Tonight-Saturday.
Theater. Time to pack up the “Trailer Park.” The New Denver Civic Theatre’s “The Great American Trailer Park Musical” offers pole-dancing, adultery, agoraphobia, beer-swigging, chemical sniffing and guns in its regional premiere. It’s a low-expectation, high-reward good time most recommendable for a fantastic cast including Alex Ryer, Sharon Kay White and Amy Board. Final performances 7:30 tonight, 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday at 721 Santa Fe Drive. $39.50; 303-309-3773, 1-866-464-2626, King
Soopers or

Saturday-Sunday. Choral music. Of the thousands of versions of Ordinary of the Mass, the parts of the church service that remain the same no matter the occasion, Johann Sebastian Bach’s Mass in B minor, BWV 232, ranks among the greatest. Begun in 1733 and not completed until shortly before the composer’s death in 1750, it stands as a definitive summation of Bach’s unsurpassed skills as a choral composer. The Denver Bach Society will offer rare performances of the Mass at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday at Christ Episcopal Church, 2950 S. University Blvd. Tickets, available at the door, are $25 for adults and $15 for children younger than 12. 303-893-4869 or

Wednesday. Improv. The Denver Improv fest has come and gone, but if you didn’t get your fix of live, no-holds-barred comedy, check out Plays Well With Others, an all-improv show taking place the fourth Wednesday of every month. Fort Collins’ Fools Disclosure will helm October’s installment, taking audience suggestions and running with them through a series of experimental,
unpredictable scenes and characters. The Avenue
Theater, 417 E. 17th Ave., 7:30 p.m., $10 (includes one drink), $5 for students; 303-321-5925 or

Thursday. Pop music. Who would have guessed that one of 2007’s fastest sell-outs would be a concert featuring Disney
Channel sensation Hannah Montana? The youngsters knew it, but many of their parents missed out when the Best of Both Worlds Tour – playing the Pepsi Center on Thursday – went on sale months ago, selling out immediately. Scalped tickets on eBay are reaching ridiculous heights. If you do have tickets, we would encourage adults to bring earplugs. If you don’t have tickets but still want to go, get out the credit card. The all-ages show starts at 7 p.m.; tickets are very sold out.
