Stranger, smaller-room, and in-the-know Scope NYC picks for Wednesday, June 24.
This sapphic Rave Renaissance bill packs four selectors into Jupiter Disco, reading as a scene gathering with a clear identity rather than another interchangeable Pride party.
Jazz noir filtered through a Lynchian Red Room premise is exactly the sort of theatrical nightlife hybrid that makes The Red Pavilion more than a themed bar stop.
The Vermin Sisters and their rat pun arrive at Brooklyn Comedy Collective with a title too committed to grotesque sisterhood to be mistaken for a generic stand-up showcase.
A film called Curse of the Seven Jackals at Anthology needs little mainstream justification; the title and archive setting promise pulp viewed through a repertory-cinema lens.
Paper Kraine's handmade new-work energy belongs under St. Marks, where the small basement setting rewards audiences willing to take a chance on unfinished edges.

Spectacle's 10 p.m. slot for Radiation is the night's leanest microcinema proposition, ideal for anyone who prefers cryptic late programming to a conventional feature.
Close Up's late set-and-session format leaves the bandstand open to the after-hours jazz community, with Gervis Myles anchoring a night aimed at players and serious listeners.
Mezzrow turning the basement over to records at 11:30 is a properly nocturnal proposition for jazz heads who want the listening culture after the live sets end.
