3. The University of Puget Sound's Jacobsen: Schumann Centennial concert will celebrate Robert Schumann's 200th birthday, as well as pay tribute to cellist Cordelia Wikarski-Miedel who is retiring as Northwest Artist in Residence at UPS.

4. If you've ever acted, directed or "teched" for a play (or even wanted to do any of those things), Tacoma Little Theatre's production of Noises Off is the play to see. In three acts, the audience watches as the cast attempts to rehearse and perform the play Nothing On. "Attempts" is the key word, you see, not because the cast isn't talented or rehearsed - but because the real play, Noises Off, is a farce about the theater. It's a play about putting on a play. And it hits the TLT stage at 7:30 p.m.
5. The Fucking Eagles play The Swiss at 9:30 p.m.
