MOVIE: Tonight at River Flicks (for kids) it's Charlotte's Web. We're not afraid to admit we still like this movie even though we're not a kid. The weather should be nice, the popcorn is free...all you need to do is bring some tissues...it's a tearjerker!

Friday // 8pm // Pier 54 // Free

THEATER: Ethan Lipton’s new play Goodbye April, Hello May is set in next century’s desperate New York, where two sisters, their boyfriends and roommates struggle to cohabitate in a tiny Coney Island apartment. Sci-fi setting aside, the story’s really about what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real. The Village Voice’s Alexis Soloski says Lipton’s “dialogue and characters delight, especially when played by director Patrick McNulty's uniformly excellent cast.” - John Del Signore

Friday // 8:30pm // HERE Arts Center [145 Sixth Ave] // Tickets cost $18.

Check out our interview with Jenn Su of CitySol/SolarOne here.

Saturday // 1 to 10pm // 23rd Street @ the East River // Free

Guess it's sort of fitting to have a band play at Urban Outfitters, given they're always selling and playing music in there anyway. Get some shopping done while you listen to EL-P this Saturday. Apparently this is part of a program Toyota created to support the importance of non-commercial radio (it's called: Free Yr Radio). This particular show supports 88.7 WNHU. Print the flyer to get in!

Saturday // 8pm // Urban Outfitters [526 Ave of the Americas] // Free

PARADE: The One Night of Fire Renegade Parade is back. It's an un-permitted free-form roving festival of music, performance, hula hoops and whatever else you can think of! Sign up to get the details, here.

THEATER: John Logan’s Never the Sinner, first produced in ’98 to great acclaim, dramatizes the media circus surrounding Leopold and Loeb - two wealthy young American psychos who, while attending the University of Chicago in 1924, murdered a fourteen-year-old boy for the "thrill of it." The Woodshed Collective promises a “cinematic” exploration of “the dark, deranged yet hauntingly tender world of Leopold and Loeb's relationship” contrasted against the hoopla of what became "the trial of the century." [Clarence Darrow, of Inherit the Wind fame, came to their defense.] - John Del Signore

Saturday // 8pm // Clemente Soto Velez Center (CSV) [107 Suffolk St] // Tickets cost $18.
