And if you don’t know who any of those people are, well, this might not be the event for you.

Gaybingo goes superhero
It’s time for Gaybingo again, and we can’t say for sure, but our Spidey sense is tingling that perhaps the reason this week’s theme centers on superheroes relates to ComicCon being in town. Or maybe they just know gay men like to dress up in Spandex. Either way, the monthly fundraiser is here to the rescue!
DEETS: S4, 3911 Cedar Springs Road. Doors at 5 p.m., play at 6 p.m. $25–$40. RCDallas.org.

Comic whodunnit ‘Shear Madness’ opens at Theatre 3
It’s madcap! It’s spine-tingling! It has bangs — not the gun kind, but the hair kind. Shear Madness is a long-running comedy with a little something for everyone and some stuff for nobody in particular. A murder is committed, but did you spot the clues? You might be tapped to participate in this farce, starring Dallas stalwarts B.J. Cleveland and Bradley Campbell. It opens Friday in T3’s downstairs Theatre Too space, and has a run planned throughout most of the summer.
DEETS: Theatre 3, 2800 Routh St. in the Quadrangle. May 16–July 20 Theatre3Dallas.com.
