What's a Spring Preview issue without a trip
to the stage? ‘Seussical the Musical’ takes
us there by way of our favorite childhood
characters, and for a decidedly less, um,
‘wholesome’ time, check out the raucous
‘Avenue Q’ (pictured), the naughty puppet
musical with hilarious songs like ‘The
Internet Is for Porn.’ Ain’t that the truth?
‘Suessical’: Run ends Sunday, March 23, at
the Alliance Theatre, 1280 Peachtree St.
NE. 404-733-5000, www.alliancetheatre.org.

Before Gus Van Sant got down to restoring the
Castro into its 1970s heyday for ‘Milk,’ he put
together ‘Paranoid Park,’ his latest film about a
young, pretty guy. In this one, a teenage skater
accidentally kills a security guard and must deal
with the guilt when he keeps his mouth shut. Let's
call it a ray of sunshine. Opens Friday, March 21,
check for showtimes at the Landmark Midtown Art
Cinema, 931 Monroe Drive. 678-495-1424,
