Pencil This In

THEATER: The National Asian American Theatre Company is known for creating adventurous theater with an all-Asian American performing plays that often have little to do with Asian Americans. Their newest production is Blind Mouth Singing by Jorge Ignacio Cortiñas; it uses a watery set and live music to tell a story of an “overly strict matriarch; her young son Reiderico who sneaks out of the house to visit his best friend who lives at the bottom of a well; her sister who treats syphilis patients in the open-air market; and her older son who bullies everything within his reach.” Martin Denton writes: “Authentic magic happens only rarely in the theatre… I'm talking about those rare wonderful moments when we see one thing on stage with our eyes, but our hearts tell us we're seeing something entirely different. Blind Mouth Singing is filled with such moments of magic.” John Del Signore

7pm // Baruch Performing Arts Center [55 Lexington Ave.] // Tickets cost $20.

MUSIC: We're still completely compelled by Bat for Lashes, aka Natasha Khan. Great songs, videos, artwork and live shows...what more can you ask for? Check them out tonight, and our interview with Natasha from the last time she was in town.

8pm // Bowery Ballroom [6 Delancey St] // $15

EVENT: Showpaper is a free bi-weekly publication that lists all of the DIY shows around town and the tri-state area. Sounds handy, right? Well, it's print-only! We don't really get that, but it sort of sounds like an adorable venture. Come support them, their off-line lifestyle and some DIY bands tonight at a benefit -- because printing things costs money! The bands: The Beets and Tournament.

8pm // Death by Audio [49 S 2nd St, Williamsburg] // $5

MOVIE: Wes Anderson will be on hand tonight as his 13-minute short prequel to The Darjeeling Limited screens. No doubt you've heard of Hotel Chevalier already, at the very least because of Natalie's nude scene in it. She's not scheduled to be there, however her male costar, Jason Schwartzman, is.

9pm // Apple Store SoHo [103 Prince St] // Free
