Get Out: Weekend Activities In and Around Eagan

• 
  When/Where: Opening night is 7:30 p.m. on Friday, April 13 at the Burnsville Performing Arts Center in Burnsville.
  Why Go: A gritty, innovative play based on Euripides' "Hippolytus" and Racine's "Phaedra"—radically reconstructed and placed in Burnsville's Trailer Park world. A world in which Phaedra can't resist sleeping with her stepson and Theseus is a distracted businessman. It is a world in which a garage band stands in for a Greek chorus and townspeople sit around the gas station talking about the extraordinary relationships they have had and the many unconventional ways that "true love" determines the course of our lives. Suggested for mature audiences.
  Cost: $20
