The Thanksgiving Play
Playwright Larissa FastHorse is one to watch. A Native American writer and choreographer with a background in ballet, FastHorse is premiering a new play, The Thanksgiving Play, at Artists Repertory Theatre, and it’ll be a welcome deviation from many of the stories we’re used to seeing onstage—and that ignore the existence of Native American communities. The play also promises to take on well-meaning liberals, which is a public service in a veritable sea of performative wokeness. MEGAN BURBANK
7:30 pm, Artists Repertory Theatre, $5-25

The Seshen, SassyBlack
Seattle’s SassyBlack (AKA Catherine Harris-White, of the now-defunct THEESatisfaction) plays yet another Portland show, offering with her signature hologram funk and psychedelic soul, while San Francisco-based six-piece the Seshen round out the bill. Led by singer Lalin St. Juste and bassist/producer Akiyoshi Ehara, the band make eclectic cocktail of electronic music, synth-pop, and R&B. Their live renditions of songs like “Spectacle” and “Oblivion” are spellbinding. JENNI MOORE

Marlon Williams, Tiny Ruins
For a 27-year-old New Zealander, Marlon Williams sure could have fooled his audience into thinking he's a middle-aged veteran country singer from Nashville. The deep, velvety smoothness of his voice and subtle undertones of melancholy in his melodies sound like he's experienced more love, heartache, and sunsets than the entire population of New Zealand combined. Williams got his start singing in choir at his Christchurch boys' high school, starting the band the Unfaithful Ways when he was 17. In Johnny Cash's footsteps, Williams haunts the listener with a modern twist on old-school country melodies, with guitar riffs that will seep into your skin and envelop you like a childhood blanket.

8 pm, Mississippi Studios, $15

Easter Bingo
Why not seriously lean into the holiday spirit by doing as your gramma did before you: Throwing on a nice sweater, getting that hair did just right, and settling in for a long day of daubing at cards and cursing under your breath as some other schmuck wins all the Bingo prizes you rightfully deserve on the day of Jesus' return! Local comedy talents Erin Jean O'Regan and Chad Parsons will call the numbers.
noon, Siren Theater, $5
