Hedda Gabler
Don’t miss the last chance to see the Mauckingbird Theatre Company’s production of Hedda Gabler. Caroline Kava’s lesbian adaptation stays true to the classic tale by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. It explores socioeconomic divides, power and the search for personal and sexual identity, with local actor Dito van Reigersberg as George Tesman and Sarah Sanford as Miss Eilert Lovborg, Hedda’s true love. If Miss Martha Graham Cracker can’t persuade you to see the show, nothing will. Hedda Gabler plays its final show Thursday at 7:30 p.m.

BIRD BRAIN Projects
Birds and dancing don’t have much, if anything, in common. But Jennifer Monson and her experimental dance troupe bring the two together for her informance, BIRD BRAIN. For eight years, Monson studied the migratory patterns and habits of ducks, geese and gray whales from around the world and connected the natural world to the urban world through her performance. For $15, join Monson at the Performance Garage for an in-depth discussion of her project and video excerpts from Urban Migration.
