What's the story? The estimable First Person Arts presents StorySlam: "I Quit," in which competitors from the audience are given five minutes to tell a tale on the theme, with a $100 prize on the line.
Secret Show
Painted Bride Art Center (230 Vine St.)

Each month, the Painted Bride Art Center gives over its space to someone to put on a Secret Show. What will it be? Nobody knows. This month's curator is director and dramaturge Cara Blouin, who is "art pastor" at the Art Church of West Philadelphia and founder of the Republican Theater Festival. So that's a clue (we think).

Before he became Ziggy Stardust, David Bowie met The Man Who Sold the World on the seminal 1970 album many see as the beginning of glam rock. Bassist Tony Visconti and drummer Woody Woodmansey, who helped shape the album and played with Bowie on his influential 1970s tours, have formed the group Holy Holy to play the record in its entirety (with Glenn Gregory of Heaven 17 as front man).
Her Sister's Secret / The First Legion
International House (3701 Chestnut St.)
7 p.m., Saturday, $9
Edgar G. Ulmer's soapy 1946 drama, Her Sister's Secret, is unusually frank and even-handed for its era, telling the story of a young New Orleans socialite who believes she has been abandoned by a soldier after becoming pregnant during a chance meeting before he ships out during World War II. After her married sister, unable to have children, offers to present the baby as her own, and the soldier returns from the war, things get complicated. The film screens with 1951's The First Legion, a feverish religious drama set in a seminary and directed by melodrama master Douglas Sirk.
