what's happening After months of scouring, scrubbing and then completely refurbishing the former Asian market at 1075 Charnelton, right next door to Ring of Fire, the hard-working troupe Phoinix Players at last have cut the ceremonial ribbon and opened the doors to Eugene’s latest addition to the theater community. Red Cane Theatre inaugurates its fi rst season — its fi rst everything, in fact — with a spectacular dinner- theater musical written by Red Cane director Mary Hulls and entitled Silver Spurs Saloon. A sexy, snappy, hayseed romantic comedy in the tradition of big Broadway musicals, this production features heaps of whiplash dialogue and a wagon load of rip-snortin’ song-and-dance numbers delivered by swaggering cowboys and wised-up cowgirls. Running now through Aug. 18, with 7 pm shows Thursday (senior & student discount night) through Saturday; limited Ring of Fire food & drink menu available for order during shows; $14-$18; for further info, visit theredcanetheatre. yolasite.com or call 541-556-4524. 19 thurs Sunrise 5:48am; Sunset 8:50pm Av High 84; Av Low 52 BENEFITS Water for People, si- lent auction, music by Laura Kemp & Neil Bjorkland, 6-9pm, Sweet Cheeks Winery, 27007 Briggs Hill Rd., www.waterforpeople.org $20.
