Live Evil Playground (The Musical)
“The story of a Rock n’ Roll dream that never died…but should have,” Live Evil is an autobiographical homage to 80’s metal, awkward teenage childhoods, and comedic rock opera. After winning best of Best of Fringe at Fringe Festival 2008, the show is appearing only through next weekend at the NOH Space (2840 Mariposa at Florida) at 8 pm, for $15 (tickets available here).
Self-Portrait #3 – a mechanical installation by Aaron Geman
And what’s more metal then a huge self portrait/machine housed in a 15,000 square foot warehouse? Local artist Aaron Geman is presenting his largest project yet, with Ghost Town providing the soundtrack for the sculptural performance. From Geman: “the portrait illustrates the cyclical struggle of a man that is losing himself in search of his goals.” Free, doors at 7 pm, show at 8 pm at 6025 3rd Street in Bayview.
