Pencil This In

THEATER: The Ontological-Hysteric Theatre itself is a great incubator for avant-garde performance art-type work, so when they have an incubator program themselves, you know what you're seeing there will be fresh and startling. Banana Bag and Bodice was in the program last year with Panel. Animal and is back with The Sewers, a "conjuring act" in which a village called, um, The Sewers, disappears one night in the theatre, leading to a love triangle and loads of dead children. Go with confidence that you will emerge (if you don't disappear too) deliciously baffled. - Mallory Jensen

MOVIE: It's Monday, that means movie night at Bryant Park. Tonight head over there and check out M*A*S*H on the big screen. Man, we used to hate the theme song to the show for some reason, so we actually never saw the movie...

(SCARY) MOVIE: Every Monday Metropol serves up a classic horror film with your drinks. Tonight's film is Uncle Sam..I Want You Dead, in honor of the 4th. After the film, the dj will spin some of your favorite metal tunes.
