MUSIC: Former Fugee Lauryn Hill will be giving a rare performance in Crown Heights tonight. The Grammy winner hasn't put out a new release in nearly a decade! So there's a good chance she'll be playing a lot off of 1998's The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Sean Kingston also performs.
7:30pm // Wingate Field [Crown Heights, Brooklyn] // Free
Union Hall invites Nina Persson of The Cardigans to the stage tonight under the name A Camp, joining her are Cat Martino and Oppenheimer. You should probably restrain from yelling out requests for Lovefool, though.
8pm // Union Hall [702 Union St] // $12
MOVIE: Those who like to talk during movies best stay away from Film Forum tonight as the silent feature The Crowd will be playing. The 1928 film (directed by King Vidor, who also brought The Fountainhead and War and Peace to the big screen) focuses in on marital woes and the big city. Pianist Steve Sterner will be providing live accompaniment.
8pm // Film Forum [209 W Houston St] // $10.50
TRIVIA: If you like a little trivia with your rock and roll, head over to Pianos for Smartass Rock Trivia! Here's how it works: bring a couple of friends, pick a team name, answer three rounds of questions - and win a chance to get a round of free drinks after each.
8pm // Pianos [158 Ludlow St] // Free
THEATER: Whenever a religious sect loses their leader, all hell tends to break loose among the flock. Whimsical theater company Hoi Polloi was inspired by the controversial history of the Shambhala Buddhist community to create Dysphoria, a humorous riff on the personality clashes and sexcapades in a crumbling religious community. Check out their funny YouTube advert and see the show tonight as part of the Ontological-Hysteric Incubator Series. - John Del Signore
8pm // Ontological Theater [St. Mark's Church 131 E 10th St @ Sixth Ave] // Tickets cost $17.

eh...Lauryn Hill's "MTV Unplugged 2.0" came out in 2002, a mere half-decade ago.
I would do some research of Lauryn's recent performances before I made the choice to see her live.
Miseducation is by far one of the greatest albums I've listened, and to have read about what Lauryn Hill has become over the past 10 or so years since that album pains me.
Wingate Field? You mean the Wingate Field down south of Brooklyn College? That's in Flatbush or Midwood or something, not at all Crown Heights.
Lauryn Hill was terrible last night. She was late, wigged out on god knows what and speaking in toungues. Terrible performance.
