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