Pencil This In

EVENT: Want to get all of your holiday shows conveniently mashed up in to one night? Then join Mickey and Minnie Mouse tonight to help light the Holiday Tree at Lincoln Center. While there you will also see "performances from The Metropolitan Opera's new holiday production of Mozart's The Magic Flute, members of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, a selection from George Balanchine's The Nutcracker by the New York City Ballet and students from the School of American Ballet, a daring performance from the fire-juggling Gizmo Guys from the Big Apple Circus, and holiday favorites sung by the SRC All-City Gospel Chorale and special guest Alvin Slaughter." That's a lot of holiday cheer.

5:30pm // Josie Robertson Plaza, Lincoln Center // Free

COMEDY: Tonight's "Night of a Shitload of Stars" features, well, a sh*tload of stars, we'd imagine. Host Jessica Delfino will also be on hand to entertain. According to her site, "This variety show always delivers, especially if you’re ordering crazy."

8 to 10pm // Bowery Poetry Club [308 Bowery] // Pay What You Want

THEATER: The ambitious Havel Festival, which is presenting all of Václav Havel’s plays for the first time anywhere, enters its final week. Tonight’s highlight is a staged reading of Tomorrow, which “recounts the events of 1918 Czechoslovakia, when, after 300 years under the Habsburg empire, the state finally broke free and established its own democratic republic. In retelling that story, Havel foreshadowed a more modern Czechoslovakian revolution.” (Mountain Hotel, Havel’s play about hotel residents “repeating themselves in different ways as their identity slowly gets lost” concludes tonight at The Brick Theater in Williamsburg.) - John Del Signore

7pm // Makor [35 West 67th St] // Tickets are $10
