Ten curated Scope NYC picks for Saturday, June 27.
The in-person context turns a major Scorsese screening into an actual afternoon event rather than a routine repertory slot.
A timed Essex Flowers stop gives the art list a Lower East Side pulse and a more specific reason to go than another all-day museum entry.
This Elsewhere rooftop bill has actual names and a sharp Pride-week identity, not just a vague dance-party wrapper.
Abrons is a useful corrective to the Broadway-heavy feed, and this evening Othello gives the Lower East Side theater slot real focus.
Marks brings a newer-generation bassist-composer voice into the Jazz Gallery, a better bet than defaulting to another familiar club set.
Brooklyn Art Haus gives this Pride edition a hybrid art-and-performance setting, making it one of the day's sharper wildcards.
Rooftop Films gives this documentary retrospective a summer-night setting with a clear New York frame and more occasion than a standard screening.
Stafford's quintet at the Vanguard is the clean jazz anchor for the night: a serious band in the city's most reliable basement.
William Parker closing a Vision Festival night at Abrons gives Saturday its strongest adventurous-music center of gravity.
La MaMa turns a simple encounter premise into live East Village inquiry, which feels more alive than most of the day's long-running theater.
