Stranger, smaller-room, and in-the-know Scope NYC picks for Wednesday, June 3.
Readings and short films at Night Club 101 sounds like a fashion-literary crossover with its own small crowd.
A Nuyorican offsite open mic at Loisaida keeps the poetry lane local, social, and less obvious than a marquee reading.
Bruce Baillie at Anthology is a proper experimental-film pick, short, concentrated, and meant for people who know that calendar.
Cyberpunk sound-world programming at The Red Pavilion has the specificity of a fan scene with live-theater edges.
The title and basement setting point toward a small, self-defined performance-art night rather than a polished gallery stop.
Sid Gold's is built for weird piano-bar theatrics, and this cabaret title leans all the way into that lane.
A storytelling night called Troublemaker at Farm.One has the off-grid neighborhood feel that bigger theater listings miss.
The title is absurd in the right way, and Eris Deep Space gives it a believable home for oddball Brooklyn comedy.
Late-night vinyl at Mezzrow is more hang than headliner, a very particular after-hours jazz-adjacent tip.
A Smalls jam just before midnight is where the listing turns into musician traffic and the night stops feeling programmed.
