A Different Kind of Cool

Local humorist Jack Gallagher opens up his door and invites us into his hearth and heart with a personal monologue about family and fatherhood. Gallagher debuts his most recent musings of life and love at B Street, carefully tightroping between sentimentality and comedy—this time with a heartfelt glimpse into the world of autism. T 6:30; W 2 & 6:30pm; Th & F 8pm; Sa 5 & 9pm; Su 2pm. Through 11/7. $22-$30. B Street Theatre, 2711 B Street; (916) 443-5300; www.bstreettheatre.org.
