What's at the Somerville Theater on Tuesday?

Jackie Rosetti's recording just called to say that parking in Davis Square will be weird all day on Tuesday, with road closures in the evening until 1am, "due to an event at the Somerville Theater". U2 again, or someone even more important? Anyone know what's up?

I even read that, and did not put two and two together. Thanks. That's boring *and* potentially inconvenient. =P

This is also why the theatre has no showings scheduled Tuesday after the 2pm-ish matinees. I'm surprised they're bothering to open at all that day.

The full text of Jackie's message, which I also received as an e-mail:

Hello, this is Jackie Rossetti from the City of Somerville with important information about traffic and parking restrictions in Davis Square for a special event on Tuesday, June 14th.

Due to an event at the Somerville Theatre, please note that, effective 8 a.m. on Tuesday, Dover Street and Meacham Road will be closed to vehicle traffic, and parking restrictions will be in place. Beginning at approximately 7pm, no vehicle traffic will be permitted on Holland Street between Davis Square and Buena Vista Road, and westbound traffic on Highland Ave. will be detoured onto Elm Street and College Ave. until approximately 1am on Wednesday morning. Parking restrictions will also apply on portions of Day, Dover, and Holland Streets, and the Day Street parking lot will be closed beginning at 8am on Tuesday.

The arch-shaped bike racks in front of the Somerville Theatre and CVS also have No Parking signs pasted to them, effective 3 pm Tuesday.
