Pencil This In

THEATER: The Jaded Assassin, an original “fightsical” which prompted the Times to gush, “Take that, ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’!”, was a hit at last year’s Ice Factory Festival with its daring mix of martial arts and visceral storytelling. “In a mythical world, in brutal times, a curse has plagued the land ever since the chosen ones infuriated the gods. It is up to one non-pureblood to end the curse and end the misery that has wrought her land. Even if that means killing everyone in her path to do it.” Enjoy a kick-ass YouTube preview from The Jaded Assassin website:

FILM: Ever since seeing Trees Lounge in 1996, we've been a little bit obsessed with one Steve Buscemi. Lucky for us, he's kept making films. Tonight, one of them will be shown at the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s “Young Friends of Film Series.” The film comes before 96's Trees Lounge, it's called In the Soup and was a Sundance sweetheart back in 92. To top it all off, Steve Buscemi, Sam Rockwell and director Alexandre Rockwell will have a round table chat after the film.

7:30pm // Walter Reade Theater [165 W 65th St] // $25

If for some crazy reason Steve Buscemi isn't your thing, we urge you to go see a FREE screening of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth tonight. Bring friends, and pay attention.

8pm // Time's Up! [49 E Houston St] // Free
