MONDAY, APRIL 8

Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown at Alamo Drafthouse
Go treat yourself to a big-theater screening of Tarantino's under-appreciated follow-up to Pulp Fiction, 1997's quietly clever Jackie Brown, starring Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson, and Oscar nominee for this film Robert Forster — and co-starring Bridget Fonda, Robert DeNiro, and Michael Keaton. It's playing in the big theater, Theater 1, at Alamo, and there are still a few dozen seats available.
2550 Mission Street, 7 p.m., $16

Charles Busch's Native New Yorker at Oasis
Tony-winning playwright (The Tale of the Allergist's Wife, Psycho Beach Party, Die Mommy Die), actor, screenwriter, singer, and drag performer Charles Busch brings his cabaret show to Oasis in SoMa for one night only. Song selections include "an eclectic songbook from the seventies and early eighties... including the work of Michel Legrand, Rupert Holmes, Stephen Sondheim, Jim Croce among the best of Broadway, film and pop." He's accompanied by longtime collaborator Tom Judson.

TUESDAY, APRIL 9

Odd Salon at Public Works
"San Francisco deserves weird, independent events, and real world gatherings in this increasingly digital age," says Seth Rosenblatt, curator of Odd Salon. This month's salon features, "Six stories of rigorous inquiry and accidental revelations, seeking the unfamiliar and encountering the unknown, and uncovering the uncharted," including stories by Kate O’Donnell (Impossible Worms: The Deep Ocean Discovery that Altered Our Notion of Life), Dan Von Hoyel (Black Before Columbus Came: The African Discovery of America), and Marc Wilson (The (Re)discovery of Heracleion, an Entire City Lost at Sea). Arrive early for cocktails and mingling, with readings starting at 7:30.
Public Works, 161 Erie Street at Mission, 6:30 p.m., $15, find tickets here.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10

Falsettos at the Golden Gate Theater
See this rollicking, hilarious, wrenching, and terrifically complicated musical by William Finn and James Lapine before it leaves San Francisco for LA this weekend. Broadway stars Max von Essen, Nick Adams, and Eden Espinoza all turn in stellar performances in the 1980s-set musical about finding love, creating a blended, LGBT family, and confronting the AIDS era all while trying to throw a child's bar mitzvah. (See SFist's full review here, and an exclusive interview with Adams and von Essen here.)
Golden Gate Theater, 1 Taylor Street at Market, 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., find rush tickets here or advance tickets here.

3rd Annual Boogie's Comedy Slam at the Paramount in Oakland

Featured standups include Mike Epps, Red Grant, Tony Roberts, and Karlous Miller. And some of Cousins' Warriors teammates are expected to be in attendance.

CUESA's 10th Annual Goat Festival
What began as a simple farmers' market ode to goats and goat cheese has exploded in recent years to a major Instagram magnet, with a baby goat petting zoo that is mostly full of adults with cellphones. At this point, the baby goat petting is at waitlist-only, but you can still attend the event for free, and buy tickets for goat cheese tastings.
Ferry Plaza Farmers' Market, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

SUNDAY, APRIL 14

Screening of Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am
As part of the San Francisco International Film Festival, which kicks off Wed. April 10, you should go check out this brand new documentary about the life and work of Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Toni Morrison, who tells her story in her own words. As Variety writes, "An eloquent nonfiction biopic that travels creatively through the past, Timothy Greenfield-Sanders’ film is enlivened both by its own storytelling dexterity and by the participation of its subject, who at 88 years old remains as warm, vibrant, and insightful as ever."
Roxie Theater, 2961 16th Street, 1:00 p.m., $16, find tickets here
