Sign o’ the local theater scene picking back up: Emigrant Theater, a newcomer company, opens a pretty cool-sounding show this evening. Check what we wrote about it for the theater page of our September issue, in So Little Time (or the section formerly known as “Broken Clock”). From here on out ’til November the theatergoing gets better and better. And then all the holiday shows start.
Cat Power is playing the Varsity! Two shows on Saturday!! (The Varsity is a new favorite venue of The Rake, by the way. We did our fall fashion shoot there, and the folks who work there were fabulously accommodating!)
The Lit 6 Project is doing their first gig at the Ritz Theater. An early email from one of the masterminds, Mr. Geoff Herbach, indicates how intimidating the guys and the gal of “The Six” find this. It’s a big, bad beautiful venue–replete with velvet curtain and stage lighting (which the six are not at all using).
Finalement: Happy Labor Day! Every year, I look forward to the newspaper coverage of this holiday because I so enjoy reading all the anti- and pro-Wal-Mart letters as well as the “what’s happened to the American middle class?” essays. (Answer: they’re alive and living in Las Vegas.)
