What not to do?

Welcome to my life. Here are three unmissable things happening tonight, and I have to miss two of them.

  1. It’s opening night at the Long Wharf Theatre for John Patrick Shanley’s old play Italian-American Reconciliation, in what promises to be a thoughtful new production directed by Eric Ting. 7:30 p.m.,
  2. The Benjamin Verdery-curated Guitar Chamber Concert tonight, 8 p.m. in Yale’s Sprague Hall (470 College St.) features a guitar-based rendition of Terry Riley’s immortal work In C,  sharing the bill with the homonymic composition “Toward the Sea” by Toru Takemitsu, written in 1981 for Greenpeace’s Save the Whales.
  3. The epic local power trio Kimono Draggin’ is calling it quits, after enduring for the better part of a decade. While the band (as well known for their conceptual antics and imaginative lyrical frameworks as for their spacy hard prog-rock sounds) will be releasing a final album this summer, tonight’s gig at BAR on Crown Street is billed as their last live show.

I’m doing the Long Wharf, for the simple reason that I committed to it before I knew about the other events. But I know I’ll be having “What’d I miss?” visitations for weeks.
