Dubbed by author William S. Burroughs as the “Pope of Trash,” John Waters has maintained a devilish career as a writer, actor, artist, and filmmaker known for such off-the-wall counterculture films as Pink Flamingos, Multiple Maniacs, Female Trouble, and Hairspray in the ‘70s and ‘80s. But beyond his work, his personality and antics have kept him in the spotlight for nearly 60 years. This one-man holiday show promises to drag you deep into the gutter along with the king of filth himself. » Wortham Center for the Performing Arts,18 Biltmore Ave.; Tuesday, 8pm; $50-$125; (828) 257-4530; www.worthamarts.org
