Pencil This In

2007_04_arts_comiceyre.jpgREADING: Have you thought about Rereading Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë lately? Writers and Brontë enthusiasts Jennifer Egan, Siri Hustvedt and Margot Livesey have! Tonight they celebrate the "heart-searing story of a plain, orphaned governess who struggles at an oppressive boarding school before moving to Thornfield, eventually falling in love with her mysterious employer, Mr. Rochester." The event coincides with a new Masterpiece Theatre presentation of Jane Eyre.

7:30pm // Symphony Space [95th and Broadway] // $21

THEATER: Steven Tomlinson is an economics professor at the University of Texas; he also moonlights as a comic playwright, performer, preacher and avid collector of vintage “Fiestaware” china. In his one man show, American Fiesta, his obsession with Fiestaware becomes a prism through which he sees connections between residents of "red" and "blue" states, as well as the rancor within his own family when he announces his intention to marry his partner. (On Saturday The Times ran a story about the show’s hands-on producer, ex-Senator Bill Bradley.) - John Del Signore

8pm // Vineyard Theatre [108 East 15th St] // Tickets cost $50

TV:: Lost really is getting good again, so here's a reminder to “come and watch Lost at the Professor’s Loft and enjoy $5 tropical drinks during the entire show, free shots of Jungle Juice anytime somebody refers to “The Others” and Mind-Erasers on the house if…it's discovered the parachuter was sent by Penny, Locke returns to camp, or if an “other” dies."

10pm // Professor Thom’s [219 2nd Ave] // Free

MUSIC: Dntel, aka Jimmy Tamborello from Postal Service, will be spinning tunes at Union Pool tonight...and joining him at the decks are some of the Grizzly Bear gents! Sure, we'd rather they perform their own songs live, but you can't always get what you want...

10pm // Union Pool [484 Union Ave, Brooklyn]

no, but I've thought about rereading Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, that count?
