Through elaborate dances and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named “Rocky.” Costumes are encouraged but not required. This showing will include a live cast by Amber’s Sweets and will be hosted by Rob Roberts! General $21.50 VIP $35
SMART PEOPLE
Thru July 24 Capital Stage 2215 J St, Sac CapStage.org
It is the eve of Obama’s first election. Four of Harvard University’s brightest; a surgeon, an actress, a psychologist, and a neuropsychiatrist, are all interested in different aspects of the brain, particularly how it responds to race. But like all smart people, they are also searching for love, success, and identity in their own lives. Lydia R. Diamond brings these characters together in this sharp, witty play about social and sexual politics.
PROCLIVITY FOR KITING
Imagine, for a moment, a city under siege. Government prohibitions are multiplying (for the good of the people). Strawberry pie is illegal. All bicycle tires, confiscated. The word effervescent has been outlawed. Kite Flying, once a popular pastime, is now a capital offense. David and Julia are making the best of things when a mysterious tapping starts to emanate from their apartment wall. As their suspicions proliferate, their world unravels.
