Pencil This In

THEATER: Three time Obie winner and “titanic force” Mac Wellman has brought his Two September to The Flea Theater, which he co-founded a decade ago. The action takes place in various locations in China and Vietnam after the Japanese coup of March 9th, 1945. It is told through the eyes of blacklisted writer Josephine Herbst and the young Vietnamese revolutionary leader who becomes Ho Chi Minh. - John Del Signore

7pm // The Flea [41 White Street, downstairs] // Tickets cost $18 each

MUSIC: Dragons of Zynth and Elijah B. Torn play Fat Baby tonight. We've checked out the former twice, once this summer at the pool, and once more recently at a show in Brooklyn. They hit us differently each time - the first we loved them, the second we just wanted the noise to STOP. We're fickle like that, but we also want to give them just one more chance to wow us like we know they can.

In the mood for some holiday tunes? You're in luck. The New York City Gay Men's Chorus is holding their Holiday Spectacular tonight! This is their 27th, so they're experts. Special guests are promised and the MENhattans will be on hand (think the Rockettes, but, you know, men). More info here.

8pm // Carnegie Hall [154 W 57th St] // $27 to $84

DISCUSSION: Tonight at MoMA there will be talk of "Experimental Magazines and the International Avant-Gardes, 1945-1975," a very specific discussion indeed. The panel, which includes magazine founders and smarty pants academics, will ponder the mid-century avant-garde magazines.

6pm // Museum of Modern Art [11 W 53rd St] // $10

FILM EVENT: Looks like MoMA is the place to be tonight. Another event happening there: An Evening with Oliver Stone. His latest film, World Trade Center, will be screened and then you'll be able to discuss it with the filmmaker himself, as Stone will be on hand. Perhaps some talking points can be found in the comments section of this post.
