What could be scarier on the day after Halloween than not knowing what will happen next? Yet that spontaneity is exactly what to expect at Max 10 on the first Monday of the month, especially so this month. The brainchild of innovative choreographers Cid Pearlman, David King and Marcus Kuiland-Lozario, Max 10 has taken on a life of its own as 10 performers are given 10 minutes max (hence the series' title) to strut their stuff. The efforts range from debuts to known figures trying something new. A post performance reception with the performers gives audience members a chance for feedback and a beer included in the $10 ticket price.

First Monday of every month, 7:30 p.m. Starts: Oct. 4. Continues through July 4, 2010
