SUNDAY: Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog

Before he began working on this summer’s mega-blockbuster The Avengers, Joss Whedon demonstrated his love for comic books in more modest ways. His comic adaptations of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Serenity fleshed out characters and stories from Whedon’s beloved television shows. His run on Astonishing X-Men earned him critical acclaim and a coveted Eisner Award. But it’s the three-act webseries Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog which allowed Whedon to push his love for comic books in startlingly new directions. This musical about the lovably villainous and villainously lovelorn Dr. Horrible (Neil Patrick Harris) reverses the standard superhero formula, compelling viewers to root for the mad scientist with “a Ph.D in Horribleness.” The Rotunda will be screening the miniseries in its entirety as well as offering games, refreshments, and a raffle drawing — all for a less than horrible cause. All proceeds from the event benefit Equality Now, a Whedon-sponsored organization dedicated to ending violence and discrimination against women.

Sun., Sept. 23, 2 p.m., $8-$10, The Rotunda, 4014 Walnut St., 215-573-3234, therotunda.org.
