Steven Jay Crabtree returns with ‘Dysfunctional Divas’
The new year may be more than a week old, but for screwed up women inside Steven Jay Crabtree’s mind, there’s never a reason to let the liquor stop flowing. With characters like Martini Glass and Trayla Park, Crabtree unleashes his brand of standup comedy mixed with performance art in Dys-functional Divas. His one-man show returns to the Pcoket Sandwich Theatre for two late-night shows this weekend. It’s a wig-raising, R-rated experience, bitches!

Gaybingo North kicks off new year of ballsiness in Plano
When the Resource Center decided to launch a separate afternoon of Gaybingo north of LBJ last summer, it was meant to be an experiment to see if the concept of fundraising and camping numbers games would catch on with suburbanites.
The answer appears to be yes, as Gaybingo North officially returns to Plano on Sunday. And Sunday is the perfect day for it, with Paul J. Williams — aka Sister Helen Holy — presiding over the festivies for the post-church,
post-brunch, post-modern crowd. No need to bring your bible;
Sister Helen has enough piety to pray for all the sinner in her flock.
DEETS:
Courtyard Theater
1509 H Ave., Plano. 3 p.m.

Innovative musical ‘On the Eve’ gets the full treatment at Theatre 3
In December 2012, a newish theater company put on a musical about time-traveling balloonists and talking statues in the intimate space of Fair Park’s Margo Jones Theatre, and astonished all who saw it. Unfortunately, not all that many did see it during its brief run. But the show Dallas Voice declared the best production of 2012 is back in a bigger venue (Theatre 3) with the same creative team (composers Seth and Shawn Magill and author Michael Federico) and much of the original cast. Don’t miss it this time out.
DEETS:
Theatre 3
2900 Routh St. in the Quadrangle.
Jan. 16–Feb. 9 (in previews through Jan. 19). $10–$50.
