SARAH VOWELL. The most distinctive mousy voice in the business now assaults us from This American Life as well as The Incredibles. Come April 20 she’ll serenade us with selections from her latest book, Assassination Vacation, a light-hearted cross-country road trip into the heart of American political murder. That’s at Northeastern University’s Blackman Auditorium; call (617) 373-5800.

ANNA MYER AND DANCERS. Cambridge choreographer Anna Myer’s All at Once, which got a favorable nod from the New York Times when it debuted last year, incorporates music by the Russian composer Jakov Jakoulov as well as the famously animated wand waving of conductor Susan Davenny Wyner, who will direct the New England String Ensemble when Myer and her crew perform the work as part of their spring season on May 19 through 21 on the top floor of the Boston Ballet building, 19 Clarendon Street in the South End. Also on the bill: the world premiere of Myer’s A League of Our Own, inspired by Art Deco and danced to selections from the Bach cello suites, and her 1997 Bluebird No. 173, which draws on, among other imagery, Chagall’s painting The Birthday Party. Tickets are $20; call (617) 547-9699.

SOX BOOKS. Already? Maybe it’s because there’s still snow on the ground, maybe it’s because we’re still learning how to say "World Champion Red Sox," but it seems a little soon. Like it or not, however, the Fenway madness begins again on April 11, and down the street that day, the Globe’s Dan Shaughnessy signs not one but two books related to the magic season — Reversing the Curse for the aged and the ancient-history children’s primer The Legend of the Curse of the Bambino — at the Boston University Barnes & Noble, 660 Beacon Street in Kenmore Square. Call (617) 267-8484. And on April 12, Johnny Damon signs his Idiot at the Braintree Borders, 255 Grossman Drive in Braintree; call (781) 356-5111.

ALVIN AILEY AMERICAN DANCE THEATER. April 19 through 24 at the Wang Theatre, 270 Tremont Street in the Theater District. Tickets are $37 to $67; call (617) 482-6661.


Issue Date: April 1 - 7, 2005
