Friday 10/3
Farmers' Market Fridays. Greater Kennedy Plaza 11am-2pm. www.providenceri.com/ArtCultureTourism/this_week.php
Farmers' markets are one of the easiest places to find the tasty harvests of Rhode Island farms. Here on the sidewalk along Burnside Park, you'll find a diversity of foods fresh from the fields and meet the people who grow your meal. Plus, every dollar paid directly to a local grower is a dollar invested into Rhode Island communities.
"Bug" at the Black Repertory Theater. 7pm, 401 621-6123
www.blackrep.org
A handsome drifter. A lonely waitress. A cheap motel. But what's that crawling across the bed? Reality slowly blurs and suspense turns to horror, as this darkly comic thriller explores the line between conspiracy theory and actual conspiracy. A tale of love, paranoia, and the grip of government, Bug will get under your skin.

http://www.trinityrep.com/
In the hands of artistic director Curt Columbus, one of the world's oldest plays becomes a modern-day retelling of an ancient story of courage and faith that asks the question: can one person change the world?

www.lupos.com
Want to go see Pearl Jam but can't afford it? Then go see Itchy Fish, the best Pearl Jam tribute band there is! They'll be playing mostly Pearl Jam songs along with some of their own! An exciting concert to go see.

http://www.perishable.org/
A missing husband. An unfaithful wife. A laundry-sniffing best friend. And by the way, who's in the bathroom? An oddly comic fable about the value of faith, the tender fragility of relationships, and the 'right' way to tell a bad joke. Just what happened to the husband is unclear, but a mysterious stranger is about to reveal all.
