The former home of the 3 Legged Dog theater company was destroyed during 9/11, but the scrappy group hustled funds and emerged as downtown’s first real triumph of the reconstruction. Their sleek, futuristic new “Art and Technology Center” (theirs for the low, low price of $4.8 million bones) is just down the street from the World Trade Center maw. And they now have two much-buzzed about shows running in tandem: Losing Something, which uses a dazzling new technology called Eyeliner to create 3-dimensional holographic images of actors, and The Curse of the Mystic Renaldo The, a zany late-night rock n’ roll vaudeville extravaganza that plays on Fridays and Saturdays.

THEATER: You’ve got just three more weekends to experience one of the wildest and most entertaining late-night theater extravaganzas to hit New York this century. The Curse of the Mystic Renaldo The defies description – what begins as a fake silent movie (ostensibly unearthed during the construction of 3 Legged Dog’s sleek new theater center) quickly dashes off in countless delirious directions at once: There’s live rock, hilarious vaudevillian slapstick, both high and low art, free popcorn, free regular and light beer, side-splitting ribaldry and, above all, the virtuoso performance of Aldo Perez, the show’s charismatic creator. (Not to take anything away from his equally brilliant co-stars Jenny Lee Mitchell and Richard Ginocchio.) See it now so you’ll have time to catch it again before it closes. - John Del Signore

HERE’s American Living Room Festival kicked off in fine form on Friday, with free food, free colorful paper fans, and cushy sofas to sink down into. Granted, the main reason to be excited about the fans is that the noisy a/c was turned off during the performance, and there weren’t all that many sofas (regular chairs supplemented), and – let’s be honest – the place did start to smell a little bit of feet. But all that just made us feel more at home, with much the same effect on others – there was a very neighborly vibe.
