Do you like talking at the movies?
While theaters generally won’t mesh with your chatty tendencies, there’s a local offering that should fit perfectly. The Kiggins Theatre, 1011 Main St., Vancouver, has cued up a 10 p.m. showing tonight of the classic cult film, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” which includes a live shadowcast performance by the Denton Deliquents, a local acting group, who will dress in costumes, makeup and perform dance numbers. In true shadowcast fashion, the audience is encouraged to join in by also throwing on a costume, shouting lines at the cast, dancing and even throwing props on stage at certain times. The film is rated R; parents must accompany those 17 and younger. Admission is $10, and prop kits range from $2 to $8. 360-816-0352 or kigginstheatre.com
Visit a museum when small children aren’t running around — and drink beer. The fun times are that straightforward at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry’s Brewfest: After-Dark at 6 p.m. Wednesday. OMSI, 1945 S.E. Water Ave., Portland, will still offer the scientific and technological doses of entertainment they’re known for. So shoot a water rocket. Learn about fossils. Or robots. Or tornadoes. This 21-and-older event features an exhibit on the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D., which includes almost 200 artifacts. Admission is $15 to $45. 800-955-6674 or omsi.edu/calendar
If reading helps you fall asleep, maybe you should spend the night in a library. Camas Public Library, 625 N.E. Fourth Ave., is providing that exact opportunity at its Library Sleepover from 7 p.m. Sept. 29 to 7 a.m. Sept. 30. The library is also providing games, movies, crafts and some snacks, although eating dinner beforehand is recommended. Also, bring a sleeping bag, pajamas, flashlight and your library card. Air mattresses are OK. There’s a 25-kid limit, with kids first through sixth grade allowed, plus their adult. Advance registration is required, and once admitted, families must stay in the library all night. Admission is free; 360-834-4692 or cityofcamas.us/camaspubliclibrary
Even after death, Patsy Cline’s music lives on. “Always, Patsy Cline,” presented by the Love Street Playhouse and directed by Tony Bump, weaves together emotion and humor in this exploration of the legendary country singer, who died in a plane crash at 30. Performances start at 7:30 p.m. and run Oct. 4-6 and Oct. 18-20 at the Lewis River Golf Course, 3209 Old Lewis River Road, Woodland. The show, which features dozens of Cline’s songs, is based on a friendship Cline struck up with a fan from Houston named Louise Seger, who corresponded through letters with Cline for a couple years before the singer died in 1963. Admission is $20 to $35; 360-907-9996 or lovestreetplayhouse.com
