 Best Of Cleveland Party
This bash is your backstage pass to the top players in town from wine and tacos to yoga and shoes. Head to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum to get all access to winners of the editors’ and readers’ picks from Cleveland Magazine’s Best of Cleveland issue with vendors including Saucy Brew Works, Red, the Steakhouse and TownHall. Cleveland's Star 102's Jen Toohey and Tim Richards take the stage as emcees.

Marjorie Prime
This drama is the perfect play for fans of Black Mirror. Like an episode of the popular sci-fi anthology, Marjorie Prime imagines a future where technology becomes a substitute for human connection. The 2015 Pulitzer Prize finalist follows an elderly woman who finds herself with artificial intelligence version of her late husband that’s meant to save her fading memories. But the real reason to see this Dobama Theatre production is the opportunity to witness the stunning local actress, 88-year-old Dorothy Silver, in the acclaimed role. $30-$32, Oct. 13-Nov. 12, 8 p.m., 2340 Lee Road, Cleveland Heights, dobama.org

Trick or Treat Yo Self
There’s no denying yourself this Saturday. Channel Park & Recreation’s Tom Haverford and Donna Meagle and “Treat Yo Self.” Fragrances, massages and $5 pumpkin spice mimosas (!)— yep, it’s all there for Yuzu’s Halloween version of the TV holiday: Trick or Treat Yo Self Day. If you love the finer things, carve a jack-o’-lantern for a chance to enter a raffle for prizes such as fragrance, wine and chocolate. Get ready to swipe that card at pop-up shops from local boutiques and beauticians. Free, Oct. 14, 12:30–4 p.m., 13603 Madison Ave., Lakewood, yuzulakewood.com
