Pencil This In

INNER DEBATE: Project Runway finale vs. final Presidential Debate? Something to think about.

MOVIE: Tonight Frontrunners: Election Time at New York’s Stuyvesant High School opens at the Film Forum. Think of it as a real life documentary version of the movie Election. "Not surprisingly, some of the nation’s smartest, most media-savvy teenagers run an election for class president with primaries, televised debates, newspaper endorsements and considerable schmoozing in the halls. Stuyvesant accepts 3% of the 25,000 kids who apply for admission annually, and when only one of them is going to become class president, you can bet that tensions run high." Who will win?! Find out tonight, or anytime before the film's run is over on the 21st. Watch the trailer here.

THEATER: In David Greenberg's A Kite Cut Loose In The Middle Of The Sky concerns a sex-obsessed quadriplegic named Rosie "and her struggle to 'remain' a woman although she cannot feel anything." The first act takes place during a debauched party with her other disabled friends, and the Times's Neil Genzlinger notes that Rosie "may be the least sympathetic character in a wheelchair you’ll ever see onstage." He finds the second act most compelling, with "some crackling moments as the quadriplegic with a death wish squares off against the criminal with contempt for life." — John Del Signore
