ARTS: THE HOUSE ON WATCH HILL Opening Friday at Vegas Theatre Company, The House on Watch Hill is a must-see for anyone partial to horror, ’80s nostalgia and musical theater. The story is set in 1984, following a group of misfit kids who spend their last summer before high school building a haunted house. Told from their perspective, it explores themes of identity and fitting in. With witty dialogue, a live band, standout performances from local actors and an irresistible score, this production—written by Richard Oberacker and Robert Taylor and directed by Daz Weller—captures the spirit of growing up on the fringes while blending humor and heart.

MISC: FILM: WE ARE FUGAZI FROM WASHINGTON, D.C. There’s only one good way to learn about Fugazi, and that’s by listening to lots and lots of Fugazi. This “non-documentary” about the influential Washington, D.C.-born post-hardcore punk band takes that idea to heart, giving you 96 minutes of vintage live footage shot by fans and “curated” by Joe Gross, Joseph Pattisall and Heavy Metal Parking Lot director Jeff Krulik. The resulting film, structured like one of the band’s sets, tells you all you need to know about the group that made “Waiting Room,” “Repeater” and “Public Witness Program”—and the fans who loved this explosive sound enough to get up real close to it with expensive camera gear. 2:15 p.m. (& 9/30, 8:30 p.m.), $13, Beverly Theater, thebeverlytheater.com. –Geoff Carter

Monday, September 30

Still Woozy

Still Woozy

MUSIC: STILL WOOZY A Bay Area native with a penchant for DIY indie pop, Still Woozy is at his best when he’s alone. The “Goodie Bag” producer and singer-songwriter has made a name for himself creating summery, psych-pop cuts from within his garage, and many of those have appeared in game soundtracks and Netflix films like 2024’s Anyone But You. More recently, he’s enlisted the help of writer and producers Ian Fitchuk (Leon Bridges, Kacey Musgraves) and Buddy Ross (Frank Ocean) to work on Loveseat, a sophomore release that captures all the lightheaded euphoria of young love. “I didn’t want to make the same record twice. I wanted to push myself and try to capture the vibe I wanted but also push myself to grow lyrically and songwriting-wise,” he tells the Weekly. Read our complete interview now before his Vegas visit at lasvegasweekly.com.8 p.m., $40-$175, Theater at Virgin, axs.com. –Amber Sampson

COMEDY: BUTCH BRADLEY 11:30 p.m., & 10/2, Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club, ticketmaster.com.

MUSIC: GLASS BEAMS A mystifying Melbourne trio forged by Indian-Australian artist Rajan Silva, Glass Beams weaves a tapestry of traditional Indian elements into its music with dreamy flourishes of psychedelic funk. The group creates a sound that’s both transportive and spellbinding, and its enigmatic nature is amplified by the artists’ donning of bejeweled masks while performing cuts from the Mahal and Mirage EPs. Fans of the instrumental works of Khruangbin will recognize a similar, hip-swaying air to Glass Beams’ music. And though there’s still much to discover, we’re certain this experience is worth the trip. 7 p.m., $25, the Portal at Area15, area15.com. –Amber Sampson
