All RI's a stage, and some feature mere guitar players

Rhode Island's fall theatre season is in swing tonight. And for another kind of theater -- the guitar-slinging variety -- there's plenty going on too.

At Trinity Rep. in Providence, All the King's Men opens tonight at 8. It's adapted from Robert Penn Warren’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, with music by Randy Newman.

For more theater listenings, go here.

At Chan's Restaurant in Woonsocket, Popa Chubby -- no that's not a typo -- plays blues and rock, channeling Jimi Hendrix. (He's just put out a two-CD set of live performances of Hendrix songs.) Head over to Chan's, 267 Main St.. Call 765-1900. 8, 10 pm. $15 early show; $10 late show; $18 for both shows.

In Newport, Josh Barber and the Stack play rhythm and blues at Club Royale at Newport Grand, Admiral Kalbfus Boulevard. Call 849-5000. 9 pm.

In Providence, Brickpark play rock at Olives, 108 North Main St. Call 751-1200. 10 pm-2 am. $5.

The Paul Broadnax Trio play jazz at Capriccio, 2 Pine St., Providence. Call 421-1320. 9 pm-1 am.

For the younger set, there's the Dropkick Murphys, Horrorpops and Everybody Out playing rock at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel, 79 Washington St., Providence. Call 331-5876, 272-5876, www.etix.com. 8:30 pm. $22.50 advance; $25 day of show; $28 reserved.
