Pencil This In

SCIENCE: It's Secret Science Club night again at Union Hall. This week Gerry Moore tells us of The Secret Botanical Life of NYC. From the press release: "Is this city nothing but steel and pavement? Nein! We’re gushing with biodiversity. Put a nosegay in your buttonhole, and prepare for FLOWER POWER!" Also: the aromatic cocktails of the night will be "the walloping Planter’s Punch and the deadly Black Dahlia”...smells like a pretty drunk science club!

THEATER: Gino DiIorio's three-character drama Apostasy hones in on Sheila, an affluent Jewish businesswoman with terminal cancer. Judaism no longer resonates with her, and she’s drawn to Dr. Julius Strong, a charismatic black televangelist, who romances his way into her fragile life. But when Shelia’s daughter Rachel, who works at a Planned Parenthood clinic, learns that a large portion of Shelia’s estate will be donated to Dr. Strong’s ministry, the stage is set for bitter confrontation. - John Del Signore
