Cabaret
ARTS: CABARET Wish it were purely a historical piece, but alas. John Kander and Fred Ebb’s 1966 amusical Cabaret, about a nightclub performer, a lovelorn writer and the rise of Nazism during the last days of Germany’s Weimar Republic, always seems to comment on the world we live in no matter when it’s staged, because we’ll always suffer fascism and we’ll always turn to art to help defend against it. Majestic Repertory Theatre, ever ready to confront and inspire, presents an immersive staging of this classic, with choreography by Tracey Langran Corea, music by Laurence Sobel and direction by company founder Troy Heard. 7 p.m.,

FOOD & DRINK: VEGAS VALLEY WINERY ANNIVERSARY PARTY When sommelier and food and beverage executive Charlie Peters went to start a winemaking school, he found out that Nevada had a law prohibiting anyone from operating a winery in a county with over 100,000 people. Undeterred, he lobbied the Legislature, which in 2005 passed legislation to undo the obscure and arbitrary law. Even though Peters is no longer with us, his legacy lives on through Vegas Valley Winery, which is throwing a classic Vegas-style party to celebrate its seventh anniversary this year. The casino-themed party will feature entertainment and of course, award-winning, locally produced wines. Guests are encouraged to dress in old Vegas-inspired cocktail attire in black, white, red and gold (think the Rat Pack and Ann-Margret). VIP guests get pre-party admission, access to a charcuterie station, a port-tasting station, a dessert table and exclusive tastings. 7 p.m., $35-$85, Vegas Valley Winery, eventbrite.com. –Shannon Miller

Yo Yolie
MISC: FILM: THE ATOMIC CAFE Documentary filmmaker Kevin Rafferty was a bomb-thrower. Over the course of his storied career, he directed keen-eyed examinations of the tobacco industry (1999’s The Last Cigarette) and white supremacist groups (1991’s Blood in the Face), and as a cinematographer, he taught the craft of directing to Michael Moore over the production of his first film, 1989’s Roger & Me. But the biggest bang Rafferty ever made was The Atomic Cafe, his 1982 film about America’s flirtation with nuclear warfare, told through an artfully assembled collage of propaganda footage from the Cold War era. It’s as funny as it is terrifying. 6 p.m., $13, Beverly Theater, thebeverlytheater.com. –Geoff Carter

MUSIC: FRANKIE MORENO 7 p.m., Myron’s, thesmithcenter.com
MUSIC: GIRL IN A COMA This scrappy San Antonio girl trio, whose cheeky name is inspired by the first single from The Smiths’ Strangeways, Here We Come, seems to have made a full recovery with the announcement of a new album and its first Vegas show in more than a decade. Girl in a Coma took the 2010s by storm with a torrent of indie rock hits, catching the eye of music icon Joan Jett, who signed the band to her Blackheart Records label. The band has supported numerous artists on tour, including Morrissey, Sia, and Tegan and Sara. And as they make their way to Swan Dive, they’ll be joined by Elevated Undergrounds, a homegrown rock quartet and its fearless, back-bending frontwoman Gabbi Fisher. We wouldn’t advise you miss it. 8 p.m., $25, Swan Dive, dice.fm. –Amber Sampson
