1) Strangely, the Wikipedia page for hip-hop artist Ludacris says his stage name is pronounced “ludicrous” in “American English.” Not exactly. You really should do a “cris” instead of “crous,” because his birth name is Chris Bridges. But like a good rapper, Ludacris loves to play with words: his 1999 debut album was titled Incognegro. And, in a career that’s taken him to the tip-top of hip-hop, he has blossomed into a multifaceted star and public figure. As an actor, he had prominent roles in two movies last year, the action film Fast X and the Christmas comedy Dashing Through the Snow. Along with being a record producer, he is a co-producer of the Broadway musical How to Dance in Ohio, based on a true story about autistic young adults. Ludacris is an avid philanthropist whose homepage is mainly about his nonprofit Ludacris Foundation, with only a back page about himself. And since he’s a self-effacing fellow, we won’t embarrass him by listing his Grammy Awards and platinum hits. Catch Ludacris at the Hollywood Casino at The Meadows in a summery show slated for outdoors. 8 p.m. 210 Racetrack Rd., Washington, PA. (M.V.)
2) Throughline Theatre kicks off their 2024 season with Sam Shepard’s Buried Child, directed by company member Katy Chmura. It takes place in a dilapidated farm home where a family filled with violent tendencies combined with a deep sense of unhappiness. The family holds close a dark secret that shrouds them in guilt that none of them can seem to shake. Buried Child opens tonight at 7:30 p.m. and runs through July 28. Carnegie Stage, 25 W. Main St., Carnegie. (R.H.)
