Have you always looked at Sarah Palin and said, "Say, someone oughta make an opera about her"? Well, if so, you're in luck. Guerilla Opera's "Say It Ain't So, Joe" is based on Curtis K. Hughes' perception of "was struck by the extraordinary musical contrasts between the voices of Sarah Palin and Joe Biden" during the vice presidential debates. The show launched last weekend but continues this Saturday at 8pm with an encore matinee at 2pm on Sunday the 27th. All shows at The Boston Conservatory's Zack Box Theater (8 The Fenway).
