BooTown’s “Not So Gala” Gala puts the fun back in fund-raiser. The event is more like a kid’s birthday party and less like a stuffy, grown-up moneymaker, so not only can you leave the black tie at home, you can also kick off your shoes and climb into a grown-up moonwalk (hell yeah!). We wouldn’t expect anything less from BooTown, the local theater troupe known for its quirky and experimental performances. Along with the moonwalk, offerings include a giant, inflatable castle; a silent auction; sporadic theatrics; bottomless barbecue (for carnivores and herbivores); and music provided by the Reverberations DJs. All this, plus proceeds benefit BooTown and Writers in the Schools. The party gets hopping at 7 p.m. East End Urban Market, 716 Telephone Road. For information, call 832-541-2861 or visit www.bootown.org. $25.
