Hot Sheet: To Be Experienced

6. THEATER: One Night With Janis Joplin
Mary Bridget Davies re-creates the passionate voice and powerful presence of bisexual blues-rocker Joplin in writer-director Randy Johnson’s show, which offers a concert performance with an onstage band, plus a nod to the great African-American blues artists who so influenced the singer. After having been received well in Cleveland, Portland, Ore., and Washington, D.C., One Night With Janis Joplin opens Sunday at the Pasadena Playhouse in Southern California and will be there through April 11, followed by a run in Milwaukee and a return trip to D.C.
