MONDAY
MUSIC
Party for Michael
“If you spend much time on Capitol Hill, chances are high you’ve encountered Michael Loftus’s work. … You a foodie? You’ve probably eaten something he helped put together. Go to shows? If you’ve seen Deadkill or “Grindr-core” group Sashay, you’ve seen Mikey in action. Unfortunately, Mikey had to undergo some severe hand surgery recently and that’s hampered his ability to work. Tonight the restaurant and music community come together to help one of their own. And good causes aside, you shouldn’t miss any opportunity to catch the acerbic slash-and-skronk of Constant Lovers and Blood Drugs.”
THEATER
The Birds
Strawberry Theatre Workshop pits two women (Sarah Harlett and Meme Garcia) and one man (Shawn Belyea) against ALL THE BIRDS IN THE WORLD UNITED TO ATTACK AND DESTROY HUMANKIND in Conor McPherson’s 2009 stage adaptation of The Birds, based on Daphne du Maurier’s 1952 short story (which also inspired Hitchock’s 1963 horror/thriller flick, which has aged poorly and which the play in no way resembles). The cast of this claustrophobic, beautifully designed production also features Stranger Arts & Music Editor Sean Nelson, but don’t let that stop you. (Also Thurs-Sat)
