“MY SISTER IN THIS HOUSE” $15-$18 This drama was inspired by an actual incident that took place in the French town of Le Mans during the 1930s. The story is centered on two servant sisters attached to the burgeois Danzard household. Under the weight of the Danzards’ authority and the rigid lines of class distinction, the sisters cling to each other until a haunting and stunning explosion of both emotion and violence. The curtain time for all performances is 8 p.m. There will be two Saturday matinee performances Saturday, Oct. 17 & 24 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons, $18 Friday nights, and $20 on Saturday nights. Bath House Cultural Center, 521 E. Lawther.

Get Unplugged

I N THE C or NE r of THE DINING room, a woman types on a laptop as her infant sleeps in a carrier nearby. It’s a common scene at Highlands Café: This is a place neighbors linger over their laptops or a cup of coffee. And it’s intended to be a community gathering place. Everything here is a reflection of Lake Highlands, down to the local art on the walls, and even some menu items like the pasta salad, which was inspired by a Lake Highlands Women’s Club luncheon recipe. Keeping with that theme, the restaurant is celebrating its five-year anniversary by inviting neighbors to submit their own recipe ideas, one of which will become a daily dinner special in November. There’s also a community celebration in the works, so check the restaurant’s website beginning Oct. 1 for details.
