"Wong" or right?: Los Angeles solo artist Kristina Wong, above, debuts her "Going Green the Wong Way" in the Lehigh Valley, 8 p.m. Nov. 16, 17, Touchstone Theatre, 321 E. Fourth St., Bethlehem. In her quest to "go green," Wong purchased a car that ran on vegetable oil, then endured a nightmare of never-ending car repairs and near-death pursuits for the used cooking oil to fuel it. When the car finally burst into flames on an L.A. freeway, Wong lost the largest line item in her monthly budget and gained the inspiration for this production. Tickets: touchstone.org, 610-867-1689
