But if you’re interested in dryness and mundane family outings, weather this weekend’s storm indoors and emerge with $15-$20 on Wednesday at Lucy’s Hat Shop (247 Market Street) to see Brat Productions’s, latest spaghetti-western rock musical The Last Plot in Revenge, showing June 12th-29th. Written by Brian Grace-Duff and directed by John Clancy  with music from Peter Gaffney, Brat Productions presents dinner theater set in Revenge, Montana, a town rife with whiskey, harlots, charlatans, gunmen, spaghetti, and one enticing vacant cemetery plot.
