SIX SHOWS ONLY: It is important to know that tonight is the West Coast premiere of Dael Orlandersmith's "Stoop Stories"; it is also important to know the performer's slice-of-life monologues have been getting raves. But also know that the show is playing at the Kirk Douglas six times only, through Sunday, July 11. And every ticket is $20.
FEMI KUTI & THE POSITIVE FORCE: The Nigerian star and jazz great is joined at the Hollywood Bowl by trumpeter Terence Blanchard, the Lula Washington Dance Theater, and bassist Richard Bona. If you follow the modern world music scene it is a must-go night. 8 p.m.
"THE FIFTH ELEMENT": ArcLights, thank you for revisiting '90s flicks. Last night it was "Jurassic Park" in Sherman Oaks; tonight it is Luc Besson's "The Fifth Element" at ArcLight Pasadena. Really meant to see it on the big screen. The 23rd century and all. Now we can; it plays at 7:45 p.m.
