To remember the tragedy of the R.M.S. Titanic 100 years later, a concert featuring period-inspired music called “Hear the Titanic” will be performed at Dance Place 2 Studio (3305 8th St., NE) on Saturday night at 7.
Playwright Michael Merino arranged this concert to kick off his play, “Hemispheric Dysfunctionalism and the Cortical Titanic.” Part of the evening’s entertainment includes cast members such as Jefferson Farber (who’s openly gay) and Keith Waters reading scenes from the play.
Tickets are $20. For more information, visit 5thdentist.com.
