Teseracte Players of Boston present Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-long Blog

Insider Picks
A no-brainer for us to say, but the Salem Jazz & Soul Festival down at the Willows is the place to be. It is one of the largest, musical events in Salem with lots of talent on deck and the weather should be great.
I just checked their website and Star Trek is definitely not showing at Cinema Salem
I totally missed out on seeing it and now the nearest place still showing it is the IMAX at the aquarium in Boston.
Isn’t Cinema Salem showing the “Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog” tomorrow, and people are dressing up and going as their favorite characters like penny, the hammer, moist…?
i heard some talk of this amongst the nerdy.
Sorry Julia-I prepared the movie section last night and it appears the cinema updated their site today. Movies & times duly updated.
Christine: while that’s not listed on the cinema’s website, after a bit of digging it appears that the Teseracte Players of Boston will be performing Dr. Horrible “Rocky Horror”-style at Cinema Salem tomorrow night at 10pm with a floor show before the movie. Cost is $10.
After you leave the bars at 1AM, be sure to yell out WHOOOOOO!!!
