. $22-$32. 612-333-7977 or thelabtheater.org)

Saturday: The weekend after Thanksgiving tends to be a sluggish one. You've pigged out on food, exhausted yourself with family time, and now you've got three days to veg out, with very few entertainment options, because apparently everyone else is just lying on their couch, too. Luckily, there's Walker Art Center's "Choreographers' Evening." This annual post-Thanksgiving tradition is a great chance to check out locally made dances, curated by someone from the community. This year, it's dancer/choreographer Justin Jones, who has picked a selection of exciting newcomers — including Ea Eckwall, the elementary-school-aged daughter of Hijack's Arwen Wilder and her partner, lighting designer Heidi Eckwall — as well as choreographers who've been around for a minute but want to try something new, such as Jeffrey Wells, known for his work with Supergroup. (7 & 9:30 p.m. Sat., Walker Art Center, 1750 Hennepin Av. S., Mpls. $25. 612-375-7600 or walkerart.org)
