Ten curated Scope NYC picks for Monday, June 29, 2026.
TRU Voices puts a new musical in front of a live audience before it hardens into a finished product, which is a better theater gamble than another default Broadway seat.
This Czech Center program has enough underground framing to make the film slot feel like an actual evening plan rather than a standard repertory fallback.
Pioneer Works gives this first-volume music program a bigger Red Hook frame, the sort of one-night gathering that can pull a curious art-and-sound crowd.
Jesca Hoop and Faun Fables give Le Poisson Rouge an art-folk bill with enough odd edges to stand apart from the night's safer club sets.
ABT's Don Quixote brings a full-scale ballet option to the Met, a useful live counterweight to a Monday feed crowded with small jazz rooms and repertory screens.
The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra is the Monday anchor for a reason: a durable big-band institution packed into the basement that still makes the week feel officially started.
Marcus Gilmore bringing Journey to The New to Blue Note gives the jazz calendar a forward-looking drummer-led set rather than pure club comfort food.
A prime-time Film Forum screening of The Third Man earns one classic-film slot, the rare old standby that still changes shape in a proper repertory room.
Rev. Vince at Union Pool is a Brooklyn Monday ritual with real congregation energy, less polished showcase than neighborhood release valve.
Amant's Christelle Oyiri exhibition gives the day a sharper art stop than most passive museum listings, especially for anyone willing to make the Brooklyn detour.
