Night Moves
It takes more than a little confidence to filch your band’s name from a Bob Seger hit from 1976 and then not fully, ironically disassociate yourself from Seger’s style. Indeed, without sounding anything like a cover band, or even a descendent, Night Moves, an indie band out of Minneapolis, twines together pop rock hooks with the heartland’s strum and twang. Tractor Tavern, $12
Sept 16 & 17
National Theatre Live: Fleabag
Before there was Fleabag, an eight-time Emmy-nominated Amazon series, there was Fleabag, a one-woman play premiering at the 2016 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge once again takes on the titular role, recounting the story of a young narcissistic Londoner struggling to keep her guinea pig-themed cafe afloat after the semi-accidental death of her best friend. Waller-Bridge gives such a thrilling performance, you won’t even realize the production isn’t actually live. SIFF Film Center, $20

Blood Water Paint
Joy McCullough’s Blood Water Paint (a play, later adapted into a novel) tells the story of Artemisia Gentileschi, a 17th century Italian painter. After a tutor rapes her, Gentileschi takes him to trial (the real transcripts still exist), which McCullough folds together with Gentileschi consulting her favorite painting subjects—two Biblical women. This Macha Theatre production adds new, aerial choreography to the piece. 12th Avenue Arts, $25–$30
