READING: The Autry museum is hosting a reading from a book about the common-law wife of famed lawman and gambler Wyatt Earp in "Lady at the O.K. Corral: The True Story of Josephine Marcus Earp."

Museum admission is $10. For more information, visit The Autry's website.
STORYTELLING: Tonight Stories in Echo Park is hosting a free show called "TWO-HEADED BEAST: A Storytelling Show," which is curated by Dave Ross & Jake Weisman.
