ACID NEUTRALIZERS: Fans of punk will be headed to Hartford tonight. Illinois band, Alkaline Trio will be taking the stage at the Webster.

The band will be joined by Cursive, The Dear and Departed. Tickets are $18.50. Event is at 6:30 p.m.
DAYTIME DRAMA: OK, we know this is a space for things you're doing tonight, but if you've got some time during the day, head on down to Fairfield. The Fairfield Theatre Company-StageOne, is offering Play with your Food, an afternoon of three original one-act plays by local playwrights. The shows include a play that takes a skewed look at a mother-daughter relationship, a play written entirely in verse and a play that addresses questions about behaving like a grown up. And it's not just the drama on the menu. Guests will also get to enjoy lunch from Spic & Span Market with the price of admission. Tickets are $42. Doors open at 11:30 a.m.
