Bard of Avon, meet Homer of Springfield: Rick Miller has found a way to reinvent you both. In MacHomer: The Simpsons Do Macbeth, the Montreal-based writer-performer marries one of TV’s funniest comedies and one of Shakespeare’s bloodiest tragedies in a one-man show that features more than 50 voices (Marge as Lady Macbeth, Mr. Burns as the very excellent King Duncan, and, of course, Homey as the power-hungry titular leader) and a script that remains—no kidding—85 percent Shakespeare. Complemented by more than 300 color slides hand-painted by Miller himself and an original musical score, MacHomer creatively melds the man who hallucinates daggers with the man who hallucinates doughnuts. The toil and trouble begins at 8 p.m. at the University of Maryland’s Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center’s Kay Theatre, University Boulevard and Stadium Drive, College Park. $20. (301) 405-2787.
