THEATER: Charlotte Salomon was a Jewish artist who was born in Berlin and escaped to the south of France during the Second World War. While in exile she created 1,300 paintings over the course of two years; at 26 she was killed at Auschwitz. Theater company Polybe + Seats is now presenting The Charlotte Salomon Project, incorporating the work of several playwrights, composers and designers to bring Salomon’s story to life. Komail Aijazuddin promises that “if you are looking for visceral, raw, experimental theatre done with subtlety, ingenuity, and sophistication, then you can't miss this.” - John Del Signore

MUSIC: Looking for some good post-violin recital music? How about heading over to The Knitting Factory for Up the Empire? You remember them, right, they sent us that card with kittens on it. Kittens bleeding from the eyes. They play with Dead Child and Under Satan's Sun. Sounds cheery!

PARTY: The All England Club is hosting a 'lil Oasis party tonight. There will be Oasis goodies and singalongs. We sort of love the idea of belting out "Champagne Supernova" with a whole bunch of strangers in a bar. Yeah. Anyway, preferred attire is tennis whites, but we bet they'll be cool with you wearing that Oasis t-shirt you have.
