“THE CLOTH PEDDLER”

Azerbaijan is at it again! It’s the one-night-only performance of the globally renowned comedy operetta.

Sat. 7:30 p.m. Free. (310) 741-7405. SUN SEPT 8

“EVE2”

Catch it before it closes! It’s the last showing of the Bootleg Theatre’s sensual and surreal take on the story of Adam and Eve. Set in a hospital morgue that loses power in a massive electrical outage, the play explores time, space (their collision) and asks the “what if’s” about the Genesis story we all know. Sun. 2 p.m. $20 (general), $15 (students, seniors). Bootleg Theatre, 2220 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles. (213) 389-3856. MON SEPT 9

Mon. 7:30 p.m.-10:30 p.m. $15. Kahal Joseph Congregation, 10505 W. Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles. (323) 272-4574. “>witzendlive.com.
