Community jazz jam w/ Paul Klemperer

Trivia nights abound in our fair city filled with smarties, but this one has an extra-special twist. It’s hosted by UT-Austin’s Texas Performing Arts, who’ll challenge the teams of up to six brainiacs to prove their knowledge of arts and entertainment. Not only will the top three teams go home with the glory, they’ll score prizes from Alamo Drafthouse and TPA, such as tickets to upcoming shows like Steve Treviño, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, or Girl From the North Country. – Kat McNevins

Texas Performing Arts Trivia

Ah, the rom-com: a pie-in-the-sky reflection of exactly zero people’s real-life experience that somehow we still aspire to. This educational evening will explore rom-coms and how they f’ed with people’s heads via a panel of movie “professors,” including the Chronicle’s own Qmmunity and Calendar Editor James Scott. Get perspectives on some fave rom-coms through a queer lens, diving into how films like Playing by Heart, My Best Friend’s Wedding, and You’ve Got Mail baffled and bewildered with their wacky ideas of how relationships work. There’s a lot to unpack here, so it’s sure to be enlightening! – Kat McNevins

Queer Film Theory 101: Rom-Coms

Who among us hasn’t taken a cross-country car journey that taught us a little about life, a little about love, and a lot about ourselves? Okay, most of us haven’t, but damn if movies don’t overrepresent this experience. This month, the cinematic-minded queer “professors” of Queer Film Theory 101 feature films about adventures on the gay ol’ gravel way and present on how these influenced their LGBTQ lives. And before you ask, no, not everyone can talk about sleepover staple Crossroads, but I’m sure someone will speak on this important work. –James Scott
