In celebration of the crappy economy, A Noise Within invites impoverished theatergoers to a special pay-what-you-can performance of Oliver Twist. If Charles Dickens' timeworn story about a British orphan reduced to a life of crime helps you cheer up during this financial crisis, head over any time after 2 p.m., when passes for that evening go on sale for cold, hard cash only. The theater suggests a minimum of $10, but if you give $1, no one will ask, “Please, sir, can I have some more?”
234 S. Brand Blvd., Glendale; 8 p.m.; pay what you can
