    Theatre

    Pet Dick: The Found Tapes

    Wait, is this even theatre? Should it be listed somewhere else? The facts are: It's a professional audio performance accessed through the internet; it's dramatically funny (or funnily dramatic); it's from theatre powerhouse Jarrott Productions. Especially because of that last thing, here is where we're pimping this Carlo Lorenzo Garcia-scripted work about how "in 1969, in rural Illinois, private investigator Labinowicz documented on micro-cassette tapes his investigations into a series of unexplained pet deaths over the course of 20 years."
    Available through Aug. 31. $15-18.
