Pencil This In

MOVIES: Seriously, like there is anything else to see this weekend besides Snakes on a Plane. C'mon, you know you wanna.

Everytime // Everywhere // $10.75(ish)

THEATER: One of the few things the Fringe Festival doesn't have, somewhat surprisingly, is a full-fledged outdoor production. If you want to take advantage of good weather this weekend, check out Pulse Ensemble Theatre's urban adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. Directed by Alexa Kelly and performed on a small squash court, the diverse cast gives the tragedy a shot of high-energy that doesn't feel like blasphemy against the Bard, just plenty of fun as an outdoor show should be. - Mallory Jensen

Through August 27, Thurs.-Sun. 8pm // Riverbank State Park [138th & Riverside, South Squash Courts] // Free

MUSIC: The New York Dolls take over the Seaport Music Festival stage tonight. As we mentioned before, this show is definitely going to be a must see. The Dolls are legends, the setting is amazing, the price is right and the weather is cooperating.

Friday // 7pm // Pier 17 // Free

LITERARY FESTIVAL: Head over to Fort Greene for the NY Writers 2006 Fort Greene Park Summer Literary Festival. Take a picnic and enjoy readings from Jhumpa Lahiri, Sapphire, Jacqueline Johnson and Lorenzo Pace, as well as readings from young writers in the organizations free workshops. - Krissa Corbett Cavouras

Saturday // 4:30pm // Fort Greene Park // Free
