'Cats,' Christie and nudes highlight the week in arts

'And Then There Were None'

Agatha Christie's classic mystery "And Then There Were None" comes to the UAA Mainstage Theater with an elegant art deco set and actors who, we're assured, have actually worked on their British accents. It's one of Christie's perfect plot lines: 10 strangers are stuck on an island with no contact to the outside world as someone starts killing them, one by one. Who dunnit? You'll have to attend to find out and then swear not to tell anyone else. Performances are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 5 p.m. Sundays through Nov. 6. Actress Lisa-Marie Castro will talk about her thesis on women in Christie's mysteries after the show on Oct. 30. Tickets are available at uaatix.com.

'Calendar Girls'

Take a half-dozen women of a certain age who are willing to do anything — anything — to raise funds for a hospital charity and whadya get? An eye-popping calendar that works right well as a fundraiser but arouses chatter and controversy around the community. Technically based on an actual event, "Calendar Girls" was a hit movie with Helen Mirren and a cast of celluloid veterans. See how a cast of all-star Anchorage actresses handle the material at Cyrano's production, 7 p.m. Thursday-Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday through Nov. 20. Tickets are available at centertix.net.
