We must fight fire with fire and political puppets with political puppets! Bread & Puppet Theater musters at Portland’s Fort Allen Park (south end of the Eastern Promenade) at 5:30 p.m. to perform what they’re calling “Our Domestic Insurrection Circus and Pageant,” a madcap skewering of society’s scoundrels with frequent interruptions of beauty, followed by free bread and garlic aioli, and cheap art. Suggested donation: $10-$25 (all ages, free for the cash-strapped). mayostreetarts.org. And tonight at One Longfellow Square (181 State St., Portland), the meticulous lit-folk duo Builder of the House plays a show to celebrate the release of its first full-length, Ornaments, with Pretty Sad opening at 8 p.m. Tix: $10-$12 (all ages). 761-1751. onelongfellowsquare.com.
