Want some live comedy? Comedian Sivert Rafter is at Hawaiian Brian’s for an encore performance Friday night (he also performed on Thursday). There’s also a comedy show at Mermaid’s with four comedians (Drew Welcher, Michael Brown, Seth Dees, and Raj Suresh).
How about some theatre? TheatreSquared’s New Play Festival continues through the weekend, with staged readings of new plays and workshop performances at Nadine Baum Studios. Here are more details about that.
There’s a free movie playing at Wilson Park Pool, with Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.
There’s even a square dance at Backspace.
There’s also tons of good music all over town, including Groovement and Totojojo at George’s, The Ghoul Goes West at Nomad’s, The Bends, Dead Indian and Buffalo Hustle at Smoke & Barrel to name a few.
