READING: Rosemarie Tichler, casting director and artistic producer at New York's Public Theater, and playwright Barry Jay Kaplan have put together a written work called Actors at Work. Tonight they'll be discussing this quintessential, and inspirational, resource.

7:30pm // Barnes & Noble [1972 Broadway] // Free

THEATER: Writer/director Peter A. Campbell works his multimedia magic on Euripides’s Iphigenia in Tauris (not to be confused with Iphigenia at Aulis, which Charles Mee has re-imagined in a stunning production now at Signature). Like Mee, Campbell and his collaborators use Iphigenia as “a thematic tool with which to examine a modern world colored by corruption.” Dubbed iph.then, the work includes several versions of the Iphigenia tale as well as contemporary sources, in monologues, dialogues, opera, choral interludes, dances, fragments, video, and interruptions. Begins tonight as part of the Ontological Theater’s Summer Series. - John Del Signore

8pm // Ontological Theater [St. Mark's Church, 131 E 10th St] // Tickets cost $15

MUSIC: Austin's Car Stereo (Wars) is in NYC tonight. They've got a new album, The Bandit, out on the new Artifact Workshop label. Chris Rose will be deejaying, mashing and whatnot while Adreon Henry provides the percussion. Anyone who can include Journey, Nirvana and Avril Lavigne in ONE SONG (listen below) is worth seeing. Trust us.
