Note: This is going to be a highly memorable event, and if your FOMO is twitching right now, well, it's doing so with damned good reason. See you there!Sept. 6-9. Wed.-Sat., 8pm. $5-35. -

Henry IV
Shakespeare? Of course. But this kingly classic is directed by Beth Burns for the Hidden Room, is based on a new adaptation by Dr. Ralph Alan Cohen, and features a cast worth shouting about infused with a rowdy glam-rock aesthetic.

Bonus: live music from Shoulders' Todd Kassens.Through Oct. 1. Thu.-Sat., 8pm; Sun., 5pm. $15-30.York Rite Masonic Hall, 311 W. Seventh. -

Pump Project: We Were There
There's photography, and then there's … photography. Especially these days where everybody's got some kind of camera on hand and, like, seven Instagram accounts, it takes a person of magisterial skill and raptor eye to capture the world in ways worth paying attention to. Sandy Carson, frequent Chronicle contributor, is who we're talking about – and this exhibition features a decade's worth of the man's images of Austin concert crowds from 2007 to 2017, shot from the pit, exploring the symbiotic relationship between rock concert fans, the bands, and the photographer at music festivals.Through Sept 23. free. -

Equally adventurous funkateer Fantastic Negrito opens eulogizing The Last Days of Oakland.Sat., Sept. 9, 8pm -
