It’s anniversary time! One hundred and fifty years ago, Charles Darwin shifted the cosmic order with his book On the Origin of the Species. Mildred’s Umbrella Theater Company is marking that gigantic scientific leap of the imagination with the upcoming production of The Third Side, a new play about a professor who finds himself in the soup when he dares to question Darwin. Today’s The Third Side Launch Party doesn’t include a performance, but you can meet the show’s cast and crew. It’s all happening at the very cool midtown Khon’s, and according to Jennifer Decker, artistic director of Mildred’s Umbrella, there will be “nibbles, happy-hour drink prices and door prizes” including art, goods and services and, of course, tickets to the play. 5 p.m. 2808 Milam. For information, call 832-418-0973 or visit www.mildredsumbrella.com. Free.
