A combination book release party/Frameline benefit, the celebration begins with a champagne reception, followed by Wings' reading and a behind-the-scenes history tour through the theater, led by veteran guide Trevor Hailey. The event, dubbed "a magical-historical mystery tour," begins at 5 p.m. at the Castro Theater, 429 Castro, S.F. Admission is $20; call 703-8656.
