Stranger, smaller-room, and in-the-know Scope NYC picks for Saturday, July 25.
An original-development reading with a title this unruly sounds like exactly the rough-edged theater detour worth catching early.
Eris plus this sci-fi comedy title points toward a small scene night with more personality than a standard showcase.
Spectacle hosting a play-shaped film object is already odd; the title makes it feel like a tiny experimental dispatch.
Close Up's small-room seriousness makes this names-forward bill feel like a musician's tip, not an obvious jazz-calendar pick.
A late Roxy slot for Indonesian genre cinema gives the night a cult-film path outside the usual repertory canon.
Cafe Erzulie gives this spare late listing a neighborhood-dancefloor identity that reads more local than the larger club promos.
The title is doing real comic damage here, and the PIT Loft is the right scale for something this intentionally ridiculous.
A midnight Smalls quartet set is for listeners who want the night to keep narrowing into the bandstand.
Solo piano just before midnight at Mezzrow is a very specific after-hours New York choice.
A midnight Jean-Louis Costes program at Spectacle is abrasive, tiny-room territory for viewers seeking the least polite option.
