This week, romantic show tunes and piano stylings, layers of portraits, and a gut wrenching play about a parent-teacher conference.

Minnesota Museum of American Art curator Christina Chang found 

 to be a refreshing immersion in portraiture art. Christina admires 

Labovitz's technique of layering portraits

 of family, friends, and strangers in a way that gives the pieces added depth and mystery. This is the final weekend of the show at the Burnet Gallery at Le Meridien Chambers in Minneapolis.

Anoka comedy improviser Jake Scott saw a preview performance of 

 last summer, and he liked it so much he's going to see it again. The cabaret style concert features singers Joey Clark and Andrea Leap, plus pianist Jerry Rubino in an evening of romantic musical theater. It's being remounted at Nautilus Music Theater in St. Paul, Feb. 28 through March 2 at 7:30 p.m.

If you're a parent of school-aged children, as is Twin Cities arts and non-profit management consultant Bethany Gladhill, you'll be drawn to 

 at Pillsbury House Theatre in Minneapolis. But prepare yourself. The one-act play is a harrowing depiction of a parent/teacher conference between a grieving mother and a beleaguered teacher. Through March 23.
