PARTY: Did you hear it's National Singles Week? Well, it is -- and we apparently live in one of the numero uno towns for single folk. So tonight head over to join SWISH (Single Woman in Search of Happiness) for a gathering of female friends. Chat, drink and embrace your singlehood. We just can't help but think that this would probably more fun if dudes were also allowed.

THEATER: David Rhodes’s hit one-man show Rites of Privacy places five vastly different Jewish characters under a microscope and zooms in on their darkest secrets. His subjects include a fading Southern pageant queen, an elderly refugee from Nazi Germany, a fish-out-of-water Jew in New Hampshire, a deeply troubled suburban doctor and a degenerate Euro-club-kid. Throughout the play Rhodes juxtaposes these characters with shockingly candid stories from his own strange life, turning in a performance Martin Denton calls “gutsy and enormously affecting.” – John Del Signore

8pm // Urban Stages [259 W 30th St] // Tickets cost $35.
