THEATER: Studio Theatre’s latest production, Venus in Fur, opens tonight. The play, which depicts a director auditioning female leads for his new play, is a riff on Leopold von Sacher-Masoch’s novella Venus in Furs.

DJ: Eight of DC’s top DJs and music experts battle it out to create the best playlist as part of the Vitamin Water Uncapped Live festival. They’ll each choose a selection of songs and be judged on how each tune builds on the previous one. At 2217 14th St., NW; 8 PM. Free.
DISCUSSION: Pick up some tips for perfecting matzo-ball soup and more at a talk by cookbook author Joan Nathan (Quiches, Kugels, and Couscous) and chef Spike Mendelsohn.
