Friday

Hat Night

“The Motherf**ker With the Hat” opens at Trustus Theatre. The production follows a low-level drug dealer as he tries to navigate life after being paroled. Only his drug-addicted love is spending time with a dude who wears a hat. And every person who wears a hat to Trustus on opening night will be eligible to win eight tickets to Trustus’ main stage show. The theater will be taking pictures and posting to Facebook for “likes.” There are prizes for second and third place, too. The show runs through Feb. 23. Showtimes: 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday. Trustus is at 520 Lady St. $15-$22; www.trustus.org or (803) 254-9732
