Today
Earl Wettstein's "Satiric Dachsund" paintings - Western National Parks Association Store. 12880 N. Vistoso Village Drive, Oro Valley. If you've always wondered what classical art would be like if a sarcastic pack of wiener dogs ruled the earth, this exhibit is for you.

"In the Heat of the Night" - La Placita Village Plaza. 110 S. Church Ave. This 1960s film does not portray Sydney Poitier in the throes of passion, but it did win five Oscars back in the day for its controversial subject matter. 7:30 p.m. $3 donation

Late Night "Alien" Director's Cut - The Loft Cinema, 3233 E. Speedway Blvd. Go for a chance to see some rare new footage, or just sit back and boost your self-esteem by comparing yourself to all the losers around you who would waste a Friday night watching corny puppets try to kill the guy from "Mad About You." 10 p.m. $5
Second Annual Lesbian Short Play Festival - Temple of Music and Art. Cabaret Theatre. 330 S.

Sunday
Monster trucks - Tucson Rodeo Grounds. 4823 S. Sixth Ave. If it doesn't bother you to see perfectly acceptable vehicles get ripped to shreds by evil giant motor trucks, you're either a masochistic freak or a typical guy.
