At the movie theater up ahead, your next stop: The “Twilight Zone.” Iconic and unusual ’60s TV series “The Twilight Zone,” created by Rod Serling, celebrates its 60th anniversary by screening six digitally restored episodes at two Cinemagic locations. The lineup includes “Eye of the Beholder,” originally aired in November 1960. It’s a chilling story about a character named Janet Taylor who undergoes treatment to make her look “normal.”

‘Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical’
8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Portland Ballet Studio Theater, 517 Forest Ave., Portland, $15, under 21 must have guardian. castasideproductions.com
Cast Aside Productions invites you to cast away your troubles for an evening and join them for a musical based on a, dare we say, famous adult film. “Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical” is an off-Broadway show originally performed in 2002, and unlike the film it’s based on, there’s no nudity, and it isn’t quite as racy because musical numbers happen instead of another kind of, ahem, action. Expect plenty of laughs, and should your glasses get streamed up, you can cool down with a cold beverage, as the production is a BYOB affair.

Rest assured, winter is coming, and Teton Gravity Research is going to give you a glorious taste of it by way of its new ski and snowboard film “Winterland.” Catch this screening and you could win a prize from Atomic, Volkl, The North Face or other cool companies.
