Pencil This In

THEATER: Joe's Pub hosts SpeakEasy, a theatrical "event" written by Neil LaBute, Edwin Sanchez, Theresa Rebeck and many others. The performance will happen throughout the Joe's Pub space, "surrounding the spectator with the bizarre, the comic, the seductive, and the sublime. Neo-Vaudeville meets social satire in this giant play with environmental staging, original music, and compelling new writing." It's the launch of The Fire Dept. a new theater company; this show features Janeane Garafalo and Kathleen Chalfant, among others. - John Del Signore

9:30pm // Joe's Pub, 425 Lafayette St. // Tickets are $25

READING: Come hear the masterful William Boyd in a rare New York
appearance, read from his new novel, Restless (which Gothamist reviewed yesterday). The novel traces Eva, a WWII spy for the British, and her daughter in the 1970's, their two stories woven together. As always with 192 Books, call to reserve a spot for the reading. - Krissa Corbett Cavouras

7pm // 192 Books [192 10th Ave at 21st St] // Free

MUSIC: Tonight catch newcomer Hayes Peebles. So young with so much talent already, you don't want to miss his live show. Listen to some songs at his MySpace, "Lines and Light" is our fave. Seriously, scary good.

7:30pm // Pianos [158 Ludlow St]

EVENT: Once a month we hit the Avenue A flea market, and once a month we come home with at least two dresses that we shouldn't have purchased. Add that to the amount of uneccesary clutter we've gathered throughout the years, and we've got little space left in our tiny living quarters. Enter the swap meet. If you're like us, head over to Botanica Bar with your unwantables later tonight and rid yourself of clutter! Of course, knowing you you'll end up picking up some new stuff.

9pm to 1am // Botanica Bar [47 East Houston St between Mott and Mulberry] // Free
