Preview: Once More, with Feeling at the William J. Geery Theater

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes—that’s how long it’s been since Empire Arts’ last production of Once More, with Feeling! The live reenactment of the musical episode from Buffy the Vampire Slayer is in its third year, which means the stakes are even higher. Get it? Stakes? Vampires? No? OK. Contrary to what the above image implies, Sarah Michelle Gellar will not be performing, but it’s sure to be a fun show regardless. There’s also a costume contest each Saturday night, so come dressed in your most stunning Principal Snyder look. Fri 3/8, 8pm; Sat 3/9, 8pm & 10pm; Fri 3/15, 8pm; Sat 3/16, 8pm & 10pm; Through 3/16; $10-$15; William J. Geery Theater, 2130 L Street; (916) 446-4618; empireartscollective.com.
