For showtimes and tickets, call 800-277-1700 or visit www.universoulcircus.com. $10 to $30. -- Keith Ploceck
Teenage Workshop
Teenagers don't spend nearly enough time thinking about themselves. So Lawndale Art Center, in conjunction with its "Layers of Evidence" exhibition, is hosting a two-day workshop where teenagers will use creative writing and improvisational acting to "forge a stronger sense of empowerment and self-esteem." No mention of empowering them to clean their rooms. Noon. Saturday, September 27, and Saturday, October 4. 4912 Main. For information, call 713-528-5858 or visit www.lawndaleartcenter.org. Free. -- Lisa Simon
