16-LOVE at the Denver Film Center Colfax (Friday-Sunday, $7-$9.75)
Director Adam Lipsius and his Denver-based company Uptown 6 produced this teen tennis flick opening tonight.

If the trailer's any indication, there's bound to be some heartwarming canoodling between stars Lindsey Shaw and Chandler Massey.

The Crane Wife at the Boulder Public Library Canyon Theater (Friday, free)
If the last puppet show you attended was the Casa Bonita variety, you're definitely in for a treat with Margarita Blush's Japanese-inspired adaptation of the traditional folktale The Crane Wife. The custom built puppets and sets by Dimitar Dimitrov and new take on the children's story are sure to be something a little different, and delightful.

Recalcitrant Mimesis at the David B. Smith Gallery
Visit the David B. Smith Gallery tonight for a fresh take on the work of Clyfford Still. Liz Miller will talk about her new art installation, which was inspired by the abstract impressionist's paintings. It's a unique opportunity to pick the artist's brain about these bright, colorful mixed media works.

And don't worry, if you break your arm on the floor, all your friends will be stoked to sign your cast on Monday in homeroom.
