Pencil This In

MOVIE: As part of a very long retrospective series running through December (it began in July), the IFC Center salutes the late Ingmar Bergman. This weekend they'll be screening Smiles of a Summer Night (as we unofficially leave the season). The 1955 film is essentially about swapping partners on a summer night. More details here.

All Weekend // Various Times // IFC Center [323 Sixth Ave] // $11.50

EVENT: Charlie Parker allegedly died while watching Tommy Dorsey on tv at the Stanhope Hotel in March of 1955, but today is the celebration of his birth. Born on this day in 1920, the jazz musician will be celebrated with an all day street party. Expect to find spoken word, artists, a flea market, live music and of course dancing in the streets. More details here.

Friday // 2 to 9 p.m. // 285 E 3rd St // Free

THEATER: Summer's about to go up in smoke, so what better time to take in Summer and Smoke? Ahem. Tennessee Williams's 1948 drama concerns a lonely minister's daughter, Alma Winemiller, who's stuck in her parents' stifling small town Mississippi home and pines away for the former boy-next-door, who is now all growns up into the philandering Dr. John Buchanan. Martin Denton declares it "incisive and moving; there are only a few performances left and if you're a fan of great American drama I highly recommend that you see it." – John Del Signore

Friday // 8 p.m. // The Clurman Theatre at Theatre Row [410 W 42nd St] // $18

BBQ: Okay, so we didn't warn you about Topless Day, but here's a heads up about a Lingerie BBQ. Going.com says "The sort of Brooklyn deal that will some day convince Manhattanites to move out in droves. Or, um, in BIGGER droves. Tommy Bahama rum cocktails from 6-7pm, plus free BBQ from 5-8pm."

Saturday // 5 p.m. // Kings County Bar [286 Seigel St, Brooklyn] // Free

PARTY: The Urban Alchemist shop, a Park Slope Design Collective is promising an Amazing Circus Keg Party & BBQ this weekend. Fortune tellers and assorted circus freaks will be on hand.

Saturday // 6 p.m. // Urban Alchemist [343 5th St, Park Slope] // Free

MUSIC: If you've been shut out of the last McCarren Pool show and don't feel like listening to Sonic Youth for free from afar, head over to Market Hotel. The lineup is stellar, featuring Parts and Labor, Aa, and Pterodactyl. Get ready to sweat it out at the DIY venue, however, as it's likely to be packed, and air conditioning isn't usually an option.

Listen: Mapmaker.mp3 - Parts and Labor

Saturday // 8 p.m. // Market Hotel [957 Broadway, Brooklyn] // Price tba

FOOD: Haven't gotten a barbecue invite yet for this weekend? No worries. Flatbush Farm is hosting an Italian BBQ to bid the summer adieu. Chef Browning will serve up proscuitto with figs, grilled octopus w/ pesto, panzanella bread salad, house cured bresaola, stuffed grilled calamari, spiedini alla marinara, grilled sardines, scallops and shrimp, and lamb skewers with marinated artichokes. - Laren Spirer

Sunday // 3 to 7 p.m. // Flatbush Farm [76-78 St. Marks Avenue, Brooklyn] // admission free, dishes a la carte

And if a barbecue isn't enough, perhaps a pig roast will do. Klee Brasserie will be roasting a black Berkshire hog. The pork-centric three course prix-fixe dinner starts off with a melon and cress salad with pignoli dressing, then on to the main event, served with dandelion greens, BBQ potatoes, and your choice of sides, and finishes off with a greenmarket berry-meringue pie for dessert. The whole meal is paired with an Austrian Gösser Summer beer. - Laren Spirer

Sunday // Klee Brasserie [200 Ninth Avenue] // $35 // call 212-633-8033 for reservations

THEATER: Some of the cream has risen to the top (or has the crap sank to the bottom?) of the Fringe Festival, and twelve of the productions have been extended for the Fringe Encore Series. Ironically, tonight we recommend the buzzed-about Krapp, 39, in which writer/performer Michael Laurence uses Beckett's play Krapp's Last Tape (and a video camera) as a prism to look at himself in brutal close-up. Old journals, a phone message from his dead mother, "and other messy, primary-source evidence of a life about which he's profoundly ambivalent" are brought to light in a play the Village Voice calls "a thing of startling, wounding beauty." – John Del Signore

Sunday // 5 p.m. // Barrow Street Theater [27 Barrow St] // $18
