If you can’t get enough open mic on Sunday nights, Chen Yang Li will also be hosting a night of it.
Theater
Saturday
Jocelyn’s ABC Adult Cabaret will be performed at Hatbox Theatre at 7:30 p.m. The show, which features a musical theater song for each letter of the alphabet, is at times hilarious and poignant as Jocelyn changes wigs, costumes and characters while showcasing the talent and artistry she is known for. The show is recommended for ages 12 and up due to some adult language in some of the songs. The show will also be performed the next day, Sunday, at 2 p.m. Tickets are $17 general admission, $14 for students, seniors and members and $12 for senior members. Go to hatboxnh.com for tickets and more information.
