Pencil This In

THEATER: The ever-diminishing returns for theater producers have conditioned many playwrights to pre-emptively cut costs by keeping their character census down. So it's nice to see Tribeca's Flea Theater making room for Mark Greenfield's new play, I.E., In Other Words. "Using highly stylized language, this Boy Meets Girl/Horatio Alger tale-gone-wild" involves thirty-three characters played by a cast of fourteen. Greenfield's sprawling canvas, which is still in previews, is stretched to accommodate "adventure, love, songs, and lots of punch lines." - John Del Signore

7pm // The Flea Theater [41 White St] // Tickets cost $25

READING: Tonight KGB Bar gets all Zach Braff on us with a reading from "Living on the Edge of the World", where New Jersey writers take on the Garden State. Will they be able to make the Jerz seem appealing, endearing, or even "better" than New York? Apparently, they're going to try.

7pm // KGB Bar [85 E 4th St] // Free

MOVIE: We sort of wish this were outside...Reel Life Moviehouse brings the best summer movie of all time (and the movie that gave Great Whites a bad name) to Williamsburg tonight: JAWS! We hear if you bring a scary stuffed animal, you'll get some free drinks.

8pm // Galapagos [60 N 6th St, Brooklyn] // Free

MUSIC: Flowers of Flesh & Blood, Tunde (from TV on the Radio), Ryan (from Tall Firs) and Brooke Gillespe are at Glasslands tonight. This looks like a great lineup - except we have no idea what Flowers of Flesh & Blood are about (we're guessing they're not this UK metal band, but who knows).

8pm // Glasslands [289 Kent Ave, Brooklyn] // Price TBA
