A Twist on French
We already know them for their fries, kisses, berets and baguettes. Now, get a handle on French hair accessories. Exit Art’s plethora of pieces by Laurent Olivier adds a level of ooh la la that scrunchies and Goody bands could only hope to replicate. Butterfly headbands that don’t pinch, filigree barrettes with patented clasps and effortless side combs come styled with that other uncanny French trait—simple sophistication.
Exit Art, 201 Gulf of Mexico Dr., Ste. 8, Longboat Key, 941-387-7395; 5380 Gulf of Mexico Dr., Ste. 102, Longboat Key, 941-383-4099; 26 North Blvd. of Presidents, Sarasota, 941-388-2827; 7480 Cortez Rd. W., Bradenton, 941-794-2540

DRAMA: THE DRAWER BOY, FSU Center for the Performing Arts, 8pm
The Banyan Theater Company presents The Drawer Boy, Michael Healey’s poignant drama about the complex ties that bind a pair of World War II veterans. Boyhood friends Morgan and Angus have been living together as farmers since they returned home from the war. Angus suffered a brain injury during the war that left him with little capacity for memory. Things change when Miles, a young actor, comes to the farm to help the men. There’s plenty of humor as the city kid experiences life on the farm, but Miles’ well-intentioned meddling leads to catastrophic changes in each of their lives. Directed by Carole Kleinberg, The Drawer Boy stars Ken Ferrigni, Kenneth Tigar and Don Walker. After tonight’s performance, there will be a play talk—an informal discussion with the cast immediately following the show. This play will be performed through August 1. The Jane B. Cook Theatre, FSU Center for the Performing Arts, 5555 North Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, 941-552-1032.

Welcome to the Club
The turkey club has proved to be a faithful mainstay on menus since the dawn of time—it seems like that, at least. But the time has come for a new species of club to get some attention. Enter Station 400’s Fried Green Tomato Club—a sandwich topped with fried green tomatoes, crispy bacon, bibb lettuce and zesty herb aioli. Breathe deep when the waitress glides by to take your order, because this marks the most pivotal moment in the entire lunch experience. Ask for the seared tuna variety. The nutty, meaty flavor is a gratifying twist on the standard club’s protein source, and the saltiness of the bacon adds to its appeal. The tuna plays off the zing of the garlic in the herb aioli, especially when captured in the same bite as a lush fried green tomato. Club lovers, we promise we will overlook it if you choose to remain faithful to the traditional turkey. Just make sure that tuna at least crosses your mind when eating a club at Station 400.
