With the 52nd annual Ann Arbor Film Festival now in full swing through Sunday, you might forget that U-M’s opera theatre department is presenting a production of “The Magic Flute,” or that Wynton Marsalis is playing at Hill on Sunday.

So consider this your friendly reminder, with details about these events and more listed below.

Penelope Spheeris’ Penny Stamps talk, in conjunction with the Ann Arbor Film Festival. Spheeris, one of those rare filmmakers who have established a footprint in both the mainstream film world (as director of “Wayne’s World,” “Black Sheep” and more) and the experimental/art film world (“Suburbia,” “The Decline of Western Civilization”), will talk about her long and varied career on Thursday, March 27 at 5 p.m. at the Michigan Theater, at 603 E. Liberty St. in Ann Arbor. (Admission is free.) While you’re there, you may want to grab a program for the Ann Arbor Film Festival, which runs through Sunday, and – among tons of other programs – offers a retrospective of Spheeris’ work. For more information, visit www.aafilmfest.org or www.michtheater.org.

U-M opera theatre department presents “The Magic Flute.” At once a love story, a whimsical comedy, and an adventure filled with sinister deceptions, “The Magic Flute” is above all an unsurpassed celebration, by turns jubilant and unsettlingly haunting, of the power of music. Sung in German, with English supertitles; the dialogue is in English. Thursday at 7:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., and Sunday at 2 p.m., at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theater, 911 N. University Ave. in Ann Arbor. Tickets cost $22 and $28 ($10 for students), available at 734-764-2538 or http://www.tickets.music.umich.edu.

Joe DeVito at Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase. Popular New York City comic – one of the principal writers for Morgan Spurlock’s blockbuster documentary, “Super Size Me” – whose act is a fast-paced blend of mordantly irreverent observational one-liners and self-deprecating storytelling about male-female relationships, his Italian American family, or current events. Thursday at 8 p.m., and Friday and Saturday at 8 and 10:30 p.m., at 314 E. Liberty in Ann Arbor. Advance, reserved seat tickets cost $10 and $13, while general admission tickets at the door cost $12 and $15. 734-996-9080 or www.aacomedy.com.
