‘The Psychic’ continues through Nov. 6 at Twin City Players in St. Joseph

ST. JOSEPH — “The Psychic” continues through Nov. 6 at Twin City Players, 600 W. Glenlord Road.

Written by Sam Bobrick, the mystery-comedy follows the chaotic life of Adam Webster, a down-on-his-luck writer, who puts a “Psychic Readings” sign in his apartment window in a desperate attempt to make the rent.

The sign soon draws the interest of the lovely and conflicted Laura; her shady husband, Roy; Roy’s mistress; a gangster named Johnny Bubbles; and ace detective Norris Coslow.

SOUTH BEND — M.O.M. performs at 7 p.m. Oct. 29 at Merrimans’ Playhouse, 401 E. Colfax Ave., Suite 135.

Made up of bassist François Moutin, saxophonist and clarinetist Jowee Omicil, and drummer Louis Moutin, the trio started from an unplanned encounter between Omicil and Louis Moutin on the set of the Netflix show “The Eddy” in Paris.

When Louis’ brother François joined them, these three “mômes” (French slang for “kids”) improvised with a completely frameless approach to make music that’s described as joyful, intense, deep and spontaneous.

For years, twin brothers François and Louis Moutin co-led the groups Moutin Factory Quintet and Moutin Reunion Quartet, as well as performing together as the rhythm section for Martial Solal, Jean Michel Pilc and Michel Portal. Moutin Reunion Quartet performed several times at the former Trio's Jazz Club in South Bend.

Of Haitian origins, born and grown in Montreal and now living in Paris, Omicil plays soprano, alto and tenor saxophone as well as clarinet.

Tickets are $20-$10.
