It Should be a Nice Fall Day for a Festival

Have fun outside while the weather lasts.

We’ve got the best bets for when the work week is over and you're ready to get out. Check our picks for the activities to hit.

1. INCORRUPTIBLE
Where/When: 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday at , 111 N. Hale St.
Why Go: This is set in 1250 A.D. France. The river has flooded again, the chandler’s shop has gone up in smoke, and Sainte Foy, the monastery’s patron saint, has not worked a miracle in 13 years. Facing competition from a local church claiming miracles from their holy relics, the destitute monks turn to a larcenous one-eyed minstrel for assistance.
Pricing: $13-$16.

2. SHINING CITY
Where/When: 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday at at The College of DuPage, 425 Fawell Blvd., Glen Ellyn.
Why Go: Buffalo Theatre Ensemble presents "Shining City" by Conor McPherson, directed by ensemble member Bryan Burke and featuring ensemble actor Robert Jordan Bailey. Sparse, compelling and frightening, it tells the tale of John, a Dubliner who has been recently widowed, and Ian, his therapist. John walks into Ian’s office for help in dealing with Mari’s horrific auto accident, revealing he’s been haunted by Mari’s death more than figuratively.
Pricing: $31-$33.
