Hopefully he'll find the venue, when we interviewed him back in 2005 he noted, "I've ridden on many of the world's metro systems and I have to say that the NYC subway makes the least amount of sense."

MOVIE: Anthology looks at the era of digital transition with The Wii and the Us tonight.

THEATER: Arthur L. Kopit, who hit it big in the ‘70s with his Tony-nominated shows Indians and Wings, is back in the spotlight with the revival of two obscure one acts from the ‘60s: Chamber Music and The Day The Whores Came Out To Play Tennis. The latter play concerns “an invasion of off-stage farting whores and the outraged Tennis Club members who bicker while the set collapses around them.” Chamber Music is a feminist-absurdist romp set in an insane asylum in 1938, where eight women who think they are various important historical figures come together to organize against an impending attack from the men's ward.– John Del Signore

8 p.m. // Gene Frankel Theatre [24 Bond St.] // Tickets cost $18.
