Tonight’s Cult Movie Monday at Actor’s Theatre of Charlotte is a fitting movie for this time of year. The screening of Back to School — directed by Alan Metter and starring Rodney Dangerfield — is about a father who poses as a college student in the hopes of improving his son’s — a misfit student — reputation. But who really wants to go back to school? In the long run, daddy may be a worse example for his son than he thinks … unless that is, you consider buying your way through school something to be proud of. Free. 7:30 p.m. Actor’s Theatre of Charlotte, 650 E. Stonewall St. 704-342-2251. www.actorstheatrecharlotte.org.
