Tech entrepreneur Nick thinks he has the answer. After tremendous Silicon Valley success and a big exit, Nick presents his three best friends with his next big idea: an algorithm that is more complex than the human brain and promises to guide them through big life decisions better and more effectively than they can guide themselves. In an era where every aspect of human life has been documented with data and disrupted by technology, do computers know us better than we know ourselves? And even if they do, should we listen? Andrew Stein’s sharp, unnerving thriller is a timely and insightful exploration of our tech obsessed world.

7) Paris Opera Etoile Hugo Marchand
Possessing undeniable virtuosity, lyricism, and charisma, Hugo Marchand is perhaps the most famous male Étoile of the Paris Opera Ballet—the highest rank in the most prestigious ballet company in the world.
As curator and lead performer of City Center’s fifth Artists at the Center program, Marchand assembles a program of ballets exhibiting a diversity of styles from George Balanchine and Maurice Béjart to Carolyn Carlson.
The highlight of the program is Maurice Béjart’s Boléro, a tour de force piece for a dancer so special that few artists have been granted permission to perform the work since its creation in 1961. Set to Ravel’s Boléro, Marchand dances an athletic, dramatic solo surrounded by 18 dancers from the Béjart Ballet Lausanne
Marchand also dances a pas de deux with fellow Paris Opera Ballet Étoile Dorothée Gilbert from the seductive, sumptuous Le Parc by Angelin Preljocaj. Inspired by Les Liaisons Dangereuses and set to music by Mozart, Le Parc is a sensual exploration of the way love blossoms through a balance of classical and modern forms. The program also includes Béjart’s The Firebird, performed by Béjart Ballet Lausanne, returning to New York for the first time in 30 years; George Balanchine’s Sonatine with Paris Opera Ballet Étoiles Léonore Baulac and Germain Louvet; Trois gnossiennes with Baulac and Marchand; and a pas de deux from Carolyn Carlson’s Signes with Gilbert and Louvet.

8) Pepper Slit: Live in Her Living Room
“Saturday Night Live” alum Chloe Troast will write and star in the new theatrical experience PEPPER SLIT: Live in Her Living Room directed by comedian Sam Blumenfeld.
Troast stated, "’Pepper’ is a woman that lives inside me and has probably lived there my whole life. At age 11, my favorite Broadway show was Follies – a classic preteen tale about the decay of female beauty and fading fame within an unscrupulous industry of vaudeville and burlesque. I was obsessed with Liza, Bernadette, Elaine Stritch, Carol Burnett, Eartha Kitt, Little Edie, Cher. Divas of stage and screen. ‘Pepper’ is an amalgamation of all these things plus a newborn baby. She has been everywhere, done everything, is wistful, entitled, crass, yet somehow innocent. She is a live wire and an open wound with an enormous story to tell."

It’s the last night of the summer of 1963 at The Jack of Hearts Club, a rowdy Provincetown bar where a group of regulars gathers for their annual "So Long, Summer" cabaret send-off. Everyone's here: community matriarch Dorothy, who runs the joint; her daughter Elizabeth, who's steeling herself for the end of another summer romance; and wide-eyed piano player Sonny, who's wrapping up his first season at The Jack of Hearts. As Elizabeth begins to imagine a life beyond the safe harbor of Provincetown, Sonny prepares to say goodbye to his first real friends. Everyone is trying to find where they belong.
This original musical tells a story about community, belonging, and the human need for connection. Featuring the rousing music and lyrics of Jon Richardson, THE JACK OF HEARTS CLUB will leave you humming into the night to the tune of unabashed queer joy.
