Pencil This In

MOVIE: In the unlikeliest of scenarios, rapper (and jeweler) Paul Wall, his grills, Reggaetón king Tego Calderón and Wu-Tang's Raekwon traveled to Sierra Leone. The outcome is an informative documentary called Bling: A Planet Rock which focuses on "the flashy world of commercial hip-hop jewelry played a significant role in the ten-year civil war" in West Africa.

THEATER: Lights Rise on Grace ricochets around an unorthodox love triangle as “three desperate New Yorkers uncover and recover secrets.” Puppy love between the Asian American Grace and the African American Large is put to sleep when Large disappears without a trace. But the romance awakens when Large resurfaces unexpectedly after a six-year bit upstate. The play cuts back and forth through time between the teenage love, the crime that landed Large in the pen, and the brotherly love he found there with a white man named Riece. TimeOut NY’s David Cote writes: “Three actors, three chairs, a few dozen light cues and a tight, 70-minute script are all Lights Rise on Grace needs to rivet your attention.” (The show won the Overall Excellence Award for Outstanding Play at last month’s Fringe Festival.) - John Del Signore
