Tonight marks the opening of the fifth installment of Solo Performance Festival down at Theatre off Jackson, which runs through May 7. The festival is a little sparser than last year, but the programming is tighter. It kicks off tonight with the inimitable Lauren Weedman, an LA-by-way-of-Seattle performer, in No...You Shut Up!, which explores adoption. (Don't let that touchy-feely description fool you--Weedman's amazing.) Local fave Terri Weagant (who not so long ago owned a production of the solo show to end 'em all, The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe) presents a original piece, Karaoke Suicide is Painless, "a multimedia karaoke comedy that explores the correlation between air guitar and personal choice."
