Can't Miss It: Monday

Win Or Go Home: After Saturday's loss against the Mercury in Phoenix, the WNBA's Western Conference Playoff series is tied at 1-1; making tonight's game at the Key Arena the deciding factor in who gets to continue playing, and who goes on vacation. While the Mercs have never won in Seattle, it doesn't change the fact that our girls' backs are against the wall, which is usually when they go into clutch mode and win big games; at the moment, games don't get much bigger than this. GO STORM!

Tonight at 7:00p.m. // Key Arena at Seattle Center // $15 - $165

The talented theater artists at the Endangered Species Project invade Capitol Hill's Erickson Theater in order to present a staged reading of Stalag 17, the play that served as inspiration for Billy Wilder's World War II movie classic. The play revolves around a number of prisoners of war at a German POW Camp, one of whom commits a treasonous act by colluding with the Nazis; the soldiers aim to find the rat. Tonight's reading features an unreasonable amount of talented local actors in the cast, as is generally the case with ESP's work.

Tonight at 7:00p.m. // Erickson Theater, 1524 Harvard Avenue // Free (donations accepted)

Tonight at 7:00p.m. // Re-bar, 1114 Howell Street // $6
