The Brother/Sister Plays
Public Theater - 425 Lafayette St. - New York (NoHo)
Like everyone else in American theater, I love these powerful, elemental dramas by Tarell Alvin McCraney. Metromix offered a rave review of "The Brothers Size" last season; now you can catch up on that and McCraney's two related plays (based on African myths) about sibling rivalry in a small...
Music / Folk
Devendra Banhart and the Grogs
Music Hall of Williamsburg - 66 North Sixth Street - Brooklyn (Williamsburg)
8 p.m.
As the patriarch and primary pitchman for freak-folk (a label he shuns), Devendra Banhart has helped resuscitate the careers of old-school folkies like Vashti Bunyan, Michael Hurley and Karen Dalton.

Love Child
New World Stages - 340 W. 50th St. - New York (Midtown West)
This pocket-drama about a play's disastrous opening night tickled audiences enough last fall for a return engagement. Two actors take every role in the play-within-a-play as well as several audience members. Part of the fun is watching the quick changes pile up as the chaos builds!

The Long Count
BAM Harvey Theater - 651 Fulton St. - Brooklyn (Fort Greene)
This week only! The Long Count isn't *quite* theater, but it's some sort of awesome performance, so it deserves our attention. Bryce and Aaron Dessner of the National (the rock band) collaborate with visionary artist Matthew Ritchie to create a song-filled myth about the beginning of time. Not...
