EVENT: Tonight the Change You Want to See Gallery hosts a conversation with renowned philosopher, media activist and cultural agitator Franco Berardi (aka Bifo) and media theorist MacKenzie Wark, author of Game Theory and A Hacker's Manifesto. "Bifo has been a pivotal figure in Italian social movements for that past 40 years. He co-founded the legendary Radio Alice (1977), the first pirate radio station in Italy, the magazine A/Traverso (1977-81), and Rekombinant (2000), an online network environment that focuses on radical philosophy, urban conflicts, media activism, networking art, knowledge economy, western psychopathology, autonomous universities, and institutions of the common. More recently he produced the autonomous street television network Orfeo TV (2002), which sparked a national network of pirate micro TV stations to counter the media monopoly of the Prime Minister."

THEATER: Arthur Miller's rarely produced play Incident at Vichy is set in an interrogation room in German-occupied France, where ten men tear their hair out worrying about why they've been summoned. According to Stan Richardson at nytheatre.com, the current Actors Company Theatre production is "heartbreaking... Every figure in this powerfully understated revival makes a distinct impression." And Neil Genzlinger at the Times writes, "Scott Alan Evans, the director here, starts with the tension high, thanks to a quietly chilling opening montage, and keeps it that way." — John Del Signore
