Jump Back Ball

Taking place tonight at 7 at the State Theatre, the 28th annual incarnation of this fundraising fete has adopted a unique theme: Jump Back Across the Pond. "Think royal family, Harry Potter and the Beatles," reads the press release. Two bands, Abby Normal and the Detroit Lean and Faction, will perform. Special late-night tickets go for $75, about half the cost of a general admission ticket, and gives partygoers access to the festivities after 9:30 p.m. The event concludes at midnight. Consult the Playhouse Square website for more info. (Niesel)
