(THEATRICAL FAREWELL) You never even knew there was an "underground
murder-ballad proscenium opera house" in your own backyard, did you?
Bid a teary adieu to Vodvil Theater (run by the folks behind such delectable
objets de théâtre as
Her Phantom Limb and
See-Saw) with this party and performance of dark love songs by Serge Gainsbourg, Nick Cave, and more. Plus: prizes, booze, and
a good cause (it benefits the film adaptation of Samuel Barber's opera). (
Vodvil Theater,
1408 18th Ave. 8 pm, $10-–$20 at the door.) ANNIE WAGNER
