"Forever Plaid" performance: 2 p.m. Sunday, Longmont Theatre Company, 513 Main St., Longmont.

They linger in limbo until an astro-techincal phenomena returns them to Earth to perform one last time and hopefully win a place in heaven in their deluxe plaid dinner jackets. $35, 303-772-5200, longmonttheatre.org .
