Marc Ballini
Jackalope Lounj, 9pm
Two local singer-songwriters, Marc Ballini, winner of the 2006 Shepherd Express Best-Of Milwaukee award for Acoustic Performer, and Ethan Keller, frontman for his eponymous jam-rock band the Ethan Keller Group, share a laid-back show tonight at the Wicked Hop’s Jackalope Lounj at 9 p.m.
The Milwaukee Repertory Theater continues its extravagantly staged annual production of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol with a 7 p.m. performance at the Pabst Theater. Sure, you know how the story ends—you may have even seen the Milwaukee Rep’s production before—but the company adds enough new tweaks and cast changes each year to keep the familiar story looking very fresh.
If A Christmas Carol is too saccarhine for your tastes, the Milwaukee Rep is also offering you a respite from Christmas cheer in the form of a good, old-fashioned sex farce, The Norman Conquests. A story told in three self-contained yet connected plays, Norman follows a likable librarian whose attempts to court his wife’s sister during a holiday in the country are complicated by his offbeat in laws. Tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater, the company stages the “Tables Manners” portion of the trilogy.

Quantum of Solace is the future of cinema, a movie whose splashiest scenes are tailored to the dimension of big screens. It opens with the camera zooming like a cruise missile, skimming the surface of the sea as it hurtles toward the Italian coast. There,
Besotted by the cinema of silence and early talking pictures, Guy Maddin also finds humor in old movies-or perhaps the humor lies more in the distance between our experience of the world and the gestures of an antique art form. In My Winnipeg, the Canadia
For most of us, bossa nova is the distinctive sound of Brazil. The music was born in the late 1950s, conceived in large part by Antonio Carlos Jobim. From early on, American jazz musicians parked themselves within the idiom, sensing an affinity between th
California's Sound Tribe Sector 9 claims that instrumental music can reflect the tension of the times. In fact, the five-man collective considers its dense Eno-esque swirl of pulsing live and electronic sounds a means of "conversation" between band and li
The local restaurant Barossa, named after the Australian wine region of the same name, quietly closed its doors several months ago. With that closure came the loss of a very distinguished wine list and a menu that borrowed ingredients from all over the wo
