This is kind of a no-brainer for a great night out:  the excellent and personable pianist Christopher O'Riley performs piano pieces accompanied by Basil Twists wonderful company of puppeteers in the Symphonie Fantastique tank (I mean the puppets and often the puppeteers are in the tank, not the pianist).  I've heard that the last edition of this cabaret show focused a lot on Radiohead transcriptions.  We'll see what this one is like.  (If you haven't seen Symphonie Fantastique yet, you can go to the 4:00 PM show and make it a double-header!)

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  You know what?  A Sunday in August is actually a time when you might be able to get into the best new restaurant in the City, Frenchette.
