Theater

This weekend at BAM: John Gabriel Borkman by Ibsen with Fiona Shaw, Alan Rickman, Abbey Theater said to have an amazing set and, of course, stellar acting. And hey, it’s Ibsen, one of the great greats.

This weekend at St. Ann’s: The Interminable Suicide of Gregory Church by Daniel Kitson and it’s funny.

This weekend at Gallery Players: The Drowsy Chaperone: Take a spin on our narrator’s turntable and dive into the world of madcap musical mayhem and mischief as the cast album of his favorite Broadway show bursts to life in his living room. It’s the tale of a brazen follies starlet giving up the stage for love, and all the zany guests who’ve gathered for her wedding, including the gin-soaked chaperone assigned to keep a watchful eye, albeit at half-mast, on this motley crew.

Music

Sunday, January 30 at Barbes at 7PM: Hot Holy Mess is Brooklyn’s own dirty church band. Conceived in a dream that Skye Steele had the night after a near-fatal encounter with a mountain lion in Montana’s Bitterroot Valley last January, the Hot Holy Mess will draw an astral circle around the room within which performers and participants co-mingle in song singing, musical reflection, poetic interjection, and dancing.
