A rock music soundtrack accompanies a classic silent film from 7-9 p.m. Tuesday during Silents Synced: “Nosferatu” + Radiohead, at the Kenworthy Performing Arts Centre, 508 S. Main St., Moscow.
Different eras and genres meet at this screening, with songs from Radiohead’s “Kid A” and “Amnesiac” albums playing alongside an unauthorized 1922 adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. German director F.W. Murnau’s film depicts Dracula, played by Max Schreck, as “a nightmarish, spidery creature of bulbous head and taloned claws — perhaps the most genuinely disturbing incarnation of vampirism yet envisioned,” according to the Kenworthy.
Tickets, $8, are at kenworthypac.square.site.

If performing in a local theater production is on your list of things to try this year, check out auditions for APOD Production’s “Fiddler on the Roof,” starting at 6 p.m. Tuesday and next Thursday at the 1912 Center, 412 E. Third St., Moscow.
Those interested (ages 8 to adult) can fill out an audition form and sign up for a time slot at apodproductions.org/auditions and should prepare a one-minute selection of a Broadway song. Auditioners should bring sheet music; an accompanist will be provided.
Rehearsals for the show begin in mid-March, with performances set for June 13-21.
