Ten curated Scope NYC picks for Tuesday, June 16.
An opening reception gives this SummerStage photo show the timed social energy that the day's all-day art listings mostly lack.
Abrons gives the Shakespeare slot a downtown scale and some neighborhood charge, more appealing than drifting into default Broadway.
Samara Joy in the Jazz Gallery's close quarters is a much more intimate proposition than her bigger-name profile might suggest.
The anniversary frame gives this Dizzy's set historical weight, while Bokani Dyer keeps it from feeling like a purely institutional tribute.
Widowspeak at Music Hall gives the night a polished Brooklyn indie option that still feels local enough to beat the broader touring filler.
CPR's benefit format should pull a dance and performance crowd, making this feel like a scene night as much as a show.
Metrograph is exactly where a Carpenter repertory hit still feels like an occasion, and this is the film pick with the sharpest night-out pull.
Hersch, Gress, and Erskine make the Vanguard the clearest jazz anchor of the night, with a trio serious enough to justify planning around it.
Pioneer Works turns a Kim Stanley Robinson evening into a real Red Hook plan, somewhere between literary salon and science-minded art crowd.
Close Up is the right scale for this late musician-led set, a downtown listening-room pick with more edge than the safer club circuit.
