FILM: It’s not Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo, but The Grand Cinema screens In the Heights — a bright, vibrant crowd-pleaser that celebrates all the joys of summer in the city. Director Jon M.

Sanity’s short and thin enough as it was. You sent them away to be in a Tacoma Little Theatre play. Many other parents did the same. It was something for those who love their kids … but were sick of them. Well, as know, it paid off. Your kids are stars! And, it’s time for them to have their say. Tonight, Tacoma Little Theatre hosts a special episode of “Castmates” as TLT Managing Artistic Director Chris Serface talks to the young performers and their adult counterparts who have been featured in TLT’s mainstage shows.

COMEDY: Tonight, the Tacoma Comedy Club hosts Jared Freid, a comedian based out of New York City by way of the Boston suburbs. His comedy is current and reflects the ordinary daily thoughts of everyone you know, especially if everyone you know is a millennial, obsessed with dating apps, trying to be a real adult and worried about their body. (For the record, Jared’s mom thinks his body is “just fine”). 7:30 and 10 p.m., 933 Market St., Tacoma
