154th Street · Queens
Old friends, fresh grief, one familiar lake. Charlie Rinehart-Jones follows his sold-out debut with a raw ensemble drama about a friend group fumbling to console one of their own.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
