THEATER: "Keep Tightly Closed in a Cool Dry Place" -- a jail cell drama, written by Megan Terry -- features the delightful tale of three men (played by dames!) who rape, kill, plot, and dream. Hot. (But don't worry if you can't make it tonight, the theatrical shanking happens tomorrow night as well.)
8 p.m. // Mama Calizo's Voice Factory (1519 Mission) // $15
ART: Head on downtown to catch "Trigger" - a show featuring paintings (Krescent Carasso), shackmaking (Jesse Schlesinger), light installations (Daniel Blomquist), collage pieces (Michael Addison Mersereau), fashion designs (Trigger Collective member Hellyn Teng Mersereau and Lara Grant), and bands the Hmmm and Lilofee. Sounds terribly cultured, yes? Yes.
9 p.m. // 111 Minna Gallery (111 Minna) // $10
FILM: Who knew a documentary about a piano gets made could be all sorts of interesting? But Note by Note: The Making of the Steinway L1037 is. From the "forests of Alaska to the stage of Carnegie Hall," see how this wondrous instrument is made.
7:30 p.m. & 9:30 p.m. // Sundance Kabuki Cinemas (1881 Post)
