The cemetery’s first playwright artist-in-residence, Patrick Gabridge, has written two sets of five plays; here are the first, inspired by the site’s environment, including spotted salamanders in Consecration Dell, birders at Auburn Lake and historic debates between naturalists who are buried throughout.

Tickets are $10 in advance; $12 day of event for this 18-plus event. The Charles Hayden Planetarium gets used for all sorts of things in this nightlife series, but in this case programmers invite people to use it as a unique setting in which to lay back and take in the Diablo Cody-penned feminist horror comedy “Jennifer’s Body,” another box office flop that found its audience over time and became a cult classic. Information is here.

Friday

Cash bar. Information is here.

Old School Game Show’s Fantasy Special from 8 to 11 p.m. at Oberon, 2 Arrow St., Harvard Square. Tickets are $20 to $25.

Third Annual Fan Fiction Theatre from 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday at Comicazi, 407 Highland Ave., Davis Square, Somerville. Tickets are $5. While most fans never need to stray from pop culture’s official versions, others feel the urge to explore whether Hermione had more chemistry with Harry than with Ron or if the Justice League works better as a western – and this 18-plus night by the Ladies of Comicazi group includes plenty of unauthorized reimaginings ranging from sophisticated to the mortifying stuff written back in college with you and your friends as the X-Men. Information is here.

“Haber: A New Musical” concert-style staged reading from 7:30 to 10 p.m. at The Center for Arts at the Armory, 191 Highland Ave., Somerville. Tickets are $15 (with fees, $17.55). Organizers promise a “fun show,” which just makes the premise of this musical more intriguing – Haber won the Nobel Prize for inventing processes that make modern agriculture possible, but his work also led directly to the chemical weapons behind some of the most hellish aspects of World War I, and then to Zyklon B, used to murder millions of Jews during the Holocaust. Did we mention he was Jewish? Wife and fellow chemist Clara Immerwahr is also in this new work with book, music and lyrics by Eric Kofman and orchestrations by Andres Ballesteros, presumably up until her suicide in 1915. Information is here.
