ART: Artist Tom Sanford's installation show, titled Mr. Hangover, is something to check out before it comes down in June. "Featured in the exhibition are new works modeled after ubiquitous street posters that are plastered around most cities to advertise events, movies and products. Comprised entirely of hand painted posters that are unframed and tacked to the wall, they suggest influences that come as much from the broader consumer culture as they do from the arena of fine art."

THEATER: America’s unflagging celebrity obsession gets widely and colorfully explored in the raucous theatrical carnival LA FEMME EST MORTE or Why I Should Not F%!# My Son. With live music, dance, raw meat and a cast of eight uninhibited performers, writer/director Shoshona Currier takes inspiration from the Phaedra myth to gleefully parody a nation addicted to escapism while riding an express train to hell. Additional text is pilfered from the speeches of General George Patton, interviews with Lizzie Grubman, Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears, and Gwyneth Paltrow, and works by Seneca, Georges Bataille, and Brett Easton Ellis. “Flash photography is encouraged.” – John Del Signore
