A little something for everyone tonight!

Buenos Jueves! That's Happy Thursday for all you non-Spanish speakers out there. Well, we are near the end of the week already and I can't get over all of the great shows and events the Granite State has coming up just this weekend alone - I have a feeling this summer is just going to be kickin for entertainment in the state!

The other night, I headed over to Concord's Red River Theatres to catch their I Love a Mystery film series, which is really just a brilliant idea - and, thankfully, I believe they are going to keep these kinds of series going! I watched the ultimate "thunderstorm" classic, The Spiral Staircase, which is great if you haven't seen it! Amazing camera effects for its time, great performances all around, and although it came out in 1945, its still pretty darn creepy. You have one last chance to catch it tonight at 7:00 p.m. - make sure to get your tickets soon, because the one I went to was all but sold out! They'll finish out the series with The Kennel Murder Case (April 22-14) and Witness for the Prosecution (April 29-May 1), so don't miss it - it's really a lot of fun!

If comedy is what you are seeking tonight, those hilarious folks from Stranger Than Fiction will be performing live at The Barley House in Concord tonight at 8:00 p.m. And who couldn't stand to laugh their ass off all night, am I right?

Okay, if film or comedy doesn't grab you, there are some great live shows around the state tonight:

• LACONIA - Sworn Testimony (7:00 p.m., Awakenings)
• HANOVER - Dan Weintraub (8:00 p.m., Murphy's)
• KEENE - Last Chance (9:00 p.m., Gino's Bar)
• MANCHESTER - Mr. Vertigo and Living Syndication (8:00 p.m., Milly's)
