Sound the Alarm, Stop Making Sense, Tinfoil Hat Cowboys, Rewind to the 80s. No, it’s not a presidential debate.

This week offers up eclectic choices from “Barbie” to salsa. Washington Park is a hopping place and if art is your thing, Kroner and Pendleton have interesting offerings.

The fall arts season is in full swing. First off, the Cincinnati theater scene is pretty hoppin’ right now. Secondly, there’s a lot happening around the FotoFocus Biennial, so keep that in mind when you’re looking to get your FIX.
