4. The Goat or Who is Sylvia? (Wed. Aug. 18)

Edward Albee’s iconoclastic drama starts out realistically, but soon devolves into lunacy with a family drama involving a goat. Evolution Theatre Company presents the play in studio two of the Riffe Center and is not recommended anyone under the age of 17. The show opens Wednesday and continues through the 26th. www.evolutiontheatre.org

5. Alison Arngrim – Book Signing (7 p.m. Thu. Aug 19)

Arngrim, the actress who portrayed Nellie Oleson on Little House on the Prairie, will sign copies of her newest work, Confessions of a Prairie Bitch: How I survived Nellie Oleson and Learned to Love Being Hated. It’s sure to be an interesting night at the Barnes and Noble at the Lennox Town Center on Olentangy River Road, especially considering the flack Arngrim has received over the years for Oleson’s bad-girl behavior. www.bn.com
