ATC OPEN HOUSE: Head downtown for a fun, festive day at the theatre with balloons, face painting, sidewalk drawing, live music and behind-the-scenes tours of the historic Temple of Music and Art, 330 S. Scott Ave. Demonstrations highlight the costumes and technical aspects employed in various ATC productions. And don't miss the sneak preview of Private Eyes, the final production of the 1995-96 season. Tours are offered on the hour, starting at 11 a.m.; and technical demonstrations begin on the half-hour beginning at 12:30 p.m. Admission is free, with activities from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 6. Call 884-8210 for information. CABARET MAGRITTE: The Cabaret crew is back, but not for long. After a gala farewell performance in June, Cabaret Magritte is going on hiatus. So don't delay in experiencing this bargain-basement performance art, music and spoken word event upstairs in the Temple of Music and Art Cabaret Theater, 330 S. Scott Ave. Opening with an irreverent version of "The Star Spangled Banner" by musician Matt Marcus, the show spirals into the comedic antics of Phoenician performance artists Jeff Falk and Annie Lopez, poetry by Jack Evans, more performance art by Tucsonan Renae Lillie, and spoken word/ performance art by Caitlin Masley. Show time is 8 p.m. Admission is $3. NAME THAT TUNING: The local Indonesian ensemble Fine Stream Gamelan cultivates a new sound for the spring recital at 8 p.m. Saturday, April 6, at UA Crowder Hall. The group, which includes a variety of keyboard instruments, hanging and pot-shaped gongs, folk fiddle, flute and vocals, gives its first performance using a new tuning system called degung, said to be a hauntingly beautiful style from West Java. They'll also perform some Central Javanese favorites and the irresistible bamboo gamelan style called calung. Admission is $5 general, $4 for students, at the door. A free public workshop precedes the concert at 3 p.m. ROBESON REVISITED: Some remember him as the All-American football player, others for his stage performances (such as being the first black man to play the title role in Othello), and still others celebrate him as one of the finest classical singers of all time. And many recall him vaguely as one of the blacklisted unfortunates of the McCarthy era. However he stands in memory, Paul Robeson remains one of this country's most intriguing cultural icons. His birthday is commemorated with music, refreshments and reminiscences by individuals who knew him personally and who have worked to bring his artistic legacy back into the public eye. Join them at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, April 9, on the lawn in front of the UA Music Building.
