Comedian Jordan Rock doesn't take himself seriously -- his Twitter profile picture is Solange's latest album cover with the caption "The Solange of my Family," and he claims he's doing way better in life on Facebook than in reality like most millennials. (Posting pictures of himself on stage prompt gratuitous comments like "You're killin' it!!") And yeah, he's Chris Rock's youngest brother but he's also been making a name for himself through television, stand-up and movies. Most notably, you can watch him on Judd Apatow's "Love", plus an upcoming Netflix movie "San Bernardino Bound" with Josh Peck ("Drake and Josh") and Tony Revolori ("The Grand Budapest Hotel"). Now you can post a picture of him killing it on the stage of the Baltimore Comedy Factory. [less-]

Proclaimed "the greatest American play ever written," Thornton Wilder's "Our Town" looks at the power of life and death even in the brightest and most unassuming of settings. Winning the Pulitzer Prize in 1938, this hard-hitting drama has been performed on Broadway and beyond. Now, a small cast of just seven characters play what is traditionally a play with over 20 characters. Narrated by the nameless Stage Manager (played by "Angels in America"'s Jon Hudson Odom), the actors often break the fourth wall to address the audience directly. Director Aaron Posner ("Stupid F*cking Bird", "District Merchants") also deploys an ensemble of Bunraku-style puppets to portray the other townspeople beyond the seven central characters. This is "Our Town" like you've never seen it. Don't miss this quietly heartbreaking show at the Olney Theatre Center. [less-]
