Film | The Lincoln Lawyer (2011): Thriller with Matthew McConaughey (virtual, streaming for 24 hours)


In this gripping thriller, Matthew McConaughey stars as Michael "Mick" Haller, a slick, charismatic Los Angeles criminal defense attorney who operates out of the back of his Lincoln Continental sedan. Having spent most of his career defending petty, gutter-variety criminals, Mick unexpectedly lands the case of a lifetime: defending a rich Beverly Hills playboy (Ryan Phillippe) who is accused of attempted murder. However, what initially appears to be a straightforward case with a big money pay-off swiftly develops into a deadly match between two masters of manipulation and a crisis of conscience for Haller. Directed by Brad Furman

Museums | Outsider on the Inside: Photographs from 1958 to 2008, NYC (in-person)


Bruce Davidson: Outsider on the Inside brings together more than a hundred photographs by legendary Magnum Photos member, Bruce Davidson. Ranging from study prints to rare vintage items, the exhibited works showcase Davidson’s singular ability to chronicle unmediated instances of candor and emotion activated by New York urban space. Throughout his career, Davidson has used his camera to record the stories of communities at the periphery of mainstream society. In the historic Brooklyn Gang (1959), East 100th Street (1970), Subway (1980) and Central Park (1995) photo-essays, the American photographer demonstrates his readiness to shape behind-the-lens relationships with his subjects into unapologetically honest depictions of human nature.

Dance Performance | Experimental Dance and Music (virtual)


The Vanishing Point - a collaboration between experimental musicians Booker Stardrum and Lisel (aka Eliza Bagg), and dancer/choreographer Gwendolyn Gussman - is a piece of music and dance conceived as video art and intended for the digital stage. Created across the distances of the Covid era, The Vanishing Point spirals in the anxious euphoria and isolation of our time. One lonely body in uncanny spaces is accompanied only by digital manipulations and iterations of her own form. The piece meditates on the chaos of cyberspace and the destruction of the oceans, atmosphere, and trees, and our own culpability in precipitating these events.

Staged Reading | Divine Sass: A Tribute to the Music, Life, and Legacy of Sarah Vaughan by Tony Winner (virtual)


"Divine Sass: A Tribute to the Music, Life, and Legacy of Sarah Vaughan," featuring Tony Award-winning actress and vocalist Lillias White (Dream Girls, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, South Pacific), who also wrote and conceived the show. White will highlight the music and struggles of Sarah Vaughan, a pivotal figure in the formation of be-bop who has influenced generations of vocalists with her unique style of expression and melodic phrasing. Vaughan helped desegregate American airwaves and set the stage for the civil rights activism of the 1960's and 1970's. Vaughan, called "Sassy" by the greatest jazz musicians, was not only an extraordinary vocalist but a pianist who could accompany herself and perform alone if necessary.

Play | Molly Sweeney: A Play by One of Ireland's Greatest Dramatists (virtual)


"[Molly Sweeney] sets a new standard for what online theater can and should aspire to be." - The Wall Street Journal Molly has lived in happy, capable, and independent darkness since she was ten months old. When Frank, her restless, unemployed, and enthusiastic husband, makes her blindness his latest cause, he recruits Dr. Rice, a once famous surgeon who, despite being half-drowned in Irish whiskey, agrees to attempt to restore Molly's sight. When the bandages come off, Molly, Frank, and Mr. Rice discover the differences between seeing and understanding as they face the terrible consequences of a medical miracle. Written by Brian Friel (Philadelphia, Here I Come!, Translations, Faith Healer, Dancing at Lughnasa) Directed by Charlotte Moore Starring Geraldine Hughes (Gran Torino, Killing Lincoln), Paul O'Brien, and Ciaran O'Reilly
