200711bergman.jpgEVENT: Tonight a three-day tribute to the late Ingmar Bergman begins at BAM. "BAM mourns the loss of one of its most cherished artistic colleagues with BAM Remembers Ingmar Bergman, a special tribute celebrating the artistic legacy of one of the world's foremost figures in theater and film." Tonight will feature readings from Bergman's diaries and an excerpt from the documentary Bergman Island directed by Marie Nyreröd. Full schedule here.

THEATER: Enthralling monologuist Mike Daisey is at Joe’s Pub for the third night of a four-show residency called Great Men of Genius, in which Daisey spins his signature solo style into “bio-logues about megalomania and desire.” Tonight’s subject is Nikola Tesla, “mad genius, brilliant scientist and visionary who sparred with Thomas Edison and died insane and penniless writing love sonnets to pigeons after bringing the world electricity as we know it.” The series concludes next Monday with L. Ron Hubbard; Daisey's previous 'bio-logues' were Bertolt Brecht and P.T. Barnum. Michael Criscuolo calls it “smart, funny, engaging theatre that is not to be missed under any circumstances.” (Watch a video preview.) John Del Signore
