Star Wars Christmas special @ Delilah's

If the idea of seeing the legendary 1970s TV holiday special that's never been rebroadcast or released on video due to its, shall we say, unusual storyline (review, screenshots) appeals to you, then head on over to Delilah's tonight, because they're screening it at 6:00. Admission is free; Wookie costumes are optional. 2771 N. Lincoln. (773) 472-2771.

Best of Too Much Light

This weekend, The Neo-Futurists are doing special editions of their weekly show Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind. Tonight's show is a year-end retrospective of their favorite plays from 2003. The Too Much Light show presents 30 short plays in the space of 60 minutes, so don't worry that you'll be sitting around for hours. It's funny, it's thoughtful, it's naughty, it's one of the best bets in live theater this weekend. Tonight's show starts at 7:00; doors open at 6:30. The Neo-Futurarium: 5153 N. Ashland. (773) 275-5255.
