American Blood Song: A Puppet Operetta of the Donner Party
Oh, holy shit. That unstoppable Trouble Puppet crew, led by Connor Hopkins, often as sick and twisted as they are brilliant – and, yeah, they've been mind-bogglingly good at times – returns with a true-historical tale of the sort of privilege, entitlement, and hubris that leads to nation-building … and sometimes cannibalism. This spectacle is performed by Zac Crofford, Caroline Reck, Marina DeYoe-Pedraza, Indigo Rael, Jay Young, Zac Carr, and Melissa Vogt. It's a musical, too, with an original score by Mother Falcon. Recommended, but note: This is not the sort of puppet show you wanna take your smaller kids to – unless you've been feeding them long pig all this time.Through Aug. 17. Thu.-Sun., 8pm. $15-35. -

Pedro the Lion, Mewithoutyou [outside]
Since the turn of the century, both Pedro the Lion and Mewithoutyou have wrestled with spirituality. Philadelphia’s latter act functions as experimental emo helmed by Aaron Weiss’ impassioned, sermon-like vocals and existentialism. In the former, Seattle’s David Bazan’s thoughtful songwriting and even-keeled coo skews more personal. He revived his beloved moniker in 2017 after a 12-year hiatus.Sat., Aug. 10, 9pm -
