By sheer coincidence this time around, most of the stuff is on Thursday night as of the time of first posting, but as always I may have stuff to add to Friday, Saturday, and Sunday as the week goes on.
As always, if you find out about a good event here, tell your friends about this blog, like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, and check back every week.

Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-Ass Wit of Molly Ivins, Main Street Theater: Chelsea Market, Wed-Thu 7:30pm, Sat 8pm, Sun 7pm, $20/$32/$32/$36 (+fees), tickets available online. From the description: “Red Hot Patriot is a hysterically funny, down-to-earth, truly kick-ass story of the unsinkable Molly Ivins, the famously brassy newspaper columnist and best-selling author. A true Texas original, Ivins was a sharp-tongued wit who skewered the political establishment and the “good ol’ boys” with her unforgettable humor and wisdom. Written by twin sisters Margaret Engel and Allison Engel, themselves longtime journalists, the play celebrates Ivins’ courage and tenacity.” Recommended for mature audiences only due to language. 12-REDHOT
