NICOLE KIDMAN IS FUCKING GORGEOUS What, really, do you need to know about NKIFG besides the fact the performance group’s name is on point and it’s a collaboration creation between local art luminaries Mica Sigourney, Maryam Rostami, and John Foster Cartwright. They call themselves a band that plays its own bodies as instrument. And Kidman is in fact really cute, y’know? 8pm, $20. Performances run through Dec. 15.

DRAG QUEENS ON ICE Donna Sachet and Sister Roma preside over this bespangled yearly gaggle of drag queens gliding hammily across the ice. A San Francisco holiday classic, don’t miss.
