What do you get when you take Mystery Science Theater 3000, The Big Lebowski, Verdi’s Requiem and Spongebob Squarepants and mix them all together?

That’s easy ... it’s this week’s Unlimited Arts Calendar.

But that’s not all. There’s much more, including Alan Parsons, Patton Oswalt and La Cage Aux Folles. Or, if interpretive dance is more your style, there is an event that uses the art form to promote renewable energy.

Something for everyone, surely.
